Should we remove "delete" feature for users?

Continuing the discussion from Post deleted by author:

I think we should not allow people to remove content.

Thoughts?

Sometimes it's useful, eg redaction after the fact. But locking a post once it is done means they can't edit.

In that linked instance it's not cool and I think we should try to enforce behaviour by comments, rather than technology.

Make sense.

Should we "undelete" the message then unless a good reason is given?

Can we though?

Yes. I just did it. Have a look again at the thread
