Re: Deletions of Threads and Postings
Some of us weren't so much concerned about having lost something as not knowing in particular if something we'd said had contributed towards the reason for its removal. On the basis that if we don't know we've said something we shouldn't then we could easily end up making the same innocent mistake again. If we know what we shouldn't have said then we can avoid saying it.
As an administrator of a (now sadly defunct) message board I must say that we found an admin area extremely useful for temporary "docking" of possible problem threads and for discussion amongst moderators as to what was and was not acceptable. A private word to those whose posts had caused the problem usually avoided any further difficulties. Edited threads were often replaced back in the open forums.
