I opened up my first chatroom for help on a question. It can be found . Now I'm wondering, is it my responsibility to delete the chatroom? What is the proper etiquette?

I created a test room on chat, but I can't see how to delete it.

seems to be making edits to his own questions and saying that he's flagging them for deletion (not sure about the flagging part though since I don't have enough rep for that, but that's according to his newly edited questions. However according to his reputation - 10 currently - he shouldn't even have flagging privileges yet).  I stumbled upon one of his questions in the close queue, it had an accepted answer so I reverted the question back one step, and having seen that he's done the same thing to multiple questions I'm not sure about how this should be handled. I am not sure about if he has access to the delete button on his own questions or not.  As I'm not sure how to handle this I wanted to bring it to the community's attention and ask for support for how to handle future cases like this. Should all questions be reverted back? Should they be closed (possibly with the motivation "user seems to want this question gone")?

I deleted one of my questions and would like to undelete it. This requires finding the question.  I think you shouldn't be prevented from seeing your own posts that you have deleted. It should be easier than me remembering the link or checking the browser history to easily look these up.   I would currently need 10K to see my deleted items and even then if I can find their URL.

I've used chatrooms for Stack Overflow earlier. Is it still available? When I go to  I get the message above. It's happening for a few weeks or more.

I asked this in the tavern. I need to ask a question anonymously as my profile is pretty much traceable to me.  I've been told that logging out and asking the question will do. However I'm worried that when I log in again the question will be re-associated with my account.    I'm not worried about reputation but more that it reflects on people in real life I know indirectly and I don't want to offend them.  Is it sufficient to just log out and ask the question?  Edit 1: clarification added in comments. I don't think any of the people concerned are members of these sites but they are readers. What I wouldn't like is for someone to see a situation similar to the one they're in, combined with my username, my email address on my profile, my location. Pretty much means that if someone were to see the question they'd know it was about them. That's what I don't want.  Edit 2: Morality I want to make it clear if this is against the rules I won't do it. I'm quite happy to let the mods know it was me who made the post. I won't be upvoting it either.  You've all been great telling me How to do this but just like Kragen I'd like an official nod to go ahead. I don't know whether this behaviour is bannable, discouraged, encouraged (as I'm trying to prevent hurting people's feelings) or otherwise.  Secondly I'm not worried about them trying to track me down, just an accidental spot. So long as it doesn't have my username, which let's face it would be recognised directly connected to the post, I'm happy.

It was nice to discover the option for a room owner to add any user to a room, even if their rep is too low.     ...so I notified the user in question, and as instructed on the next screen, I had them got to chat.stackoverflow.com so that I'd be able to add them.    ...but when they did their part, and I did my part, I got the message:    Obviously both frustrated, the user's next logical question was:  "So I just have ask a couple questions and get someone to upvote them, right?"    Needless to say, we don't want to encourage new users to post questions for the sole purpose of bypassing a frustrating, misdocumented rule.  I realize this will likely quickly get closed since it has at least one  - which hasn't been touched in 5½ years.  However it would be nice if the issue was revisited:  Ideally, it would be cool if RO's did have the option of deciding who had access to the room they "own", but short of that, is it possible to remove the 6 "misleading" words from that page?

I have answered two questions:       On the first one we've posted 12 comments, and on the second one only 7.   But - Why am I only getting the Please avoid extended discussions in comments. Would you like to automatically move this discussion to chat? notice in the SECOND answer, while the first one has more comments?

This is related to  question. I think we should discourage "Belongs on S[OFU]" type comments. I think they encourage the OP to go to the indicated site and re-ask the question. Flagging/voting to move on the question should be sufficient. Assuming this is the case, would it be proper to flag those comments for mod removal to hopefully get them removed before a new user sees them and duplicates the question?  Or, another example:    Or, even worse, but this new (!) user probably just doesn't know better:

I'm not a moderator. I have ~50k rep on Server Fault. I am a regular in chat.  Because chat allows all 10k+ users across the network to act on chat flags, I (and many other regulars in SF chat) see some problematic users from other chats flagging things that aren't actually offensive.  I disagree with the current chat moderation model where anyone from any community with enough rep can vote on small snippets of text that provide no context. I think that's a bad system. It's been brought up time and again that there must be a better way to handle it, but nothing has happened to date.  If the global chat moderation system won't be re-thought, I would like to be given a way to opt out of seeing chat flags that originate from outside rooms that I'm currently in.   I was never elected as a mod, I never asked to be able to see them, and they get on my nerves.    TL;DR - I don't want to see chat flags from rooms that I'm not in. Let me opt out of seeing them.​​​​​​​​​

Important: This question is being asked here, and not on the Programmers Meta,  because I believe that several SE sites suffer from this same, specific problem.    On Programmers, I see a pattern emerging.   New User sees the "Programmers" site title, and asks their incomplete, "fix my broken code" question. Community members comment that their question is off-topic, and recommend Stack Overflow.  New User says "thanks" and leaves, leaving their undeleted question for the community to clean up.    What seems clear to me is that:   New User has never seen the "What kinds of questions can I ask about here" page, or if they have, they've clicked through it without reading it. New User doesn't know how to move their question to the right place properly  (i.e. post on new site, delete from old site). Community cleanup of such questions is onerous.  The moderators on Programmers, following the principle that the community should moderate itself for the most part, are not proactive about removing such questions unless they're especially egregious. Migration is even more onerous.   OK, so we have the .  Here's what it says about topicality, about halfway down the page:    Note to those who are confused about Programmers' site scope: it's all right there, in black and white.  However, I do notice a problem.  It's circled in red.  That's our fault, the fault of the Programmers community.  What we really meant to say was "Don't ask your code troubleshooting questions here; those belong on Stack Overflow."  Coding tools deserves its own bullet.  We should fix that.  However, what are the chances that the user is actually seeing this, and evaluating whether or not they should ask their question based on this?  So here's my question, in two acts:  ACT I:  Is there a way to highlight the pain points of a particular site to new users specifically, so that we can be very clear that we don't want those questions that are clearly and unambiguously off-topic on our site, before they ask their question?  ACT II: Failing that, is there a way that we can fast-track the removal of such questions so that they no longer pollute our front page?

When two users message each other in the comments one too many times, Stack Exchange presents a message as follows:     Would you like to automatically move this discussion to chat?   I clicked on it thinking it would move the discussion to chat. Well, it kind of did that. It copied the discussion to chat, and left the original comments behind.  There's an easy fix for this: use the correct verb.  suggested...     Would you like to continue this discussion in chat?   ... and my original suggestion was...     Would you like to automatically copy this discussion to chat?   What do you think?

I recently found this  with the chatbot and wanted to know what all of the chatbot commands do (including learned ones and the ones with no definition.) What exactly was the Chat Sandbox designed for, and what are the commands/what do they do?

I ask partially in relation to , but also for my own use;  My question is, if I leave a comment on a question or answer that is subsequently deleted, does the (non-10k) poster get a notification, if they arrive on the site after the content has already been deleted? And if so, can they then view the content?  I often leave what I hope are helpful comments when I flag content for deletion, especially for borderline spam and for non-answers. Very often, the user won't return to the site before the content is deleted, though.  So, is this practice at all helpful to the OP?

I just ran across  and immediately thought to myself "yes, that should be deleted." But before I recommended deletion, I took a quick look at the question.  What the hell? A red background? The question is deleted? Must be a review audit... But then I still get a popup when I click the Recommend Deletion button... Ok, now I'm confused...  Taking a look at the , none of the answers under it are actually deleted.  Is this something to do with the question having been posted clear back in 2008? I mean, it wasn't deleted until 2011 (but automatically), so I wouldn't suspect that to be the problem. Is something else going on here? Should we clearly be blaming Sam for this?  If this isn't a bug, I'd say that LQP review certainly shouldn't be picking answers from closed and deleted questions. It's not like anyone can actually see those (and it should be deleted anyways).

Consider the following scenario please:   I see a question and think I have a good answer or comment. I post my answer or comment and move on happily. After couple of hours I see comments that my answer is bad because this and that and it's really bad - I didn't think enough before posting.   The question is: should I delete my post, or leave it be so that people won't repeat my own mistake?

It came up in chat that a spammer's account needed destroyed; their posts had been deleted but their name (which was offensive) still showed up on the front page as updates to posts and their user account hadn't been deleted.   Someone in chat wanted this fixed but there "wasn't anything to flag" so they complained in chat rather than flagging, which would have directly notified moderators. For future reference how should I tell users to handle a situation like this? Just flag a related post with the "Other" flag reason and explain the situation? What if there's no "related" post?

Some discussions don't belong even on meta, e.g. when it's pure noise.  But sometimes we want to make some noise amongst ourselves, don't we? At least I know I do. I've only been on Stack Overflow for a few months, but I already felt like I've started to develop some connections to other users, and just want to... chat?  So where can we do this? Is there an IRC/Google wave channel/whatever where SO users hang out where we can just ask, "How's everybody doing today?"
