Following on from here (http://www.deadmen.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?p=209666#post209666), I don't think it's right that we [admins] delete posts unless it blatantly needs to be removed due to content.
Furthermore, I don't think deleted threads should be physically removed - so there's not even the ghost image. Surely a soft delete is fine? and makes it easier for moderation should something arise from it.

For some reason the ability to "hard-delete" threads had been enabled for several groups when it should only have been enabled for the server admin group.
Mods/Supermods should be able to "soft-delete" threads as opposed to "hard-delete" threads.
I don't think it's a particular problem so long as it's not overly-used. It is quite useful for housekeeping and removing old stuff so unless there's a pretty good reason for doing so I would leave it as is on the understanding that it's only used when it's obviously ok so to do.
(Besides - I often write muppet posts and it's nice to get rid of them lol).

Own posts can still be deleted; whole threads cannot
It's also a matter of professional courtesy I guess.

PS. I guess, from reading the other thread, that now this thread is redundant..... it can be deleted I guess.
I changed that few weeks ago. I guess its a mixture of being grumpy and trying to be all things to all people :)
Moderating forums, its a dirty job, but someone has to do it. And BB is doing a dang fine job at it :yahoo:
:withstupid: yup.
He's a good ol' boy all right.
