RoomScape Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 http://osbot.org/forum/topic/59263-important-forum-cleanup/ I look through my threads to find stuff as well as those created by others. Deleting it will remove that information and it's just generally annoying. If you want to stop gravedigging, lock the thread...don't delete it from view. Now if I'm looking for something I or someone else posted in an old thread, I have to ask a mod to look it up for me and they possibly have no idea what I'm talking about and I can now not find what I'm looking for? Seriously? That is just annoying and honestly pointless... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedneffOxes Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 it'll be better if we got rid of the spam that you make constantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Extreme Scripts Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 The threads aren't deleted they are just hidden, the general assumption is if no one posts In The thread > 1 month it's dead and there is no use for it anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eliot Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I agree, it's absurd to hide old threads for no reason. I'll talk to @Maldesto and look into reversing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Maldesto Posted August 23, 2014 Administrator Share Posted August 23, 2014 I agree, it's absurd to hide old threads for no reason. I'll talk to @Maldesto and look into reversing this. We aren't going to be hiding them, we can lock them. People like to view old threads for various reasons. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like roomscape said you shouldnt delete it mate Not true. You can hide a thread (most users don't see, but mods and admins do) You can delete a thread (nobody sees it anymore), but the thread is still stored in a special place. You can permanently delete a thread after it's been "deleted" When you get that notification, it's like deleting something into the Recycle Bin on Windows. It's not really deleted, just moved somewhere hidden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Maldesto Posted August 23, 2014 Administrator Share Posted August 23, 2014 Verified, please don't make assumptions bringing your "lol" in here without knowing facts. You are 100% wrong, "delete" means "hidden". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliot Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 It doesn't matter if they're deleted or hidden either way the community can't view them. We won't be hiding them anymore. Sorry about that. We're going to undo whatever was recently hidden. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Maldesto Posted August 23, 2014 Administrator Share Posted August 23, 2014 Divinity did it for the good of the community, he was just trying to clean up. Not trying to cause problems guys, relax a bit. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
