Jul 23, 2011 at 19:44 comment added Lorem Ipsum @Jeff: I agree with you on the users whining part, but you could atleast show posts that are deleted by owner on their respective profiles (visible only to them and mods). Sometimes, people delete their answer because someone else got to it first. However, a code snippet or a link that they had in their answer might come in handy in future, for a different answer. At that point (perhaps a few months later), you might not remember the previous question and but you probably still remember that you had a deleted answer, and hence will be easy to check. Perhaps a deleted tab?
May 22, 2011 at 6:28 comment added Lance Roberts @Jeff, since most all of the undeletion isn't allowed anymore (since you can't undelete what a moderator deletes), it seems like this reason no longer applies.
May 3, 2011 at 11:57 comment added Hendrik Vogt @Jeff: That's fine with me. I was just pointing out that your answer doesn't really give a rationale for why users can't see their deleted questions, so maybe I should flag your answer as "not an answer"? :-) Now your last comment does give a rationale (thanks!), so maybe that comment should go into the answer.
May 3, 2011 at 11:10 comment added Jeff Atwood StaffMod @hendrik it would lead to unbelievable amounts of whining.
May 3, 2011 at 10:59 comment added Hendrik Vogt @Jeff: The question was about showing deleted questions, not about allowing users to undelete. Surely it would be possible showing them without allowing undeletion.
May 1, 2011 at 19:12 comment added Wes At least give them a notification saying why it was deleted.
