I can see that discussion has moved a bit from the post I was replying to. And folks have raised the same objections I have.

So in short: please, reconsider deleting closed topics. If you find some posts so egregious they warrant a deletion, remove them but leave the thread.

Well, the thing is, you have to expect that the tone gets harsher if you choose not to reply to a polite version and just delete it because it was in a thread that was conveniently derailed, locked and deleted after an hour.

Wow, are people really doing that? I mean doing that to anyone is bad, but it seems like doing that to a mod is basically asking to be banned. :/

Wait, was someone stupid enough to do that to warrant such warning?

Fair enough. My point is: if you do it, it's tongue in cheek. If someone else does it, it's a conspiracy theory.


Think Sophie's World. I only know the German translation, but basically it says that every coin has two sides. By deleting everything you force people to assume that you act malicious.


The truth is: You don't care about my opinion and I do not care about yours. I was optimistic when I saw a new moderator for the forums, but your actions yesterday destroyed my optimism. And there is no easy way out.

True, and I'll be honest (which will probably get me banned and this thread locked and deleted) but my first thought was that that thread got deleted precisely to cover for that.
