I was just thinking that, to the casual poster, (which I assume the poster of the image above is, along with many others) it doesn't really help them get a feel for b3ta, as in one breath people might say delete something, and then if they view the board later on and see a diff. thread deleted, suddenly that deleter will be called a c*nt.
They can't win.

or is there actually some problem that arises from a thread deletion, beyond people losing valuable post counts?

So it doesn't really give them much to take on board if in one ear people are saying 'delete that you c*nt, and then later on when someone perhaps does delete something, maybe for something far less trivial, suddenly it's as if the 'offender' has personally come into our homes on christmas day and pissed on our turkey.
It doesn't matter to the casual observer if it's a 'weird' board nazi-ish thing to do, it happens anyway. It's surely easier for people to exercise control over what they see, as I said above. if they don't like it, hide/adblock it and don't comment, or at least if they do comment, make it constructive.
otherwise, this place just becomes an extended youtube comments section

no need to delete a thread then.
