Tell HN: “Troubles at Grooveshark” was deleted by its submitter
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7974727 was posted an hour ago
and quickly went to #1. It's gone now because the submitter has deleted it. We didn't touch
it, and we don'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'd post this as a comment in the thread, but there is no thread.
For the curious, "deleted" is like "dead" except users can't see it, even when they have "showdead" 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 "[dead]", and those are always visible if you have "showdead" turned on.
