A Suggestion Regarding Removal Of Posts

Three suggestions for providing greater transparency in why certain actions are taken. 

When a post is removed from a thread it now reads "Post Removed" followed by the date.  I suggest it should include who the poster was and the reason why the post was removed.

A thread could be terminated, but not removed.  The moderates should be able to stop any new posts from being added to a thread, but the thread should be available for viewing and archived.

Lastly, give the starter of a thread and only the starter the option of removing posts from that thread because they are "Off Topic".  The OP can help by stating right at the start what they consider "Off Topic".  The person who posted the "Off Topic" post can be given the option of staring a new thread.

Just a few thoughts with the intent of making Audiogon More Friendly Again!

"I recommend against that, because if it happens, @onhwy61 will lose his nose obviously first."

Huh?

61 has been here since when I first started posting (the year 2000) and the "A'Gon start dates" linked to many of our monikers are inaccurate (something to do with a system overhaul years ago).

Always enjoyed 61's input and from memory he seems to be more even keeled than many, many, many, many, many here (defintely including myself).

However, if the OP were to be granted "power" over their thread(s), as 61 suggested, I assume that 50-75% of my posts would not make the grade.

So,...

this is a BIG NO to me (plus it would enable the misinformation/shill posters). 

I made a suggestion/solution in regard to the OP's query, as have others.

What has been your contribution to this thread, aside from attacking the OP?
