thumb down on deleting posts. you make subsequent posters look stupid when they reply to something that is no longer there.

Nope, of course not. 'Specially because the functionality is lost once the post has been replied to.


So admins, you going to answer me or what?

It's the same as someone just erasing their post, chief. And if a post has been replied to, it can't be deleted.

its different from editing in that the replier can point at "look he edited it!"
if the ability to delete is gone once there is a reply then i have no problem...
