Re: Prohibit empty nodes

Do you have an example?

AFAIK you need a minimal number of characters in order to post.

Of course some people erase their content later, but this requires an account.

I stand corrected it's possible now. But I'm pretty sure it wasn't always like that.

Of course some people erase their content later, but this requires an account. What we definitely need is a way to see the previous content when a node gets edited.	[reply]

In most cases, we have it: http://www.perlmonks.com/index.pl?node_id=(nnnnnnn) Spirit of the Monastery	[reply]

I think that works when a node is reaped: For example, I am able to go to Reaped: Re: Crypt::RC5 128-bit?, and then click view the original node and the consideration vote tally. But if `Monk OP'er` creates a post, then removes all content (making it empty), mere mortal monks do not have the ability to look at the node and see what was written there before the edit. Even with Node History via the Approval Nodelet or thru syntax like /?displaytype=edithistory;node_id=1130859, we just see janitorial-type edits, not the edits made by `Monk OP'er`. I believe Anonymonk wanted to see `Monk OP'er`'s changes, somehow. (Even if that's not what this specific AM wanted, I would like that ability.)	[reply] [d/l] [select]
