While this is news to me, I knew nothing about it.
An individual cannot delet an entire thread unless they are a Mod on that Site.
An individual cannot even delet the post they made unless a Mod on that thread. They can edit it for contnet only.
As a Mod, I never delet a thread unless it is spaming or the original poster as me to. But here again, as a Mod, I can only do that if on one of my threads.
I have been asked to do this and had to defer to John and have him do it.
If there has been a serious problem in one of my site threads, I try to get some input from the other Mods be for so doing. I think that might be the best tact to take instead of someone just deleating a thread at a whim.
This has caused nothing but problems and some anger. I as a Mod apologize for this happening.
I too would like to know who and why. I hope this is not the first step to lets burn the books that we do not like!
