| Aug 6, 2018 at 13:05 | comment | added | Federico Mod | that's my point. they are useful and should not be deleted. | |

| Aug 6, 2018 at 12:58 | comment | added | Federico Mod | that makes me wonder about why on MSE useful answers get deleted. Here we delete answers that are not useful. | |
| Aug 6, 2018 at 12:15 | comment | added | copper.hat | I find useful on MSE as I mentioned albeit the nature of MSE is different to ASE | |
| Aug 6, 2018 at 5:03 | comment | added | Federico Mod | Apart from the answer you already got, it is generally not useful to see the deleted answers, otherwise they would not get deleted in the first place. Only users with extended moderation tool access can see them, because they need it to use those tools. | |
