Thank you for your insightful comment -and also for your commitment!
I think that this issue - if it is relevant at all - needs to be solved by the developers: for example, by prohibiting to delete posts once the post has received a certain number of comments/upvotes/downvotes, but at the same time still allowing the user name to be removed (which is technically difficult, of course).
If that’s possible (can’t say for sure), then I’d go for that. Anything else would be punishing those who post here in the first place, and I think that should be avoided at all costs.
Everyone should retain sovereignty over their posts, but I think there can be a certain level of interest at which personal posts become somewhat public property. Where that lies can certainly be determined by the community, but it is definitely also a technical question - and probably a difficult one not only but just because of edits to the OP-Post.
