You should file a complaint about this moderator. The lack of technical merit should never be a reason for deleting a question or even downgrading it from pro to non-pro.

It is not the moderator's business to make judgments on the "technical merit" or otherwise of a question.

I answered a question and got 4 points from the asker, then the moderator deleted the question.

I asked a question and then got an answer but the moderator deleted the question (he doesn't even work in the field and yet came to the "verdict" that it "lacks technical merit").

I don't think the moderators are doing anything good for us translators. Instead, they are more of a hindrance than a help on this website.

I understand there are rules, but if a question was posted and people were talking about it, the question was worth asking, right? Maybe some rules need to be changed.

Just wonder your opinions, guys.
