For me it falls under a general rule: that moderators tend to give little thought to deleting a short post if it is reported.
Meta used to be the one board that's least likely to have any post deleted.
This forum isn't a pony or unicorn garden. If you ask questions for which you could've found the usually numerous already posted answers yourself, someone might call you out.
Actually, that should happen
more, but signature campaigns make people too eager to respond anyway.
And it helps if you're not a thin-skinned cry-baby, too.
I'm teaching my kids not to give anyone power over them with words. Too many adults still don't understand that
it's a choice.
