If someone grants you a right which they are not competent to grant, you do not gain that right. Acting in good faith is mitigation should it turn out that you were acting unlawfully, not carte blanche. | |

| Mar 27, 2018 at 6:42 | comment | added | t3chb0t | #6 I think this is difficult to answer without exactly knowing how moderator tools work because they are lot more powerful then just an ordinary delete. They can delete history in a way that it's not visible to anyone, not even to +10k users and I guess for the exact purpose of protecting confidential code (or other data) mistakenly posted on CR etc. I saw this in action a couple of times. | |
| Mar 27, 2018 at 1:49 | comment | added | Phrancis | @Raystafarian Good question. It's been a long time since there was one of those so I don't remember exactly how it was handled then. As I understand, all posts fall under the same license CC BY-SA 3.0 regardless of their content. By deleting the post(s) though it would limit its exposure to high reputation (10K+ rep) users. It's possible that SE may have made exceptions to this if they received something like a formal complaint letter, but I wouldn't know for sure. | |
| Mar 27, 2018 at 1:16 | comment | added | Raystafarian | In the case of #6 - if the answers were posted and included the same code functionality of the question, are they then published and protected under creative commons? Removing them might be detrimental to a larger population than removing the question. How would you respond to this (if worthy of a response)? (I don't know if SE has a blanket policy or if there are tools available for this specifically.) | |
