Losing about 700 karma is not so grave consequence (it’s about 2 months worth of karma based on eugman’s last 30 days gain) to justify non-standard karma mining posts or comments, which are small but still real inconvenience to the readers.
I agree it is not. But clearly he was asking for a way to keep the association with at least some of his posts so far, I was just brainstorming on how this might be achieved.
Also as time goes on [deleted] will have more and more articles to his name. The non-standard karma miner is an inconvenience agreed, but it is also a source of information for the reader. “Aha this [deleted] guy wrote this stuff too and now posts under this account!”

Fair enough. Creating a page linking to the important old posts is certainly useful. Only I wouldn’t include the “please upvote” request.
