Question: Can negative karma be eliminated by merely deleting a negatively rated post?

Hm, though that might be a problem if the post is already quite old or has a lot of comments...

1) Karma changes have not historically disappeared when the comments or posts responsible for them have been deleted, as far as I know.

2) Deleted posts can still be accessed if you know the permalink, and the comments remain in place too. Deletion only makes the post inaccessible through certain avenues like the sidebar.
