Post deletion and resulting collateral damage

@wazroth

I don’t recall offhand what happens to the children of author-deleted posts? Do they stay?

They do. Otherwise, we would be allowing users to delete the posts of others, which would be uncool.

@wazroth

I think @orenwolf means that mod-deletion of the offending post triggers a deletion notification to that user.

Correct, sorry for the confusion. If a post is flagged then removed, it triggers a notification (but not for child replies (“collateral damage”), which is the issue IMHO).
