Too many times a good thread is started and the original poster decides he doesn't like the way the thread is going and all of a sudden the thread is gone or locked. Only the moderator should have that power and it should be used quite sparingly.

Does anyone actually care besides me?
I have wondered the same thing. Often there is a great thread that I've wanted to go back to and suddenly its gone.

I think that would be a good addition by not allowing them to delete the entire thread only what they have typed.

Thanks
