Title: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=7974727 was posted an hour ago
and quickly went to #1. It&#x27;s gone now because the submitter has deleted it. We didn&#x27;t touch
it, and we don&#x27;t know who wrote it or whether it was true. Since the
post would otherwise be at #1, I thought some people might be wondering. Normally I&#x27;d post this as a comment in the thread, but there is no thread.<p>For the curious, &quot;deleted&quot; is like &quot;dead&quot; except users can&#x27;t see it, even when they have &quot;showdead&quot; turned on. We never delete posts, except on rare occasions when users have a good reason for asking us to. The most we ever do as moderators is make a post &quot;[dead]&quot;, and those are always visible if you have &quot;showdead&quot; turned on.
