I have noticed this is occuring more and more. It is a problem that started to crop up on reddit but now I’m seeing here more often. Do you not want other people to benefit from the answers you received? This community is kind of pointless if you just get an answer and wipe it from the web.

    What would really help is a way to disable replies… (Edit: meant the notifications)

    I don’t make posts here, but I’ve hesitated posting big news articles before, because people keep making top level comments days/weeks later and they keep coming in as notifications.

    Some people on here desperately feel the need to reply back to every notification, so I’m assuming a lot of the deletes are just people who feel satisfied with the answers they already got

      I’m against disabling replies entirely, but for disabling notifications. Once a post is out there and other people are participating in the conversation, it’s not just yours anymore.
