I'm not one to "dirty delete, myself. I never do it, and really never have. From Facebook, through Twitter, Reddit and now here, it's just... Not something I do.

Unless I'm getting dogpiled to the point of a doxxing attempt (Twitter, Reddit, Facebook), I accidentally double-post/comment or a link doesn't work, or I am so glaringly wrong about something that it simply isn't worth it being there anymore, I just... Don't do it. Not posts. Not comments. And certainly not messages. I fucking hate women (and in my experience it is nearly always women) who do that in "private" messages/chats/whatever. It really pisses me off. Which is something.

I'm 100% sure that this has made me lose some "friendships" (again, on those other sites. Particularly the compulsorily non-anonymous one), and it has left me in some... Dubious positions. But I simply won't do it.

I sometimes (usually) admit when I am wrong, or made a mistake. Or else, I just let the thread go dead. Like if I just... Don't have time or energy to deal with it.

I realise that my... Philosophy, here, is not for everyone. I'm not claiming some sort of "moral high ground". But I will say that people's deleting of their comments here (and also posts) does get pretty frustrating and annoying, at times. Particularly as we don't have any way to see what was said, after it is gone. I'm not sure if it is getting worse or better, but it certainly doesn't seem to have improved, lol.

Some sort of "archiving" or "snapshot" system, a la the Reddit sites that I listed, would be fantastic. Game-changing, even. If someone could develop the code for it, and the site allowed it.

Controversial? Sure, but we're (theoretically) anonymous anyway, and even with those Reddit versions, it didn't save everything, and if you made a mistake and deleted it quick enough, it generally didn't save/make it to archive...

But I do think it would make a huge difference, cut down on spam, and on the "dirty delete" shit I just outlined...

Thoughts?
