Title: Show time when an old post is deleted?
Post by: jackg on April 01, 2020, 06:29:39 PM
I had an old post deleted on a self mod topic and I'm not sure when it was posted, it looks like the old style of what I'd post while very early on here (bit more like the linguistics of 16 year old me)...

Anyone else think it'd be helpful to receive the time a post was posted in the deleted post message?

I support the idea.

if the deleted post contains another post quoted inside it, the date of the quoted post would appear but if your post had no quotes - the date-time doesn't show, which is a bit annoying.

On a side note, I had a dozen of my posts deleted today, I guess for the same reason yours was (Mining related).

Yeah mine was mining related... Not entirely sure why, maybe an user just trashed all their threads at once or something.

Did you see a time on any of yours?

I think the topic below is the topic you are talking about.

I had like 40 or more posts deleted, those that had quoted posts did show the time and those that didn't - did not, so my guess is that your post did not contain any quotations.

As partially explained by hosseinimr93, phill deleted a few topics of his, I think that was his way of "protesting" against what he considered a bad joke (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5236947.msg54137071#msg54137071).

I put a ton of effort into those posts, I do feel bad for seeing them go away, but I totally understand how phill feels about this "joke" especially that it's directly affecting him and his family, so I don't blame him.
