The author of the question posted code that he shouldn't have (i.e. wasn't authorized to), then asked to have it taken down.

We really don't like to delete questions with answers, especially upvoted answers. I've upvoted some of your other answers as compensation.

  • \$\begingroup\$ @rolfl I don't normally troll through a user's history to serial-vote. Be assured, though, that I'm still skimming/reading Loki's answers. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ As much as I agree about a little compensation, I think it's mainly his time that was wasted. Hopefully the OP will still benefit from it in some way. \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ @LokiAstari It's just an uncomfortable situation for everyone involved: trouble for the OP, wasted time for you, and discomfort for the moderators for deleting a post we didn't really want to. A few additional upvotes would be therapeutic, and good for the site anyway. \$\endgroup\$

That's the post notice that's always shown with content dispute locks. If there's not already a Meta post about it, then it likely means that the site moderators are discussing the post amongst themselves or with other users in private.

Regarding this particular request, the OP has flagged the post for deletion. Although it has already been deleted, the other moderators and I may decide to undelete it and work out something different.
