Wow, I don't visit the forum for the day and this happens.

I do think that editing threads so they go in the direction that you wish should definitely not be done on this forum, especially when deleting posts also reduces the post counts for members who posted in that thread. Forums are all about discussing, but also about variation which is why digressing from the topic is allowed. If people are going too off topic, then someone should just say "Please guys get back on topic", you should never, ever start deleting posts on this forum. Deleting threads as a whole with the reason "cleanup", is a very silly idea, for similar reasons as before. Just because you now feel like that a certain thread is useless, it should still be kept since there are always people who will search the forum months/years later trying to find a certain post. It wouldn't help if it had been deleted.

Well, since at the time of posting, 11 people wish you to have your moderator removed, I have gone and removed it (and set your user title back to the default!).
