deleted threads
Apparently asking why a thread got deleted is a violation of TOS.... Clowns.
Forum Discussion
Ha ha yes, sometimes we all need saving from ourselves!
But its why I dislike thread deletion so much, especially if there are multiple contributors, as its not just the OP or offender that are effected. There are the other posters in the thread to consider. Even if its a silly throwaway comment.
If someone is spamming the forum, fine delete it. There is obviously no need to pm people in those cases. But almost all the time locking athread is a better option, it'll just drop down the list in no time at all and everyone knows where they stand. No confusion, no frustration and it also serves as a notice to others not to do it.
