Deleting posts after a reply has been received

Post by brothers »

Just curious. Normally simple edit might work but in some cases it would be nice just to delete it. Every so often it (posts removed after replies posted) happens and I'm curious as to the protocol. I'm referring only to routinely acceptable sincere posts by legitimate long time members in good standing as opposed to scams and trolls.

One has to be a bit careful in removing the original post of a thread, as that can make the whole thread meaningless. For follow-up posts, there's generally no harm in removing them. Ask any mod or admin and they can help you out.

Gary, if you go to "The Team" at the bottom of the page, it lists administrators. It doesn't list moderators, however, as we're not "global moderators."

I am a moderator, so you can contact me for such help.

Chris, is there another way to publish a list of moderators for the members of the forum?

I could likely extract a list from the Admin Control Panel, but after a brief look, I see we should stir the remaining mods and admins to bring it up to date. There are people we haven't seen in years.

I see the admin team but I don't see Murray and other moderators - if any - listed.

You have to delve into the depths of the admin control panel, which is only visible to admins.
