Hi,
Netiquette and fair behaviour _forbid_ the deletion of people's
contents, unless clear infringement of rules, TOS, code of conduct
(spam, insults, racism, pornography, piracy etc etc etc).
https://forum.openmandriva.org/faq
https://forum.openmandriva.org/tos
Admins usually well know the abovementioned rules.
Moderators (if not already aware) should learn them and apply when necessary.
At any rate, general suggestion is:
- never, NEVER delete others' content.
- not even edit it - unless evident spam. If any need (see above),
write the reason and sign the edit
- if you need help, ask admins
- if you are not sure on what to do, do nothing. Ask admins, discuss,
solicit intervention
Mods privileges are a honor and a responsibility, please handle with care ;-)

Agree. Let's do.

Disagree. I don't see any need of doing so. Readers are able to read
the time and judge wether a topic is outdated or not.
As said, it's a forum not a wiki.
@Ben, don't take it as personal or offending because the point here is
to help not to hurt ;-)
Cheers,
