Ed/Mods Is There Any Chance You Could.....

.....maybe adjust some posts rather than deleting the whole thing? DD had very good post wiped here:

...just after 14:22. Now leaving aside the determination of what is or isn't libel, most of the post was a positive contribution and I gave it BA. I think it could have been edited and left. What do you think?

I agree - i regard deletion of entire threads as counter-productive, which is why I have never done it.

Debate should be allowed, within the bounds of the Site Rules, and this is not what is happening.

I have raised the issue with the Ed, and I don't imagine I will be the only one.

TTT, mods can’t adjust posts.

Only the ED can edit a post and I would think that even if only an offending comment were removed, it would not stop the poster querying or arguing the rights and wrongs of the comments removal.

As the ED is not normally about at the weekends or in the evenings, it would not be possible to edit an allegedly offending comment during that period.

Is it reasonable to allow it to remain from Friday afternoon until Monday morning?

"Is it reasonable to allow it to remain from Friday afternoon until Monday morning?" As is often the case I have no idea what this is all about but would just say it is Bank Holiday so presume it will be Tuesday before the Ed climbs out of his pit and returns to the coal face? By which time we will no doubt have lost even more members who can't abide this playground nonsense.
