Huh?

Please read this. We should not waste GDNet''s bandwidth with useless threads.

Look, I need to clear something up. I know that everytime a thread disappears, people assume the staff or mods do it. But 90% of the threads that disappear have been deleted by the original poster.

Do not meddle in the affairs of moderators, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

Seeing as the deletion of threads often causes confusion would it be possible to have a page that would list the titles of threads deleted in the last month or so?

Perhaps it would be a good idea to prevent users from deleting threads like that. A single post I can understand, but not a whole thread. And if someone has a legitamate reason for wanting their thread deleted, they could always ask a moderator.

It''s not a good idea to burden moderators more. Something like being able to delete threads which have less than x replies would be nice.

Just yesterday someone asked a sincere question about how GameDev.net came to be and I gave them a link to the about page. A few minutes later the thread was gone and I understood.
