Hi. 

I'm here over 8 years and back then, I think the moderation guidelines were much lighter than today.  I think it's okay to have all foolish posts of ebm instead of removing part of them IMHO.

B) Bring more rules?

C) Decrease rules?

i think if there is a part of the chain that is inappropriate then that portion should be deleted if necessary.  Same with the OP, why should he be able to determine if the information in the post should be wiped away….that info could prove valuable to future searches.

thanks for reading this post…..before I delete it, in one, two
