Re^4: Reap deleted CatQA nodes instead of nuke? (space, undo)

I doubt it will be done, however.
Someone would need to ... implement the reaping mechanism.

Oh ye of little faith! ;-)

I've already demonstrated that much on the dev server. But not:

implement filtering of reaped nodes from all of the several CatQ+A displays

Would that really be necessary? Yes, it would look nicer; but on the other hand, it would be inconsistent with the other sections of the site, which display reaped root nodes, unfilterably.

We're building the house of the future together.

CatQ+A isn't much like the other sections. That is why nuking was allowed there. It makes no sense to me to include a bunch of noise in a section meant to help the relatively inexperienced find answers. - tye	[reply]

O.k., I've done that part on the dev server now as well. What else? We're building the house of the future together.	[reply]

Y'know, I have to say, after going through this exercise, I agree with you that the current implementation of the Q&A section is just crazy; there's no reason it should be so different. I think we should make a new section, cloned from perlquestion, and move the current Q&A content over to it. What do you think? Wouldn't this work about as easily an anything else?
