all my great threads of old have been pruned, like the salsa vs cucumbers thread

And are those angry french fries?
We should totally just delete all the threads in a random forum just for fun. I'll start the PM paperworks immediately
It's FRYLOCK, you uncultured swine.
SEXY McAWESOME TO YOU, MISTER
That happens a lot to me. I must have messed up at least, er, 3 in my time. But as that constitutes about half of the threads I've ever made, it's significant.
If I mess up in future, I'll just change my thread so that it asks about favourite yoghurt colour or something. That should please everyone in World Events.
Looks like angry french fries to me.
How about: Nobody ever make any threads again, then they can't mess them up? I think that's problem solved. When do I get a payrise?
Psychotic's idea is good. But in general it is flawed, because people would still be able to post in other threads. I think we should just close the interweb and be done with all this hoo-ha.
That's exactly why it is an issue. If a thread was a bad idea then you shouldn't be making it in the first place. We don't like seeing a bunch of deleted threads because people 'changed their minds' or thought better of it after the fact.
I agree that we shouldn't be able to delete our own threads.
I meant that as in a little over a year I've deleted only one or two threads of mine I don't see why people are complaining about the deletion being revoked as it is hardly an issue as it never comes up unless you are lazy and create threads without thinking about it. I have no problem with PM'ing a mod if something like this happens as it is so rare.
Alright, I thought you'd done it twice recently and didn't think it was an issue because it made you happy or something.
No, I did it once about four months ago and again nine month ago (I guess, I didn't pay that much attention).
Heh, I think there must be something in the air today because I've already confused BoB a couple of times in the staff threads with the way I've worded things.
Basically it's similar to when an ordinace where I grew up was passed that when a kid was busted for grafitti their parent(s) had to help them clean it up. And guess who complained, only the parents who didn't look after their kids.
I feel the same way about deleting your own threads. If you're paying attention and creating them like/when you should, this shouldn't be an issue. It just forces people to put a little more thought into their threads. I don't see how that can be bad.
Either that or I was just being a prick.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
You? Never...
