I am not that powerful. But PM me and I can have it taken care of.

I didnt know that there were so many complainers about self-deleting threads

That's standard for any message board though.

I actually agree with you on this.

i don't know. . . i don't have any big, long-winded explanation. . . it's just what i think. . . your creation, your right to delete it. . . . there have been several times over the years where i've spent a considerable amount of time writing an opening post for a thread, and knuckleheads have turned it into shit either by posting a bunch of lame jokes, or by getting into an off-topic pissing match/flame war. . . in that circumstance, i feel like i should reserve the right to delete it rather than having to hope the mods will do so. . .

My thoughts exactly dog.

Eh, I guess. I'm just saying if I start a thread and it begins to suck because people ruin it, I should have the right to get rid of it -- especially in the cases where the moderators certainly aren't helping the thread -- or in past cases (which there have been numerous) actually making the thread worse by contributing to the naughty nature.

If you noticed, just because you deleted the thread, it didn't go away. Someone else started a thread wondering what happened and that same subject was still discussed.

I think that's the first time I had seen that happen on this board, where
another thread is started about the previous thread. It was inappropriate to
start such a thread about what one perceived a mod's action in that
particular forum. A PM to a mod would probably have gotten the information
that person was looking for.

I do believe Getlynched followed the proper course of action, though, on a
thread based on erroneous sources. It would be hard to "clean" up such a
thread, and his intent was for the good of the board.
