I asked a question that is a month old, is it okay to delete?

Deleted posts count against a post ban. This is not a good idea. Better to respond, and maybe update with what versions you have this issue with.

Please undelete and preserve 'How do you edit the name of a bookmark? (MS Word 2013)'?

Maybe. But consider why it was deleted. There's close to zero effort on actually writing the question. If those two links go down, we'll never ever know what didn't work. Links should supplement a q …

Moab isn't a moderator. I do know all the moderators and can assure you none of them work for McAfee, as far as I know I feel like you're looking at the wrong comment - anti virus software tends to be …

Electrostatic Discharge got deleted and reputation from the answers disappeared

I've undeleted the question tho I would leave it to the community to decide if it should be on hold. That said, it's an unexceptional question, bordering on terrible, with exceptional answers. It kin …

Dealing with low-quality questions that end up on Hot Network Questions

I've often commented on chat that "HNQs seem to straddle the line between the septic tank and greatness" - well not exactly but various things to that effect. I came across a situation where a fairly …

Flag was declined but the question was deleted all the same

SF deleted it when I checked. No action was needed on SU. As such, no moderator intervention was needed While I do sometimes mark flags of that sort as valid, I usually take into account a few thi …

Why was this question deleted instead of closed?
