Okay, now I see that the point was about

Old Post

On the topic of "policies" on policies, answer posts to What is the network policy regarding AI Generated content? got deleted with a staff comment saying:

Deleting this because we don't typically host answers on policy posts, if you wish you can create a new question on MSE for it.

Which is... strange. Like- where's the precedent?

Update: Okay, now I see that the point was about the tag and not about the tag, and this is true. Answers under questions are locked to staff answers only.

Here's the original content of my post, which is misguided (in a somewhat literal sense, since the deletion comment didn't point to the tag):

If you plug [policy] is:q [discussion] answers:0 closed:no into the search bar, right now, there are six results, and none of those are posted by users who currently have a staff tag. Compare that with [policy] is:q [discussion] answers:1.. closed:no, which turns up results including:

And on MSO:

Even more mind-bending is that the post is locked with the following message (emphasis added):

This question is locked because it is an official policy or communication and can only be edited by staff. It is still accepting answers, comments, and other interactions.

And it's tagged .

Another weird thing: all the three examples I listed above put the policy information in the question post, whereas What is the network policy regarding AI Generated content? chose to self-answer. So if anything, isn't that policy Q&A the one that's breaking precedent?

And the self-answer actually even fails to answer its own question, which asks "Stack Exchange released guidance to moderators on how to moderate AI Generated content. What does this guidance include?", and then gives an answer about what the policy excludes, but not what it includes...

Another related question post: Should dissenting answers on new policy posts be deleted by staff?
