Deletions, Posts and Threads

[LalaMimi]

Is it absolutely necessary to completely delete threads, that do contain sensible dialogue between members?

Which thread(s) are you referring to?

Hi DV

There was a thread started by Jer, about Ramadan.. in the People of the Book section.

I'm afraid the thread was deleted by the Administrator himself after reviewing it. There were too many personal attacks in that thread alone.

Yes, it did drift into a cyber brawl between a couple of members, but there was still some civil discourse, which should have been left and not deleted, it should be taken into consideration that there are always individual posts that do not transgress the rules and regs. I would like to suggest that individual postings, that breach the rules, should be exclusive to deletion - because I think the time, thought and even the effort that each member gives, when writing posts that are making contributions to this forum, ought to be respected, instead of the Admin/Mods practicing collective confiscation of postings.

Good point Mimi

Mimi,

There's no intention to confiscate anything in particular. It's more that it's sometimes a huge amount of trouble to delete a lot of individual posts from a thread. And it can leave the rest looking disjointed, even if it does contain constructive dialogue.

I do see your point though - if in doubt, keep those twitchy fingers away from the delete button
