Deletion Reasons

August 22, 2004 10:57 AM

I know this has been requested before, and I understand that it may be an extremely time-consuming feature, but please, if possible Matt, could you give us reasons for deletion in MeTa and AskMeFi? I really think that it helped in MeFi and will probably help prevent repeated mistakes made in AskMeFi.

"help prevent repeated mistakes made in AskMeFi"

Only if anyone besides MeTalk denizens knows where to look.

yeah, it'd help, I'll be working on this soon for ask mefi at least.

You'd think I was a lot nicer if I could send out cancel messages on mefi like on usenet, when the second thoughts just miss catching up to the posting finger. That [post] button just begs for irretrievable assholery.

Seconded, at least for AskMe.

MeTa is kind of a shit-catch by design, though of course the occasional goatse has to be goneded.
