I have never been asked to delete a post, this may be an indication that this situation does not happen often.

Well, the moderators aren't lazy, to be honest, so I got the DM in a brief moment. In short, the reputation board seems to be watched a lot by the moderators.

Yes, but how can someone keep track of every post a person made quoting a spam/off-topic (deleted), also keeping in mind if there are multiple quoted posts and single one out of all gets deleted for being off-topic/spam.
I cannot imagine this sort of situations happen very often where so many replies are deleted that the thread loses a lot of its context. If you do miss the few times it happened, mods will be on hand to handle it themselves or send a message.

...In Hot-Topics moderators can be responsible, but how can a handful mods will ask the poster(s) to delete multiple posts.

The message from the mod already settles the issue. Mods are encouraged to use their interpretation of the rules as much as possible and to improvise when there are no clear rules. That is what the mod did here by asking you to handle the posts yourself, rather than deleting them and you getting the automated notification.

Yup, the mod put it respectfully.

If you are asking if it is ethical to delete your own posts that have lost their context, it is to me.

Then how will the person keep noticing this?, In Hot-Topics moderators can be responsible, but how can a handful mods will ask the poster(s) to delete multiple posts.

You are also not at any risk of plagiarism, you were not claiming the text.

Recently, in beef with user "Tiger Fist," in Thread pakhitheboss bias| Alleged alt of some ranked member, most likely in a campaign.

The user kept taking the thread off-topic, citing me wherever I felt necessary, and I responded. Then, his posts were reported and deleted by the Moderator.

But mine quoting and replying to his weren't for some reason. I can't find any rules regarding "Posts to be self-deleted, in case the quoted Post has been deleted due to off-topic/spam."

So, I got a message from a Mod requesting me to delete the posts for a reason: "Since the posts you commented on in this thread have been deleted for being off-topic, your posts are now left “hanging in the air.” Therefore, they should be deleted." (I am not disclosing the Name of the person, only a partial DM, I hope it won't be counted for plagiarism).

The moderator did the right thing by asking, for there are no rules for such an event, or had there been in the past (I never came across such)

The posts I self-deleted:

[1] - https://ninjastic.space/post/64966230
[2] - https://ninjastic.space/post/64966290




Another considerable thought comes to mind: Should the person correcting/answering someone where they're mentioned should be deleting their content?
If this is the case, then how would they avoid it? This will also most likely not apply to every board.
