I regularly notice how some people simply delete their post because they don’t like the way people are answering to it. It’s fine they don’t like those answers, it’s not fair they are given the power to mute them.
I find that behavior annoying. Not because someone deletes their post. I mean, they’re free to do whatever they want, but because by doing so they also render the entire discussion unavailable.
Like if all the other participants were submitted to their whims.
Imho, a solution could be to let people delete their post but not the technical-something-whatever that made their post accessible to read and to answer. And so, no matter how shy or regretful the OP could ever be, people that have answered would not be dependent on their willingness to let them speak. And even if the OP was deleted other people would still be able to read the comments and maybe keep on discussing without te OP being involved.
