Thread Name: BS: Closed threads & deleted posts (3)
Subject: RE: BS: Closed threads & deleted posts (3)
You have wrongly presented an interpretation as a fact.

No

What I posted was that in addition to the fact that the thread had been closed for reasons and by persons unknown - that it appeared that it also had been given a new title.

For our anonymous 'moderators' to impose such action would not now come as a surprise. As for them to judge, close, delete or re title threads and posts and provide no explanation, is sadly now quite normal on our forum.

Would you agree that the only means of preventing such assumptions from being made (when it might not be the case and as you point out, there may be another explanation) is for all such editing action to be recorded in editing comments.

So when posters do not see an editing comment - they will then know for sure to look for another explanation.

Whatever the explanation may prove to be - the only fact we have to go on is that the title of the only post in that thread is different to the thread's title.

As I have said - I would rather posters were not left only to speculate if imposed actions had taken place and what the reasons for this may have been. I would rather that they were informed and could then openly discuss the reasons provided reasons with an informed view.
