    Deleting threads

    When a thread such as that tripe that appeared in Cricket Chat today is closed, why is it not also deleted? Is this a policy decision or is it a fear of screwing the post count and corrupting the data base which used to happen on older forums?

    I usually only delete when it's a spam-bot. Since this wasn't, I just closed it. It's not any kind of policy or database reason.

    Not obviously this time actually, but I can't be certain.

    Absolutely out of order to accuse Prince EWS of this

    The usual suspect?

    TAFKA Precam?
    - As featured in The Independent.

    "This is not the time for namby-pamby promising youngsters who might just do something; not the time for building for the future. Pragmatism rules and they don't come more pragmatic than Rogers."
    - Victor Marks makes the case for stiff-legged and stiff-armed 35 year old left-handers in Ashes squads

    Actually I didn't mean him - unless who I am thinking of was him all along

    I hope the reasoning was clear enough for the original poster. I don't think we need to go down a route of discussing who the troll might have been.
