Deleting Several Previous Posts/Comments To Reduce Post Count...

[Little Mouse]

but what @lovesmayfamilis is talking about is something that may have happened before during an ICO and the bounty exploded.

That didn't happen in the ICO era, I haven't heard of that but it happened recently, maybe 1 year ago at maximum. There was a user who posted the same topic a few times. They used to delete the previous topic and create a new one exactly with the same content. They were trying to get merit twice for the same post lol and sadly they were able to get some merit until they were exposed.

The case was solved and second chance should be given to any member who deserves it.

I believe it is the case you are talking about as I have never known about any similar case. He can receive merit by bumping his threads and don't need to archive old ones and create new ones.

That's right; thanks for the reminder. I couldn't remember the details, but I remembered that I had seen it.
Pretty tricky behavior, probably. Then I suggested that perhaps there are such craftsmen who, by deleting old posts, can write them again.
Thank you for pointing me to the right topic. There are so many events on the forum that some topics simply remain in memory but without specific individuals.

Thanks for reminding me about the case, it's true that it happened more than a year ago which we can find in the thread referenced by @tranthidung. But during the ICO, I think some users also had similar habits like the above case. They're not doing it for merit, but I'm not sure what the motive is other than just not wanting to bother with making different posts in different threads.

I don't remember who did it, but someone seems to have uncovered it at the time. That is cheat behavior that is most likely just ripping off the campaign/ bounty manager. But deleting posts when you're not using any kind of signature for the purpose of ridding yourself of past junk wouldn't be a problem in my opinion.

Well, members who do so because they want to impress a campaign manager with their low activity but high merit will not even get accepted because almost all the managers have one similar characteristics for the selection of members during application which I have noticed. I will not mention what it is, but campaign managers don't even only look at merit earned; that's why you hear them (managers) saying that you should earn at least five merits in the last 120 days.

    It's always a member's decision to delete only a few posts (which is not bad) that they consider trash, as it doesn't look good on their profile again, but wanting to delete 100 or more posts at once is just a bit unethical.

This idea doesn't follow. I mean this fellow cannot join a flowing conversation because something written months ago might not be relevant for current discussion. If I should ask, what happened to his brain. After making the first post, was the user's brain blocked from producing more posts?

There is an ulterior motive why someone would do it, but I believe they are just part of spammers.
So far I'm not sure if I've ever found anyone who did, but what @lovesmayfamilis is talking about is something that may have happened before during an ICO and the bounty exploded.

There have been a lot of bounty spammers gone since the forums introduced the merit system. Many accounts were simply abandoned and only some of them started changing their posting patterns and quality in order to rank up and build a better reputation.

The way people talk about this ICO period, it seems that many shits really happened then. I think it was worse because I have read somewhere that some user alleged that the level of spamming then contributed to why some quality users left the forum. I don't know how true this claim is but I have my doubts. If the ICO spam was much, the spam should be concentrated in the altcoins board and not the forum at large. I mean anyone can ignore a certain board and continue using the forum.
