if a user can delete a thread because of shame, or worried that it might not bear close examination in the morning
can you make it so that those users can't edit their posts that formed the content of their deleted thread to make them 'win' the argument with their witty rhetoric, thought up hours after the initial incident?

Alternately, a new button which you can refer a user's spontaneously thought-up 'facts' to an expert panel of internet judges who can give a thumbs-up or thumbs-down to the correctness, logic and validity of the wildly inaccurate statements thrown into the path of a semantic argument, meant to bolster a dubious proclamation that was issued in error in the first place?
