Transparent post deletion

This can be done today in a theme component if one wishes. I know 100% that @codinghorror would be 100% against, by default, popping up a JIT every time an admin hits the delete button.

A JIT on every delete would heavily discourage admins and mods from pruning the garden cause there is constant added friction.

Quick mockup as a non-blocking reminder - thoughts?

Pop the composer filled with a DM to the person, official warning = yes.

(obviously the post itself would have a red background too from the moderator just now deleting it, I don’t have a test instance anymore to use for this!)

Unless we can include the original deleted message it’s not going to be particularly helpful.

Are we expecting the user to remember all of their posts in the topic and identify which was removed?

If it does include the original message then we’re still talking about rebranding delete as ‘move to PM’.

If it is a theme component that is fine but I would not ship this by default.

I also think that this added friction is not necessary and neither does it make sure that people get notified. There should be friction for not sending a notification, not the other way around.

After following a few links, I am now learning that there isn’t by default a notification sent to people having one of their post deleted !?? (even if no reason is given). Personally, I find it disrespectful towards them (let’s say it’s only my opinion).

Friction will be far higher when the users notice some of their posts have been deleted. And some will inevitably notice at one point. Then they will ask themselves how many posts have been deleted. They will get angry, and especially angry to not even have been informed. This is the moment where the supposed “friction” of friendly notices will appear in retrospect as a really good idea :wink:

Quelques retours d’utilisateurs. Cela m’est arrivé pour la première fois. C’était dans un fil où le message avait été signalé par la communauté et j’ai reçu une notification à ce sujet, mais lorsque j’ai cliqué sur le lien de la notification vers mon message, cela m’a emmené au message qui suivait le mien. Le mien avait disparu et maintenant le fil manque de contexte. Cela signifie-t-il qu’un administrateur a supprimé un enregistrement de la base de données sous-jacente ou l’interface utilisateur permet-elle de telles suppressions floues ? Merci pour vos réponses.

Ce dernier cas. C’est ce dont traite ce sujet. Aucune donnée n’est supprimée de la base de données, donc votre message est toujours « là », il n’est tout simplement pas affiché.
