Yep. Almost always, we just "delete" posts. The only time we actually will physically remove a
post is when a post is spam, a duplicate post, or when a post could be
hurtful to a member whose pet has
died. (am I forgetting anything?
) (oh! yes I am...pure human error...but still, we look at a thread's history and always see if a post was deleted vs. physically removed)
The only time we delete an actual thread is when it is spam, or against the rules, or for example, a For Sale thread isn't completed correctly (which also, technically is against the rules).
There is one glitch that a few members have brought to our attention and I will try to describe, although it's difficult. See where I deleted my own post above (yes, I know people would love to see that more often) as the example? And you can "see" it? And usually, when Admin (or any other Mod) deletes a post, you can also see "deleted post" there as well.
However, there is some glitch that happens sometimes - and it's odd. Sometimes when Admin deletes a post (just deletes, not physically removes), the members can't see "deleted post", but we don't know why - bc it's still physically right there and visible (the mods/admin can still see it, it looks like how a normal "deleted post" should look). But, we've had members say "no it's not there, it's gone" - even when we can see it
right there.
So, in sum, members should always be able see when Admin "deletes" a post, however, there is a glitch where sometimes it appears *as if* it's disappeared, but it hasn't. We don't know why that happens at times, with Admin. But members are welcome to ask "did that post go poof, or what?", and we'll try to answer. We have nothing to hide in terms of post/threads etcetera.
Argh, hope that made sense....
