In the faq it says that we need to delete published answers
After some researches I found these two questions:
where the community votes to delete the answers in sandbox after publishing:
But in reality a lot of people keep their answers in sandbox after publishing and everyone does it: low-reputed, high-reputed, moderator, etc.
Do not misunderstand me. I'm not blaming anyone, I'm just wondering what is the reason for this behavior? Because when the question is raised about whether answers should be deleted, almost everyone votes for "It needs to be deleted", and then they don't delete them so I'm little confused :)
I also found this question Are we still deleting sandbox posts? where we can see two diametrically opposed answers. Both of them have almost same count of votes which means that the community in general supports both
In my mind we have two options:
- Change the rules
- Follow the rules
I understand that they are again two diametrically opposed options. But I think that we need statistic about how many users follow the rules and how many users doesn't. After that, we will not "choose" which is more correct, but obey the statistics (i.e. the majority)
