That might seem a weird question—just submit it again—but it turns out that “deleting” a post doesn’t actually delete it. The post just moves to a netherworld where people can view it, link to it, discuss it in the comments etc. but: a) it doesn’t show in the sidebar, b) it doesn’t show in the user’s submitted page, c) it says “deleted” where the poster’s username should be. Editing and saving doesn’t help.
This calamity has just befallen a post of mine that I submitted by mistake, then killed, but people (presumably) saw it in their feeds and started commenting away. Vladimir_Nesov suggests that it’s an okay post and should be resurrected, but I lack the power.
If I’m causing trouble, then sorry for causing trouble.
Is there a way to undelete posts?
