To Think HQ Need To Change Their Deletion Policy

Unless I've missed something, which is possible.

The party line was always that they wouldn't delete threads just because OP wants them to.

But that's exactly what they do now. Every single time OP gets in a snit, the thread is gone.

If that's their new policy, fine. Their site, they can do what they want.

But, the deletion message still reads that they don't usually delete threads, but will when a poster's privacy is at risk (or whatever).

So, AIBU to think they should either change their deletion message to "OP wanted the thread deleted" or stop doing it?!

Hi all,

Thanks for the reports on this one.

We don't tend to use that deletion message unless there has actually been an issue with privacy but it's clear this isn't the case this time.

We should write a personalised message on these threads and apologies if this hasn't been happening. We will make sure the message gets across .

We tend not to zap threads just because someone asks us to and/or doesn't like the comments, there has to be good reason and if it's not for privacy, then we should be posting that reason as the deletion message.

Apologies that this hasn't happened on this occasion.
