Usually on this forum when an account is permanently banned all the posts and activities of the user gets deleted; now with the introduction of Merit,
(I) Will the merits given by the banned user remain?
(II) If yes, will it show the banned account username?
Banned accounts post and activity cant be deleted for the ban. His/her activity or post may decrease if any post has been deleted by moderator if the post cant fulfill forum requirement.

Not true. This only happens when the user gets nuked (mainly when the user is a Newbie with a recently created account).

(I) Will the merits given by the banned user remain?
(II) If yes, will it show the banned account username?
Yes. Nothing will change. The user won't be able to post or merit anyone, but the account will stay the same as before.

If I find the post I'll update here.

I can't remember where I read this but about a week ago it was reported a banned user could hand out their merits.

Pretty sure within a day that was fixed, and that privilege was removed, as it would have promoted merit sales.

If I find the post I'll update here.
