Then how do you explain the OP being able to delete node contents and node title?

The house rules allow it

"being able to delete" - you mean edit. And using the edit feature to delete contents is frowned upon too. Sometimes the mods will even manually restore content deleted in this way. Example

"being able to delete" - you mean edit.

Yes, of course, thats what we've been talking about, when the text that used to be there is gone, delete is a good way to describe it

Originally OP just blanked out the node title and contents, then LanX considered it, then op updated with the curent contents Sorry I wanted to delete it

Yes, thats what the FAQ item you linked and quoted talks about, but its says "should" not "must"

They restore contents when there are replies, when replies exist, when monks respond to the question being asked

There are no replies regarding the question that used to be here that now needs restoring

here is my example, the author ikegami considered his own node for deletion Reaped: Re: Undefined value as a symbol reference. There are no replies to it, and it was deleted

Another author request for deletion for misreading it Reaped: Re:Ignore/delete

and another by author LanX considered by LanX: plz delete Reaped: deleted

So there you have it, its allowed to honor the request of an OP to reap the node hes blanked out before it has replies, should is not must, its allowed to honor the request
