I know of two or three accounts that have engaged in this act of deleting their own previous post, I've thought about why they do this and nothing else comes to mind except that which I've expressed above, i am not going to mention their usernames since this thread is not about them, but me personally asking if this is an ideal thing to do, i know there is no rule restricting users from deleting their previous posts when they feel like it, but I don't know why I feel doing such is a cheating on other honest forum members, as well as campaign managers who might believe you to be a quality poster based on your low posts count and merit earned, not knowing that you are just an average poster like most users of the forum, that deleting previous post is what has kept your post counts down..
What do you guys think or make of this?, its an honest enquiry please..
I totally understand your confusion here. But the selection method and criteria of many managers is still a myth to me. Because i am a person who have spent most of the time in bounties. And you can check i made more than 600+ posts in bounties making report, POA etc. Such posts are spam or not that i don't know about. But, when i started to participate in discussion i started to rank.
And when i became full members i was as happy as when i got my first merit. (Which according to my mindset was not free) but when i got one i came to know that merits are free and you can also give them to others. SO, is started to grow as my words are good to others (proof is they are giving me merits means appreciating my words). Overall, is, i when applied for Signature campaigns. i was rejected by many campaign managers. But one day i got accepted in Yomix signature campaign by Royse777. I was fully in confusion at that time after getting so much rejection and become to think that my profile is total waste as i made many posts which have no contribution to the forum and i also think to delete them but i cannot do that. Well, when i got accepted by royse777 i was relaxed to know that.
There is no such thing that you have made so many spammy posts before. That's in past, if you come to know that post quality is important and started to make some quality posts then managers might consider you. But still, there selection method is still myth to me. Because there are plenty of things they might observe before selecting one member. And of course they do not only rely on tools. As recently i made a mistake by using tools and manager was at right as she did it manually.
