Sometimes I’ve muted posts when the user says not to vote for them and that they were published by mistake. I understand that anyone can make a mistake, but visually it’s like seeing a stain on the floor. You want to walk over, grab a cloth, and clean it up. It triggers alerts, discomfort, and creates a negative feeling. It’s not just about aesthetics; it shows a lack of care, professionalism, and responsibility from the user. There should be a feature to indicate that a post shouldn’t be voted on and allow the user to mute it themselves when an error occurs. Another thing I’d like to see is the ability for the user to change the community if they posted in the wrong one.
This is interesting, how often does that happen ? Do these users know they can delete their posts (assuming no one voted on it)

Same question, how often does that happen ? It's technically possible but difficult and I'm not sure it's worth the engineering effort.
Like I feel like this is more about teaching users to not mess up than coming up with solutions

It happens all the time, but even if you implement some kind of solution, you cant stop autovtes.
Automute the post by the user is again kind of useless as most of them won't do it anyway, hoping to get a penny or two still.
The other thing, with changing the community after postig, theoretically it's not a bad idea, but it can be abused and those who are willing to do anything for a penny or two, will do it. Imagine posting in Wordmappin, and when they don't get the vote they want, they move it to Photography and so on. Do we really want this? I don't know, this needs to be discussed to see pros and cons.
Yeah also under the hood that would require breaking a lot of things that are set in stone on what makes a post a community post and that's tricky
