No worry. I think they will back up your stakes. Because this is a objective reason, it's not your fault.

See this thread. Depending on who the bounty manager is, they may decide to still give you credit for your posts, but it just depends. You may want to ask them about it. In the future, focus on making better posts though. One merit isn't super difficult to achieve as long as you put a little bit of though into your posts.
