I saw something mysterious in one signature campaign. There was a participant who was wondering, that he downgraded to senior. But isn't it impossible to downgrade from Newbie, Hero and Legendary, although activity goes down?
I can't find this post anymore, but maybe a campaign manager can remember.

I think that this is not possible, maybe he deleted some of his posts, but the activity of an account is what determines the rank of the account, so maybe it was a bug, i dont think that there is a way that an account can be downgroaded from any rank, it is impossible i guess.
I tried it when i got promoted to Full member, i had 120 posts, and i deleted one, and nothing happened to my account (this happened a few months ago)

No, that's not the way, that activity works. When you have deleted one of your 120 posts and would have waited for an hour, your rank would have gone down to member. There is a delay in activity counting.
Full members, senior members and members can downgrade, when they loose their activities. So, don't try out to delete all your posts, because you would become a newbie, lol.

AFAIK, if you delete a post that resulted in you gaining 1 activity from an previous period of 14-days, you will also lose that 1 activity.

Example: You have 14 of activity, in the next period you posted 14 times and gained +14 of activity; Now you have 28 in total. If you wait 1 year and delete some of those old posts, you will lose the activity gained by them. If you made 15 posts instead of 14, and deleted the last one in the future, you will not lose any activity because that particular post didn't result in your +1 activity.
