This is not facebook. Facebook lets you "remove from view" any post of yours you want. If you believe you are really deleting content from facebook when you click "delete", then you are way too gullible. For example delete your account, and then login again. The account is not really deleted, but just removed from view until you decide you want to log back in again, then is put back into view. And i am sure that content on facebook is logged, and deleted messages are also logged, just removed from view of yourself.
However this site just doesnt allow you to remove it from view from yourself. Thats really the only difference. No one on the internet deletes content. Content is profitable. Profitable to us as status, whereas facebook probably sells your PM's to companies. They are not going to delete content that they can sell and make money off of.
Content for us is valuable because everyone asks the same question over time when learning to program. When they enter that question to Google and we dont have a thread pertaining to that, then that could put us at a lower ranking. Content means a user can search our site and find his answer without posting a new question.
Of course if that person is trolling, then the thread will of course be removed....but that user as well will be removed too. We have had trolls in the past. Their content is no longer here, their account is banned, and their IP address(s) are banned permanently now.
As a whole, the team members here have agreed to users not deleting posts, threads, or their accounts upon their own will. They can of course request it, but the chances are null. There really needs to be a reason why the content should be deleted besides the author just wanting to remove his tracks of progress in learning programming.
If you don't like the rules, then don't post here.
