Sorry! I've never seen a thread about it before.

But what is the answer?

and why do people keep ASKING THIS QUESTION?????

Because maybe they aren't on The Dis 24/7 and have never seen a thread asking this before?

I think it's funny ~ because it just makes me scroll through until I find someone who quoted them.... so I can see why they felt it was necessary to delete it.

THAT'S the answer to the FIRST question!!

Answers:

Because they can only edit their OWN post

Because it's the only thing they can control.

Because they wanted to

Because they did

OK, now I have to go look for the thread with the deleted post & see what I missed!

That's exactly what I thought!

Well, maybe its not for people on the DIS. Maybe they delete it in case someone in their personal life comes across it, and isn't familiar with 'the rule' - and might not scroll down if there is no first post to look into.

When I see a locked thread and I usually start at the last page and read backwards. I know, its evil, but its also human nature to be noisy.

I don't think many times they realize that even if they delete it, the quotes don't change.

We're all evil...

Found the thread!!

I don't understand it either.

If they suddenly have a quick change of heart and can catch it before someone else quotes them, then fine. Although I'm always still curious about what they deleted.

But if someone, or more than one, have already quoted their original post, when I don't see any point in it. It just makes the OP look like the "I'll take my ball and go home" type of person, or they can't handle others disagreeing with their point of view.
