What does This message was self-deleted by its author mean

[Groundhawg]

3. Just that they changed their mind about their post.

4. It means that the poster deleted their own post and there is no DU disciplinary action

involved. Some of us self-delete and some of us do an edit but we won't get banned for
that.

12. Sometimes my post is on twice. So I delete one.

Sometimes one might think that what I wrote wasn’t exactly what I meant.

Sometimes one might decide I don’t have time to get in a circular argument with someone who doesn’t agree with me or I them.
