Now it will be obligatory for the 2nd poster to quote the OP, in case this happens.

This is getting ridiculous - OPs deleting their OPs leaving threads OPless.
In fact, the 2nd poster then automatically assumes the OP position without ever having agreed to it and given the quality of most OPs, the 2nd post is usually a put down of the OP.
Please do something about it.
quoting you. just in case you delete it.
it was not possible before. it's a new horrid feature with v3, which begs the question.

ok, so i asked twice ...
the bunny doesn't delete, he merely gets deleted, as history will show, if not already altered/deleted ...

true, given they don't have much value or sense to start with, BUT the wrong people will be blamed for creating such threads.


Nah, nobody wants to hear what a bunny has to say.
This one's practically a ghost town

If you're the 2nd poster, there's nothing stopping you from deleting your post too.
besides these things don't end well

Hey, it has its advantages
Yes we see 😂 Case in point

Feelings got hurt. Chess.com should not allow op deletions

Exactly. Therefore, the 3rd poster should quote the 2nd person's quote, and the 4th, and so on and so forth. Any other content must be added alongside the quote.

There'll be a long string of quotes with a few lols, hmms, oh, yeah, OK sprinkled in between . Very informative I'm sure.
Common sense is what we forgo
When the site is designed so
As for who is being a real pill
It has to be our own lyudmil
And he can definitely beat your komodo
Ludo had not one but two
Threads that became his waterloo
He started a discussion
But ended with a concussion
As if his engine had tried to pronounce ponnupazoozu
twice i've become a victim to this "feature" as i refuse to pass the buck to the next poster,

this is like disconnecting a game when losing instead of resigning. the op should just ask the mods to delete the thread then.
this opless situation is totally hopeless. do something, chess.com!
