Re: Deletions of Threads and Postings
Just a suggestion - if something in a post offends (not the whole post but a word for example) is it possible for a moderator to edit that word and then add an explanation that a word has been edited and by whom and why, yet leave the post and thread more or less intact.
This has been the accepted proceedure at another forum I visit. Also, if a thread itself is a possible problem they move the whole thread to an administration area (not sure if you have one of those on here) where it can only be seen by "staff" until it is edited to the required/necessary standard and then replaced (a note being left in the open forum to explain the temporary removal and that it will reappear at some future point)
That way the whole discussion isn't lost but the members are made aware of problems.
I fully understand that it is necessary to comply with terms of usage or the whole board could be removed by the host (or whatever you call the board provider - ie not Roy but the source)
