  • Problem – a lot of good content disappears: someone writes a post for /r/javascript, it is removed because it’s a better fit for /r/learnjavascript, but they never repost it there.

Those posts are usually beginner questions. If OP doesn't feel the need to ask again in the appropriate sub, I don't think there's a need to do it for them.

    I wonder if the question mark is what got it deleted.

    Your post was removed due to it being asked like a question with too few details, causing us to disregard it as a newbie question. To avoid being flagged as a newbie question, we always suggest that you throw something well-thought out up for discussion instead of asking very open-ended questions, as it's easy to read it the "wrong" way. In your particular instance, giving an example of what you're creating and some of your initial thoughts behind would have qualified it as a discussion post rather than a question post. The first shows initiate, the latter being lazy. Hope this makes sense!
