question for mods about "on topic"
is deleting relatively harmless posts necessary?
per JDs thread? i can understand to some extent the "on topic" thing... but deleting stuff... it's not the end of the world or anything, but it makes conversation kinda tough

agreed. truly stunning move. PERFECTLY good material was just wiped away in the name of staying on a topic that was a mockery of itself to begin with. im amazed. why not just split stuff off at the very least?

Umm.. I was going to pontificate about the possibility of certain parallels in our own legal structure, (as per bluebook laws, and other similar policies) but I'm scared to now...
OMG, entmoot isn't a free country!

just read the rules again
i mod a few boards myself and know how these things go... it's tough keeping things in line... that said, i never delete 'cause it's irreversable maybe in the future we could lock said thread and have the user start over... i personally had stepped out and didn't intend to step back in, seeing as it did not seem possible to fairly address the topic at hand within the limits imposed those are my thoughts

Let me just say this: first, with the new vbulletin, deleted posts are not lost. All mods can see them still and the reasons given for their deletion. Deleted posts can be restored at anytime.
I find the starting of this thread to be totally out of line, however, I am not unwilling to discuss the issue, but as for Entmoot, no, it is not a free country. I made a moderating call and deleted posts at my descretion which is reserved to the rights of the staff. You do not have to agree with it, but it would be nice if you appreciated the job we do.

Entmoot isn't even a country!
Since the post is apparently still on record, if you guys liked it so much, can't SGH just PM it back to inked and have him post it in a thread where it isn't off topic?

i just was offering an alternative solution for the future that might ruffle a few less feathers... and still achieve the same goal obviously, the final decision is yours and i respect it because of your position, whether i agree with it or not
