I can see this deleted question, but I can see no way to restore it. It's a good enough question with ok answers, but it got deleted for some unknown reason. It would be nice if I could restore this and other deleted questions/answers. Also, when somebody deletes a question/answer, would be nice if you required them to enter a comment (similar to what is done with 1-votes).

I personally think that once the question has received a comment or an answer, it shouldn't be deletable by anyone except the system (after receiving enough reports to trigger an automatic deletion - and that number would be relatively high).

That would work if people stopped posting sarcastic or abusive answers.

In this particular case it's weird that the thread got deleted, unless the OP himself deleted it (assuming the OP can do that). Seems a normal thread to me.

Anyone with suffieicent authority points are able to delete questions, any time they wish.

Well then this particular deletion was certainly uncalled for.
|
|
|
|

I think we should restrict to delete questions which has answers. (Like messages with replies in forums)
|

Repeat of an answer again here[^] for you!

I think in order to delete a question, the "deleter" must have to give a reason for the delete and their name be posted with this reason as well. I have seen some questions with answers that should definitely have been deleted.

I see that a couple people have recommended you add an XNA forum over the years, but XNA has come a long way since then. I think now would be a good time to add an XNA forum. People could just use the Q&A area to ask XNA questions, but I think adding a forum specifically for XNA would help draw some of the XNA community here by showing that XNA is a first class citizen.

XNA is a first class citizen, even when it's third person shooter

I agree. I'd love to see an XNA forum.

For now I'd prefer to be a little more inclusive

Hey guys,
I remember seeing this project on here a while ago, and it was also on CodePlex as well. It was called something like ViperWorks Ignition or something or other, and I was wondering if anyone had seen it, had downloaded or knows where they can download it from.
Thanks in advance for any help!

For anybody looking into this, this is the CodePlex link (no longer works) and this is the Code Project link (says the article was deleted June 10th of 2010). If you guys track reasons for deleted articles, perhaps that would help the OP.
|
|
|
|
|
It's unlikely that the OP will get much joy. The author deleted the article because it fell foul of one of the cardinal article rules; no commercial libraries.
|
|
|
|
|
Perhaps the OP could contact the author to ask for a copy (if we can figure out who the author was).

http://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/List.aspx. There is one place on that page that still says "Javascript" rather than "JavaScript":
Page says: Discussions on AJAX, ASP, HTML, Javascript, etc.
P.S. It would be nice to have an "insert quote" button for posts that are not replies (such as this one).

I deleted the answer but after moving the contents from answer to question. I remember that the image was visible in the question at that time too. When I see now, I can just see the link.
I thought it was a feature added/provided to members to post better view of questions if needed.

Trouble is, with some of the idiots we get here, how long would it be until this site is counted as NSFW?
I have always assumed that images are only allowed in Articles because they are positively moderated, unlike Q&A and the forums.
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

The way I see it images are fine as long as they reside on the CP servers.
That way their links are less likely to break, and the material can be moderated; this could and should work equally well for articles, tips, and questions/answers/forums, but it does not. There is some inconsistency, and probably a bug too.
For non-article images on CP one currently needs the "Upload area" which is available only to some members.
