I am curios to know if merits can be deleted. From this
self moderated mega thread, the notice on it simply reads, "
This is a self-moderated topic. If you do not want to be moderated by the person who started this topic, create a new topic. (170 posts by 1 users with 9 merit deleted.)" Does this sentence in any way implies that merits can be deleted if the post by a user is removed?
It won't be deleted.
If that merited post was deleted, you will see this information at your merit summary page.
(Deleted/Off-limits/Ignored)
It is same if you change your Ignore Board Preference setting.
An example is Ratimov/ Symmetrick.
Delete many merited posts.
