    There is confirmation for deleting a post. I think that whoever is deleting all of these questions is just abusing their privileges.

    Well, thank you for clearing that up for me. And in that case, probably so.

        Hadn't considered that option; would be a dandy feature for the Q&A-forums then? To simply hide that button? As is now, I can see it in Q&A, not in the forums :)

          Today I posted a question about a topic, yet an hour later I received "some comments" and the question was deleted. [RANT] I would actually like that the people who gave comments would like to explain: - why it was not a valid question? - Why they make assumptions instead of asking for clarification? - What was wrong in my post to deserve a downvote and/or complete deleting the post? I got one question stating: "not a question anyway". Real helpful. I don´t mind that I do not receive immediate answer, nor that that my question is not well understood, but now I have a bunch of comments in my mailbox that don´t tie together and no clue what I should improve to make my problem more clear. My question was also not against any rule to my knowledge. I got one "answer" which wasn´t even near to what I meant and which, seeing my question and his answer, I´m sorry to say, proved the person didn´t even read the question right. I appreciate all responses, even the ones not immediately helpful, but if my end is wrong I would like a chance to improve before post is deleted. I checked the persons who commented. All with high reputation marks who seem to answer a lot of questions. I also try to help by answering on occasion, but at least I have the curtesy to allow people to improve. I´m sorry but this just sucks X| [END OF RANT] Sorry had to let that go. I didn´t feel the downvotes or delete was deserved, at all ! Did you get something similar lately ?

            Immediately after "SND CODEZZZZ!!!!" I think the question entry page adds that automatically if your IQ is lower than your shoe size...

                So I see: one 1, one 3 and two 5. Don't take it to heart - I've raised this before but there seem to be a person / some people who are just down voting anything they don't know how to answer (or possibly can't understand). Not a lot we can do except wait for them to get bored. Just ignore it - it's not as if rep points will buy you any new teddy bears! ;)

                  It also happend to me. And it's usually caused because "Coders" on here who are not intelligent enough to understand the question, they then declare the question unclear. And before you know it, your question gets deleted.

                    Something about averaging algorithms :-). It´s not my intention to put this on the map to get an answer, just to ask for a little more understanding in future events :-) (for the community, not for myself)

                    I remember it now, and it looked like a really interesting question. Unfortunately my SQL skills are nowhere near the level needed to answer it.

                    Use the best guess

                      You should only ask questions about movie titles in the appropriate forum! What was the question? If a bunch of judgmental wa people say it was "inappropriate" where you put it, it must be appropriate here, so post it here.
