I just posted to a dolphin shark question and now I can’t find it . I assume it was deleted but… Can’t we indicate deleted threads like we do moved threads?

Technically, it was moved without a redirect. I don’t think there is any way to indicate that without it still being accessible. **Tuba** will correct me if I’m wrong.

Wouldn’t that still give the person some thrill of satisfaction though? To have the front page filled with their deleted threads? Better to just have it go away.

I agree that it could have been an interesting thread.

I removed the thread. Thanks for understanding.
