I’m getting annoyed with people that ask a question, have the community answer their question and troubleshoot over several days, only to delete their post and the solution.

The person asking the question is often providing the least amount of effort, so why should they have exclusive right to delete the contributions of others?

Possible fix: have a per-community option to only request deletion.

    The default behavior drives me crazy because EVERY comments in a chain gets deleted if the first commenter deletes theirs

      I guess it’s difficult to do in a way where people can exercise their right to be forgotten if the post or comments contain information about OP in any way.

        Not really, reddit did it fine. It shows [removed by user] posted by [deleted] and the chain stays in tact.
