- It was deleted for being disrespectful and inciting drama.
- The post attacks the (volunteer) staff members putting time, effort, and money into running these sites, dismissing their efforts because of a perception that the site should take precedence over living a real life. The post states that that should step down as staff members if they cannot make Codidact their top priority, which constitutes a personal attack against, well, the entire team, since pretty much the entire Codidact team has stated that they have other priorities aside from CD.
- That personal attack was quite disrespectful, and rather rude, especially coupled with the request contained within that answer to be appointed CEO of Codidact. (Which, by the way, doesn't exist; Codidact does not and *will* not have a CEO position as far as I am aware.)
- It's also sparking drama, as seen by the comments on the post.
- I deleted it for those reasons, in discussion with other members of the team.
- There's a bug that currently allows the OP to undelete their own posts if it's moderator-deleted; that's an oversight and will be fixed ASAP. That's why it kept getting undeleted and redeleted.
- I'd also like to quote from the [moderator help](https://meta.codidact.com/help/warnings) (available [on GH](https://github.com/codidact/docs/blob/master/User-Help/Moderator-Help/SuspensionGuidance.md) as well):
- > **Breaking the *spirit* of the law is also a problem**. If you have a user who's continuously causing problems within your community, *that's a problem*, even if they're not technically breaking the letter of the law.
- It was deleted with that in mind; even if it's not technically breaking the letter of any current rules, the fact that it's causing problems and drama is an issue in of itself.
- **Update**: The answer has been edited and undeleted.
- The last paragraph - the one calling for staff to step down if they cannot make Codidact their top priority - has been removed, since that constitutes a personal attack against the volunteer Codidact staff. It's also been edited to make it clearer that the person writing the answer is the same person who wrote the original question.
- In its edited state, since it no longer contains personal attacks, the post no longer qualifies for deletion and so has been restored.
