I’m getting annoyed with people that ask a question, have the community answer their question and troubleshoot over several days, only to delete their post and the solution.
The person asking the question is often providing the least amount of effort, so why should they have exclusive right to delete the contributions of others?
Possible fix: have a per-community option to only request deletion.
Apparently. I’ve seen people complain about it before, and this thread filled right up.
I guess I don’t see it because the posts are deleted. Ultimately I think people should be able to delete their own posts, so I think you have to try to make it part of the rules or etiquette that the community enforces
I disagree. I put a lot of work into a response because I expect others to have similar problems and they need an up to date answer. Then someone else deletes the main post and makes my response also disappear. This is very disrespectful of my time and effort in answering a question.
maybe a deleted post should just have the post replaced with post deleted and all the comments should remain but it should be locked to more comments.
