OP request

And if he requested to delete the forum? I don't understand this deleting of threads because an OP asked for it...

Despite the potential ruffling of some feathers within the thread, it contained some useful info that members of the club would have benefited from - this was supposedly why the OP created it in the first place, yes?

If any specific post was not in line with the forum rules, the address it with the user and edit the post accordingly.

But to delete the whole thread is in extremely poor taste.



Are there no 'rules' around WHY a thread should be deleted

The thread should not have been deleted - at most just cleaned up.
The action taken was contrary to our policy and we're discussing this now.

Especially after you spent so many of your employers time typing useful walls of text.

I've explained to the moderator concerned how we do things - this should not happen again (it was a unilateral action and in no way reflective of the committee's standpoint on this).
