Ohh.. and dont forget the ever popular:

6. I hate it when people use the boards to have conversations directed only at one or two other people.

By the way Kathy and StrawartS, this has been fun but I'm going to bed now. Nite nite you two. Do try to stay out of trouble ok?

Janet had started this new Scar Stages thread. I think she has vowed to never delete it. Although someone really needs to make it a sticky again. So if you posted on the old one, please post on this new one.

You guys crack me up. I am dying over here.

OK I was asked to voice my opinions as another moderator.

1. I think everyone should have the RIGHT to edit their OWN posts.

2. I think everyone should have the RIGHT to delete their OWN posts.

3. I think the deletion of WHOLE threads is a bit much. I would suggest if you really want the thread you started to disappear then ask a Moderator or the Administrator to delete only YOUR posts not the WHOLE THREAD.

I don't think it is appropriate for someone else to delete or edit someone elses words.

Yes, this has happened in the past and not much was said about it. But I do agree with Alexandra that it hasn't happened on this magnitude in this short period of time. There was some valuable information that was deleted recently.

Yes, as Moderators we can go in and UN-DELETE any thread or post, but should we? Do you want us to do that at whim? I don't want that. As a member of LBT I wouldn't want that.

So, it boils down to what is best for the WHOLE board and those decisions will be finalized by Alex, the owner with input from the 4 moderators.

The poll that was started is good for fact finding and to get a "feel" of what everyone wants but in the end it is still Alex's decision what to do. We can either abide by that decision or not.

Just my two cents and some change. LOL!!

I totally agree with this and would have said the same thing myself. Let's face it, a lot of times we say things we wish we hadn't said and I think we have the right to delete what we said. The part I don't agree with is deleting a whole long valuable thread. If you want to take out the portion that involves yourself, then contact one of the moderators and let them remove only what you said. We lost a lot of valuable information in the last week, that could have been avoided.

Please, if you are upset with a thread that you started, contact one of us and let's talk about it before you delete it.
