Migration of MSO links to MSE links
Jan 31, 2012 at 16:30 comment added slhck That's true – it's not really consistent this way, considering this as well.
Jan 31, 2012 at 16:17 comment added Daniel Beck Mod Another issue: You simply expect all posts in Peer Pressure/Disciplines to be deleted (they can be undeleted, but, come on...), while the other post badges are for questions that are interesting or considered good by a lot of users. The assumption is that they aren't regularly deleted. It just happened here, with the redefinition of what's an acceptable question over time.
Jan 28, 2012 at 19:59 comment added Daniel Beck Mod Sorry, confused it with Peer Pressure, which is -3 and behaves identically. Good question about the Disciplined badge. Probably since they are both similar and therefore share the implementation.
Jan 28, 2012 at 19:32 comment added slhck Regarding searching for deleted posts, it still makes sense in fighting spam. Searching for deleted content would just help make a better case. And I don't believe someone with ≥20k would just badmouth a user if it wasn't for any active (non-deleted) posts. But well, everything can happen, of course. I'll agree with your last sentence though. Maybe it would even be a signpost for: "If you post these answers to super-popular off-topic questions, they'll be deleted anyway" :P
Jan 28, 2012 at 19:30 comment added slhck You have a point with not removing badges. If it's been like this, then it should stay. One could argue though how many Disciplined posts actually fall under those categories you mentioned. At least they had a score of 3 or higher.
Jan 28, 2012 at 19:26 comment added Daniel Beck Mod I mean, imagine you were able to search for swear words, spam, or hate speech indicators, and compiled and published a list of the users and their posts. Or user:22317 deleted:1 if you're interested in badmouthing a specific person. That's a shit storm right at the horizon. In contrast, what's the worst that can happen to recipients of a positive badge for a deleted posts?
Jan 28, 2012 at 19:23 comment added Daniel Beck Mod It's policy to not remove previously awarded badges. And here's the difference between Disciplined and Great Answer: The posts that earned the latter were really popular, and only ever deleted because the content became subjective or off topic due to site content policy changes. It's not like these users need to embarrassed about these posts (except for getting the badge for posting "Firefox" or "7zip"). This simply does not apply to the majority of deleted posts, that are inappropriate, spam, hate speech, wrong, etc.; including presumably many of those that earned the Disciplined badge.
