Back in 2018, it was known to many that newbies who create a self-moderated topic expect to see only the answers they need in their topic. It was one of the red flags. Strangely, the OP doesn't know about this.
For your information, i know about it. Don't know why you people not understanding my point of view. To be clear, i mean to say wouldn't it be good if the self moderated threads posts won't be allowed to delete by the thread starter after certain time (3 months or 6 months) to prevent these types of ambiguity or potential scams.
Your question has been discussed several times, and it has been proven many times that if you see a topic that can be further moderated if you are not sure that everything will be okay with your posts, do not trust it.
Moreover, you were aware of such open topics. What more do you want? Have you forgotten that the forum welcomes freedom? By prohibiting the deletion of posts from such threads over time, doesn't this violate the very idea of creating self-moderation?
There is always a choice. And your choice, since you knew about it, was to write there, no matter what.
I've added it to my Todo list.
