Bug Description
Recently I posted one idea on brainstorm (#8891) but the text is longer than it shows. The middle of the text is missing, so it shows the beginning and the end only :-( this makes my idea non-sense invalidating it. It feels like I've written it wrongly to the reading users even more when one checks my ideas and see that one of them was "deleted".
So I have a personal problem and the system has a problem too. This idea is there to fix the other one I've posted before (#8890) but with no success (I did it because I could not find where to reedit my ideas! I still don't know! (please, no bad words, ok ?) ). Where is it possible to edit a posted idea ?
1. Could you please remove my idea (both) instead of showing it as deleted ?
2. Please fix the bug in the interpreter I guess this was caused by the ASCII I have drawn there.
I really want my idea to be posted but I will not write the original text here because maybe here will have the same bug. If you remove my ideas with corrupted text I may try to figure out a way to post it again bugfreely while you don't solve it permanently and post again something.
Thanks.

Hi!
I have take a look at your idea, and I know what's wrong and why half of your idea is cut : it's because of the "<" and ">". At the moment, Brainstorm will check all HTML tags and remove the fordibben ones.
Unfortunately you have put some "<" and ">" in your idea, and this is treated as HTML.
The solution for your idea is to remove your "<",">" or replace them with their HTML entities counterpart : < and >
A final solution for us would be to put a better text submission form, with WYSIWYG.
Finally, you can edit your idea by clicking on the pencil, at the right of the word "description".
