I think...although this issue has been solved that the solution isn't just deleting or whatever mods do with threads that "break rules"... but to make a decent final post explaining the decision and where we can all read the reason for deletion, and then close the thread....and leave it there...at least for a while...
I mean...I would
if I find one thread of mine deleted for any reason that I may not know...
This way there might be a better communication between mods and posters...
