There was a discussion about this article 2 years ago here and here, but I thought it's such an interesting a novel concept full of potential that it's worth a repost.

Quite often, I find that leaving a post up has value. It nukes context for the posts below it, which is bad. It's also not great if only part of a larger post is bad, since you lose all of it. Lastly, with a deleted post, it's unclear if the creator learned from it, or if they removed it to avoid the backlash.
