Noticed that quite a few posts have been deleted this evening.

True, strictly speaking some posts will have gone off the subject of the thread title, and thus they did break forum rules, and therefore they can quite rightly be deleted.

However, I could point out thousands of similar posts on the forum, which have also veered off topic, but they remain on site.

Some of the deleted posts may have exhibited, or at least attempted a stab at humour.

Is this seen as going off thread?

Might be an idea if the reasons why some posts are deleted, and some aren't, are given. Then hopefully people will know how to avoid this happening.

If arbitrary deletion, in which some posts are deleted, and similar posts remain untouched, continues, it might deter some people from bothering to post at all, because it becomes a bit of a lottery if their post does, or doesn't remain.

Which would result in the forum becoming very sluggish, in my opinion.
