It helps maintain user experience and prevents broken links or confusion. Additionally, leaving a redirect is considered good practice in most cases, as it helps with search engine optimization and ensures that any existing links to the thread remain functional. However, it is not always necessary to leave a redirect, hence the inclusion of "almost always" in the answer.Rate this question:
