Situation: Someone makes a post asking a question. I spend time answering it. Then the post is deleted.

I can no longer access the post and therefore can not find the author to block them.

What I do have is a link to an empty page.

How do I find the author?

You can tag users, and that tag will then appear next to their username on all their posts and comments.

Of course that won't help retrospectively, but if a user keeps posting and deleting the same thing you can tag them when you notice, and then when they do it again you can see the tag you gave them previously.
