Can threads be deleted? What is locking a thread? Threads can be deleted but we don't like to do it often and will not delete a thread apart from in exceptional circumstances. These include:
- Libellous threads. If we think a thread might be libellous it might be deleted. This hasn't happened very often.
- Personal threads. If a thread is started discussing a registered user or their actions, that user has the right to ask for it to be deleted or locked. The thread does not have to be an attack on the user. This does not apply to threads users start themselves and later regret.
