Ok. I still feel that it would be a good idea if the comment length was limited to 100-150 characters max. Just an idea.

I decided that this question[^] wasn't a good question so I hit delete. the question has now disappeared. (I'm assuming site mods still have some access to it and it's not really fully deleted from the database)
I think perhaps deleting might be better implemented as a softer delete where the question is labelled as deleted but is still visible (possibly only when navigated to directly, and not showing up in the usual search results), and no more answers are accepted, but the deleter is still able to post a message to the OP to explain why the question was deleted.
In this case I have no way of telling the OP how he should improve his question for next time.
Also, perhaps deleting should be a vote based action, requiring consensus from several members before the question is deleted.
(On the same subject, perhaps some guidelines on when 'delete' should be used - was this a good candidate for delete, or should I have just voted down?)

Well, why not just tell about all the issues to user via a comment first and then delete the question? This way, you can convey OP about how to improve the question next time and also delete the current one.

Exactly.

Then there is no way for the OP to respond. The discussion is one way.
And what about if other people disagree with the delete.

Generally, this case of delete's happen with new users or users doing spam. Further, I am not sure what would an OP respond to our comments for such thing. (Might be: 'Ok', 'I will not do it again', etc). As long as the message is conveyed to OP, that should do.

Well, I guess thats why delete is reputation based and enabled for high rep people. It leads to an assumed that the person that has deleting power is sensible enough and would do right thing.

Keith Barrow has identified that this[^] site looks like it's stealing content.

Looks like a total mirror of CP with few features like signing in disabled. I see a law suite coming.

Perhaps this would have been a better place to mention this. I can be really dimwitted sometimes [read often] ............

At least I gave you credit.

This looks like a job for *bleep* sharks with *bleep* laser beams on their heads.
Or at least ill-tempered sea bass.

No, we couldn't afford a decent mad scientist... We had to outsource.

Thanks for bringing it to our attention. The legal hamster wheels are already turning on this one but we may need to mutate the hamsters

Just add some arsenic-organic bacteria to their daily feed.

Just to forward an observation that has been noted.
Specifically in this Q&A entry, the username of the OP contains his email address.
Should the system perhaps have a rule associated with username creation that takes this into account?
I'm actually just forwarding on the suggestion. It was originally made on the provided thread by ManfredRBihy
I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

I'll add a warning to the profile page about email addresses in names.

The comments Here[^] are plagarised from Here[^]
The same user is posting apparently "useful" answers(which aren't when they are actually read against the question):
Here[^]
Here[^]
Here[^]
Here[^]
Or preposterous /semi functional code:
here[^]
plus others.

Yep - thanks. I blame my incredibly laggy connection. Or something...
