Other persons wiped out some branches of my family trer
Did I read a pop up that no one can edit or delete any info from my tree any more? I have one branch of my family wiped completely out by another person with no legit discussion or sources to explain why. I’m been very upset and left FamilySearch because of this. When I came back to it, I read that others can no longer do that. If that’s truly the case, I’ll return to using FamilySearch. I do use the discussion tab and I insist others use it if they felt the need to edit my info. Thank you

Thank you for your contacting us about your concern. I am posting 2 links that cover your issues. However, I personally recommend keeping a backup of all your information. I also recommend that you use FamilySearch. You have access to others that can help and a lot of free information.
Someone can still edit information But you can look at the changes and change it back and contact the person that made the changes so you can work with them to get the best information for your family. Please read the links below.
However, no one can delete a person unless there the one that put added them and no editing has been done.
How do I see what changes were made about a person in Family Tree
How do I remove Vitals information in Family Tree
How do I delete a person from Family Tree?

On FamilySearch's Family Tree, the only reason nobody can do anything to "your tree" is that it doesn't exist. You don't have a separate tree here. None of us do. It's a single, collaborative family tree, with the goal of having one and only one profile per deceased person.
I don't know what you saw that made you think there had been a change; there has not been one. My analogy is that the library has not suddenly become a bookstore.
Yes, a collaborative tree has the potential of people making undesired, incorrect or unsupported changes to profiles that you care about. The good news is that you can undo those changes: everything is saved in the Change Log for each profile.

If Parent-Child relationships were changed, people and trees could be pruned off, but you could go back to the person who's still connected and look at the changes.
