Does deleting of old post affects a participant who is handling signature?

[Assface16678]

Today most of the campaign managers are counting the old post or actually say they are viewing the total number of your post or contents to verify if you are active on the bitcointalk forum and it does not matter if you have an old post because as you can see on the thread and proof of the authentication of you are trying to apply on the campaign is they are indicating the number of posts. If you deleted some posts before the campaign it does not too much effect too because it depends still on the number of good contents you are giving or contributing too.

Still, it is better to become active on our forum to avoid getting too much reduction on the activity and meet the expectation is the activity needed, post, and rank requirements.

If the manager is counting your post base on the last post in a week then there will be a problem for your signature participation iF you only post exact post they required.you need to always post more than what your campaign is requiring  so even there  Will be deleted thread your counted post will not be affected .

I haven’t encountered the case you mention going over an end of 2018 full profile database I’ve got (provided by @piggy at the time), being the number of posts is consistent with at least the minimum Activity range value.

There are some limited cases (those with at least 1 earned merit) that I can detect as de-ranked, having a high initial rank to begin with. Wolf0 is probably the worst case, having gone from Legendary or (Hero with 1K Merits) back to Member. desynct went from Hero member to Brand New (and subsequently seems to have abandoned the account after the event).

As stated by Welsh, that only depends on your campaign manager and has nothing to do with forum rules.
I think the best thing you can do is to send a message to your campaign manager and let him/her know why your post count has decreased.

I just did, so as I got the replies on this post, it's likely to be that there is no problem deleting the old post but I should make sure I meet up my week post as stated by the rules of the signature Campaign.

You can easily count how many post you made at the end of the week manually. Assuming your posts aren't spam, chances are 9 out of 10 will not be deleted by the mods so you should be able to fill up the quota. Of course,  that still doesn't guarantee your manager to not count your post due to quality issues.

I can't recall when I encounter things in the forum exactly, tried to search and I found this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1226681.msg16290560#msg16290560
The account isn't hero anymore after few days?
Or there was a change when the merit system was implemented?
Or does it take days to demote a hero +/- legendary?
I still believe legendary is a permanent rank unless there was a recent change that I am not aware of? Cannot be the only one here encountering this before 2018!

The forum is typically updated with new things so it depends on the manager how he will count the posts But if the posts are deleted for the signature campaign then there's a selected reason that the posts are usually deleted once they are off-topic. That's why if we post a couple of more posts after the weekend deleting the post won't be a drag All posts are going to be counted at the top of the week Also, the post isn't counted if the thread is deleted.

The case you comment may have been a bug of some sort. He was last active on the 07/05/2016, yet @zararb’s comment is from the 18/09/2016 (stating that the hero account has deleted all posts but remained a Hero) – over four months later. That would point to it being a bug, which at some point was corrected, as his current Newbie rank goes to show.

I really can’t locate any cases that can support the possibility of not losing rank beyond a certain point of Activity (and deleting posts subsequently, which tends to decrease Activity).

This case was also caught-up in some kind of illogical situation:
https://web.archive.org/web/20160127165655/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=62794 -> Legendary with 182 Activity and 182 posts back in January 2016.
https://web.archive.org/web/20171128074228/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=62794 -> Still a Legendary with 309 Activity and 309 posts back in October 2017.
Currently a Sr. Member with 301 Activity and 301 posts (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=62794).

My guess is that these anomalies were corrected at some point in the algorithm, and no longer take place (perhaps when introducing the Merit System, which could have led to revising this).

Greetings to everyone going through this topic, Now a quick question to the legendaries on Bitcointalk, much as to those who have been in Bitcointalk forum for a long time (years). Please does deleting of my old previous post that has been made for years on BITCOINTALK FORUM affects my present activities when it comes to Bounty signature Campaign that am handling presently. I believe few users just like newbies who know nothing about bounty signature Campaign will love to get you contributions. Thanks ✌️

When you have deleted posts if will surely reflect in your profile and you could notice that the number of posts is decreasing because of the deleted post.

The manager will count the post and record the post in the spreadsheet, if the post is deleted then it will not be recorded but if it deleted after the recording then I guess it still recorded. So if its already reported then even if the post is deleted it's still okay.

Im is not sure if I answer your question but that's how I understand it.

Nice catch. However, I don't believe there was a bug concerning the legendary rank since I recall seeing the same thing happened in the past quite few times. I am not sure about hero as I said but for legendary I think the modification took place when the merit system was implemented allowing it to be de-ranked just like any other rank

Am not ranked to that membership yet so I probably don't even know what might have happened to that account or possibly that account might have endoged on some kind of spamming or scamming. My issue here is different to what you brought up. Thanks...

Seems every BM has its own way of counting stakes base on their own methods am just getting this now, and secondly I have run up that method of making more that 10 post for that week just in case 1 post got deleted out of 10 post it won't affect, so Making up 11 post is the best method.

Yeah sorry we went too far in our discussion.
I gave you in my second post in this topic a solution for your problem that you can consider. Otherwise just tolerate your past, neglect toxic comments and move on  

[libert19]

You can always ask the bm how post count is handled (as mentioned in first reply), if it's 1-2 posts, then just make those extra posts. No biggie.
