I’ve seen this happen a bunch of time now that people just ask a question and it’s deleted a day or so later. Do they delete the question themselves, or is that some automatic thing? If they do it themselves, why?
*edit*
Thanks for the great answers so far. Very insightful. Please keep them coming, I’m curious to more points of view.
If you are talking about posts where people lay out their problems and ask for advice, it is probably to avoid getting doxed.
Ah yes, why didn’t I consider that? That’s indeed very much a possibility.
