Is there a problem?

Posts were written in a topic that violated the rules and was removed.

Perhaps these posts and attracted the attention of a moderator to violate the rules topic  ;)

How old are you? lol don't you know how to use ruler in paint to underline properly? QuestioningAuthority is a merit source and if you are a quality poster you could ask him to find your good posts and merit them.

LOL ;D

I don't think that is a good idea, asking for merit is considered as merit begging right? Especially when asking thru pm's and posting inside the forum. You're very sarcastic men!

I'm a man not men, lol. also what I said is true, he is giving merits to people posting on his thread I'm just too lazy to find it. asking for merit from merit sources is not begging if they have missed your good posts, they are not obligated to read every single post, you could help them to find your meritable posts by asking them if they have a dedicated thread to giveaway merits.

Some merit sources like OgNasty and suchmoon would tag you with red if you ask them for merits but I would personally find your good posts and merit them.

They might not have necessarily been deleted by a moderator. If the user deletes their posts then it will also say this. I think if a post is removed either by staff or the user themselves then the merit should be removed also as it can be used to hide abuse. I have seen QuestionAuthority (amongst others) merit posts that have in fact been copy and pastes before. It would be quite easy to copy someone else's very informative or helpful post or article from elsewhere then just delete it once if has been merited and get rid of the possibility of the abuse being uncovered at some point.

I doubted that scenario in these highlighted cases (I don't think anyone would be deleted their posts tagged with merits :P)

Those posts were merited before 20th of July 2018. So users normally didn't try to remove those posts since Merit abuse isn't moderated by the forum. But not now, go and hide somewhere dear merit abusers,
"theymos" has started to take actions regarding Merit abuse cases. (but not mere abuse scenarios)

Merit sources also not the machines but normal human beings, their judgments sometimes can be wrong(since plagiarism is all over the forum and hard to identify). But since so much of Merits have been wasted, Merit sources also better to think twice before meriting so much of Mertis. I think "theymos" should give authority to do the reversals of Merit transactions where source identifies a clear violation of forum rules even after he/she merited.
