# but that's a problem with people being weirdly 'board nazi-ish' about deleting threads
or is there actually some problem that arises from a thread deletion, beyond people losing valuable post counts?
I've never fully understood the hoo-hah

# I have no idea, but it happens, and people who see the board can see what happens when a thread gets deleted.
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.

# aye, another fine and simple solution to avoid the wobbling :)

but that's easily rectified.

Archie- I see and agree with what you've said, I've never quite got it either.
