Done.
Ok, so discourse is not he culprit. That's a good news.
Though I think I get your point, acting like this causes more problems
than it solves.
In fact people don't use forums like wikis and deleting other user's
posts, without warning, is generally considered as censorship.
I think there are other ways to clean the forum. If a thread is
clearly outdated, for example, we can:
-- lock it
-- move it in a section that could be called "archives"
Thus, nobody can be frustrated because these are normal acts in a
forum and nothing disappears.
In any case, my opinion is that this kind of new rule should be
publicly discussed and adopted in the forum itself.
We can also open a category dedicated to the moderators to discuss
such cases that are not ruled by our settlement.
Wdyt?
