What circumstances can cause a question or answer to be deleted, and what does that actually mean?    How can a post be deleted? When can't I delete my own post? Can I still see my post even after it's deleted? Can I see a list of my deleted posts? How can I undelete one of my posts? What does deletion mean for a post? How do votes to delete work? What are the criteria for deletion? What else should I know about deleted posts? If I flag my question with a request to delete it, what will happen?       For more information, see the articles about  and  in the .

I notice a really worrying trend of some really popular questions being closed and eventually deleted. Some of them became legends already, like this one  ? Yes, it does not fit the format ideally, but what is point of obeying the letter of the law to such extent that it becomes ridiculous? Ok, closing is fine if community leaders became so pedantic, but why go so far as to even delete it? At this point it looks like burning old pictures just because you don't like them.  Update: Summary  For now I heard only two clear arguments:   Those questions pollute search results.  Those questions don't play well with enforcing question and answer standards.   Both of that statements are easily verifiable and to my experience are just false.

The title of  of  is, "Is it posible [sic]?"  This doesn't provide any information at all. It should be mandatory for everyone asking questions on the Internet to read , which says:     Help your community learn from the question. When you field a good question, ask yourself "How would the relevant documentation or FAQ have to change so that nobody has to answer this again?"

they were question banned; it turned out it (in part) it was because of deleted questions.   was deleted by the Community user.  I'm aware it will delete old posts that have a negative score, but for a minute or two, I was really puzzled as to why it was unilaterally deleted without some notation left.  Can we have the Community user leave a notation in a post's history as to why the post was deleted?    Something like the following would suffice:     Post deleted automatically due to having negative votes and no activity for three months

I am aware that is was asked to have  and , however I couldn't find anywhere any indication of past moderators e.g. someone who was moderator year or two ago but no longer act as one. My incentive for asking for such a thing:  (10K+ rep needed to see it) was deleted by a  who is not a moderator now. I can only guess he was moderator back in March 30th 2011 when he deleted it, but it's only an assumption. So, to the  I suggest to add another link like &quot;Archive&quot; or &quot;Past moderators&quot;.

Do the SO admins have any plans to release the underlying code for SO at all? I appreciate that the code may be part of their competitive advantage, but it strikes me that the underlying system would work for any topic, not just programming.  I am not advocating this, just curious really, but figured it might be under consideration as most of the value in SO is in the questions and answers, which have been released under a relatively open CC license.

I was just reading , i.e., stop moderation and similar type duties, for some period of time to get the attention of the SE staff. It was only on the site for a few minutes, and I was just about finished reading it, when it was deleted. I assume the OP didn't delete it, so I suspect it was likely done by a moderator. I realize having somebody ask other people to take such actions would not be appreciated by SE, but I don't believe such censorship is warranted. As far as I know (but I'm not an expert), it didn't break any rules here.  I have seen from various recent posts and answers there's a lot of confusion, frustration and anger here, with people going to reduce or stop various moderation type activities regardless of whether or not any posts explicitly asking people to take such actions are removed. Actually, I would not be surprised if this post will also be removed just for me asking about it.

Well, I already searched meta as well as cleared my browser cache.  I realize this may be a SO cache problem, but it still seems kind of strange to me.    The deleted question is (assuming it still exists).  Shouldn't deleted questions only be visible to 10k users?  I'm only at 2k.

Today I saw "", realized it was a duplicate and voted to close it.  I then saw in the comments that I had voted to close it four days ago!  How did that happen? There were no close votes listed at all, and I was permitted to vote to close it today!

Nice hole in the system... You can pretty much say anything in a revision comment and it cannot be removed or cleaned up by a mod.  See  for an example.  Mods need the ability to at least remove the comment, if not the ability to edit the text of it.

I was wondering why I couldn't delete my own question. Well actually, I have accepted the question itself to be wrong and even I feel that I have accepted a wrong answer, but when I try to delete my question, I get a message saying that,"This question can't be deleted, flag it for moderator attention". Why is this happening and how can I solve this?

If Community ♦ flags something for low quality or because of consecutive closed questions or whatever, I always have to click that the flag was helpful (or declined):      To my understanding, it doesn't make a difference. So, why ask in the first place?

A minor suggestion, but I actually loved having my username there. This would make icon size issues I've seen others complain about simply... go away.  I stole this idea from .

Given , I must say I think the idea (making that user's content visible to only them) is a good one.  However, the people in whose hands that power will be placed terrify me.  Jeff is saying that he doesn't like that bans can degenerate into meta-discussions about the fairness of banning, and in that respect I agree with him. But the meta-discussions do accomplish one thing -- they get more than one person to look at the ban and weigh in on what they think.  This isn't that I don't trust moderators (or, indeed, diamond moderators), but I don't trust any one single human being with an irrevocable and complete banhammer, where there's no potential to dispute things. (And if the user doesn't know they're banned, there's no potential for dispute)  Basically, I'd sleep a lot more soundly at night knowing that if one of these "enhanced bans" are put into place, that at least two people have looked at the "problem child", and only after more than one person has signed off on such a ban, does that go into effect. I don't care exactly what that process is, but I don't want to have to worry about pissing off a moderator and getting banned as a result.  We all get pissed off here -- it's part of any community. But "the nuclear option(s)" need(s) to be decided upon by someone with a cool head, not someone who's pissed off.

starts with      I know that this isn't the first post with this problem, but I am   stuck with this for a day (total, not 1 day in a row). Somehow I can't   get this to work, maybe it is just 1 little adjustment that I need to   make, but I can't seem to find it :(   I'm sure the question , both for immediate answering and for people later having the same kind of problem.  But I'm afraid removing it might be considered rude by the asker as he might see the question with the introduction both more humble and more accorded to his personal writing style (especially in a case where the code follows immediately after this introduction).  Should I proceed and remove this lengthy useless introduction or just not bother ?

I have , and so went to flag it as such, but after clicking "it doesn't belong here, or it is a duplicate" and "off topic," I get the following.    I think the question is more suited to Code-Review than any of the sites listed, but there doesn't seem to be an option to flag the question as "belongs on CodeReview." I am sure there is a good reason for this, and am curious to know what it is.
