Hi Jiskha!
I was wondering why I see answers from people like:
Ms. T and Alica Cunn
And 5 minutes later there are gone! Why did that happen? Can I do that too? Thanks!
Aimme
Those answers were deleted because they were either duplicate posts or not correct.
And no, only a few of the tutors have administrative tools.
Oh okay, i saw one post and it was correct because I checked it out, why was that one deleted?
If the question is correctly answered by a tutor, then no other posts are needed.
well that makes sense but there were no other posts other than the person who posted it. So why was it deleted?
Hello Aimme! It seems like you are referring to answers from specific users, such as Ms. T and Alica Cunn, that disappear after some time. There could be a few reasons why this happens:
1. Deletion by the user: Sometimes, users themselves may delete their answers due to various reasons such as realizing they made a mistake, feeling unsure about the accuracy of their answer, or simply changing their mind.
2. Moderation: Jiskha's platform may have moderation policies in place to ensure the quality of answers. If an answer does not meet the community guidelines or contains inappropriate content, it may be removed by the moderators.
3. Time limit: There could be a time limit set for answers, where they automatically get removed after a certain period. This time limit could be implemented to keep the information up-to-date or to allow space for new answers.
Regarding your ability to do the same, it depends on the platform's policies. You may need to check the guidelines or contact the moderators/administrators to determine if you have the ability to delete your own answers or if there are any specific rules regarding answer removal.
Remember, it's always a good practice to provide accurate and helpful answers whenever possible.
