What do you guys think or make of this?
I know several users that are deleting their posts after a certain period of time for privacy reasons. I guess, most of them know that their posts are also tracked via tools like Ninjastic or BPIP, but they don't want the posts to be found directly via Bitcointalk.
I think that is a fair concern. Not everyone wants their posts to be found via Google at first glance even years later.
I do not believe that the post/merit ratio is the decisive point here.
I do not get the privacy reason for deleting the posts. Is there any confidential information in those deleted posts that can harm the privacy? I am sure this is not the case.
Also, the merit-to-post ratio should not be a concern here because most managers will either look for the merits attained in the last 120 days or they will manually see the posting habits and sections where the person posts.
Maybe those people are deleting the posts as they think they have posted using AI or something like that and they now fear that they might get caught someday, so they decide to delete the old posts. That can be one possible reason.
