Should deleting a post also delete all of its comments?

by UXStackExchange on February 1, 2018 in uxstackexchange

Imagine a website where users can create posts, and other users can comment on these posts. Example: Q/A website, StackOverflow, or Reddit.

Should deleting a post result in:

  • The URL of this post becoming unaccessible (404 or a message)
  • All of its comments being deleted (including from user-comment pages)

or

  • The URL of this post remaining accessible
  • The post itself being censored (removing the author, title (?), text, ..)
  • All of its comments remaining readable (including on user-comment pages)
