Can moderators totally delete a thread?

I think I know what thread to which you refer. I checked it at 4:30 and when I got home at 6:45 it was gone, and it wasn't in my subscription either. I think it was good that it got deleted. Of course I can't help but wonder what was said to get it deleted....and don't worry mods., I'm not planning on starting anything.

People may have reported the thread. If enough people did that, that could have done it too. It was a nasty thread.

Why don't you come cheer for us!

I'm usually on the PMS thread...less likely to get in trouble there. Or should I say--I get in trouble, but no more than the other troublemakers who are there. Stop by and say "hi". We're nice.

OK, we're going to get in trouble for hijacking....but I did sign up to be an audience member, and I've been meaning to ask you what team you're on...and I see it in your siggie. If they let you cheer for more than one team (and I think they do), I'll be cheering for your team too! (I know a few people on the Meets team, since I've been posting over there a lot lately).

Missy, yes, you can cheer for more than one team! I'm on the TPAS 2 Extreme Commando team. We don't get our underwear in a bunch...because we don't wear any!

OK, I'll try not to hijack.

Cool....I'm off to send a PM!

End of hijack!

Of course we can delete threads. Ever wonder why you don't see much spam on the DISboards? It's because we delete it.

We also either lock or delete threads that get get ugly. And we do sometimes ban posters, but starting a thread that gets deleted doesn't mean the poster will be banned.

Most bannings are due to flagrant violations of our posting guidelines (fighting/rudeness, profanity, advertising, etc.)

I always thought threads cold only be locked. Never knew they could be deleted.

I never said the OP was banned I was just asking if threads can be deleted.
OK I did not assume that

But does that mean if the moderators delete your thread then you are banned?
If the original subject was the problem I would assume the OP would be contacted and at the least reminded of the guidlines. I think the "punishments" are in proportion to the crimes

Over on the photography board a prominent member disapeared. and all the threads created by that person but not their replies to ther threads.

I am so scared now... I hope I do not loose my tag for talking about the dark side of the DIS.

I normally don't post on controversial threads, which the post in question was, but today I did b/c it was "military bashing" and I was offeneded since I am a Veteran, my Dfi is active duty and all my good friends are active duty also. I was polite in the post and had just asked the OP a nice question and was looking to see if the OP had responded back.

Don't waste your time thinking about that thread. Trust me, the OP was banned once for the same type of posts and is only coming back to . By getting angry about the crap posted, you're helping give him all the negative attention he wants. Go with laughing at him.
