Re: Stats on the Rank pipeline - How many are we on the way to ranking up ?
* pafu -> Being a Member, started off with a 500 Merit airdrop instead of 10 (could be a bought account, but I thought there were no demotions..). -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=25731
If you delete the posts that gave you activity points, you will lose them. Pafu has posted this in the Portuguese local board (my language):Puts, perdi o rank de Hero Member porque apaguei meus posts 
Which translates to: "Shit, I lost my Hero Member rank because I deleted my posts".
Thanks for the insight. It seemed something rather weird, and now we know we can demoted ourselves by going easy on post deletion.
