RF Survey -- Thread #2

[Debater Slayer]

As part of some potential changes (nothing guaranteed yet, however, as this project is still in the survey stage), would you use a forum feature that allowed you to request in Site Feedback that you be sent a copy of a post that you made in a deleted thread?

To be specific, rule-violating posts wouldn't be available to have as a copy, but if, say, you made a post and then the whole thread got deleted, you would then be able to post in Site Feedback in case you wanted to have a copy of the post instead of potentially typing it again elsewhere.

Please share your thoughts on this potential option.

I'd like that.

 

[Deeje]

Sounds useful. Especially if a lot of effort went into the deleted post and the deletion of the thread was not your fault.

 

[crossfire]

Well yes, that should be a given.

Wouldn't another option be to delete the offending posts but leave the thread, locked, (even with a title change if necessary), so that posts can still be searched for by interested parties? Or is it too much moderation work to delete individual posts?

It's not a big deal but it would be a nice feature.

 

[nPeace]

Yes.

 

[Revoltingest]

The important thing is proper terminology.
A deleted post or thread is a "poofed" post or thread.

Sounds good, to me!
