We need to allow someone to edit a question, and so if we stop them deleting it, they can still simply edit and blank it out.
But yes, it's annoying. I'd say if someone is a serial asker-and-deleter we simply ask them to leave. It's anti-social.

I'm with you, but my immediate problem is that since I deleted the notifications/emails I have no way of finding OP's identity. So I can't even dob him in!

It costs a bit of storage, but it could keep versions, like Articles, etc.

The top sticky says "For WinRT discussions please see "Windows API and WinRT"". This is no longer the case as WinRT has been moved. Similarly, the link inside takes you to the Windows API, which is not the right place - it should go here[^].

In a forum post, when hovering over one of the voting options (1-5), the little orange box that appears around them is sometimes missing its left side and sometimes one of the sides will leave a remnant after moving to a different number.

I'm assuming you've scaled down to 90%? It's a Chrome rendering issue.

Ah, I had forgotten about that. My apologies.

So, you're saying I should submit this site bug to Google?

1. "- Uncategorised posts -" is the only section with a two-line description. Expand the Forum column width to fit "Windows 8, WinRT & Metro", "Collaboration / Beta Testing", and "The Weird and The Wonderful".
2. In the Last Post column, align the times together using an extra space for 0-9 hours. This should allow you to align and center that column. Also, the width is wider than it needs to be. For alignment, I guess a fixed size font is needed. Hmmmm!
3. Five descriptions end with a period, the rest do not. Minus a few other punctuation marks. Needs consistency.
4. Is this everything listed? I thought we had a Tips and Tricks forum as well?

1. Make your window narrower and lots have 2-line descriptions / Sure
2. " align the times together using an extra space for 0-9 hours." This won't work because it's not a fixed-width font. The only thing to do is split into 2 columns.
3. 1 of those is because it's an abbreviation. They are now consistent, but in the wrong way. You do realise if you collected all 5 you get a prize?
4. Yes, everything's listed. Everything still active.

1. Looking at the rest, there's still enough room to shrink that column without making another two-line row. Or at least it would fix a few of them.
2. Yeah, I realized that after typing it in. But it would be nice to have that format in our Reputation Page.
3. Woohoo!
4. Ahh! Did not know that. So you pulled off the Metro look, but did the Google spring cleaning for some. RIP our unknown pages!

Beautiful man, just beautiful! You can change my thread to fixed now.
Edit:
The Reps page could use the date tweak.

I thought about posting this on the Spam/Abuse Forum, but decided that since it's a more general question (doesn't fit, in my perceptions, with the other types of Posts there), to post it here.
I carefully examined the QA section of the CP FAQ before deciding to write this, but it contains no guidelines, on "Answering," or on answering appropriate, and inappropriate, behavior.
So, the question is: is it "okay" for someone who answers a question to ask the user to accept their answer, either in their answer, or in a comment they make on their own answer, even if that's done in a slightly indirect way ?
Just curious if that would be considered "abuse" ?
thanks, Bill

I think a gentle hint along the lines of
If this answers your question, please mark it accepted. Vote anyway. is OK. (I'd better think it's OK - I used to use it almost as a sig in Q&A.) But I can see why anything more demanding would give offence.
I was somewhat p****ed off this morning by a noob. (At least I think it was, the evidence is gone now.) Late last night my time he asked a "why does this blow up" question with a 50-odd line chunk of code in it and the error message. So far so good.
I spotted a probem about 10 lines from the top, and pointed it out in a comment. My intention was to convert the comment to an answer if it looked OK in the light of day, and any received comments.
I received two comments (according to the emails), one saying "good one. convert to solution" and the other from OP saying "that was it. solved"
OP then DELETED the question (with comments) so it can't go down as solved.

Peter

Perhaps there should be a set of conditions where the OP is allowed to delete the question. If not met, they can only request it be deleted by someone with sufficient "authority". I don't know what the conditions should be...

This issue of "when can user author/OP delete," is off-topic from the original post on this thread (no big deal), but I do think the issue you raise is interesting, important, and, I would suggest that you raise this issue yourself, as a top-level original post here on this forum.
I will certainly respond with several thoughts, and ideas on this issue based on my experiences with other Forums, as well my long involvement with CP.
So, while there's no absolute promise made here, you've got good odds such a thread will get at least one five vote (mine) 
best, Bill

Hi Peter, May I ask why you stopped using this phrase ?

 Getting lazy in my old age. I still drag it out occasionally, particularly if I've put a fair bit of effort into the answer. If I could set it up as a one-click boilerplate I would use it on a routine basis. (Now OG's going to remind us about how his canned messages work.  )
