*PC History Lesson Time!*
About the thread deleting idea... there is a reason to it due to PC's history.
this is because of an incident about three years ago. By that time, only Lightning (if we exclude Kwesi and Steve who are the first admins) out of all the people who are still active now witnessed it in person. Basically, back then PC is a lot smaller but there's a lot more activities per poster on average. OC is active now, and it was active back then as well. One day, over some unknown arguement that I can't find out exactly (I know some of it, but not all), the thread starter of Daily Chit Chat was mad and deleted the entire Daily Chit Chat, resulting in massive post number decrease on almost all members in PC. Around that similar era, an art subforum mod was at a total breakout against other members in PC. Both sides tell a completely different version of the same story regarding who started some extreme flaming/discrimination, and the crowd is slowly taking the opposite side as the art mod. As response, the art mod deleted a lot of threads, including art contests, and again the entire PC fumed at that art mod along with the staffs at that time. After one year (so then a lot of the current staff joined by now, including me) DCC got deleted by the thread starter again due to some MSN arguements against PC. Since then, threads cannot be deleted by normal members anymore, and mods can only "hide" a topic from the forum (so if the deleting is unjust, a higher staff can reverse the damage) instead of actually deleting it. Since the last day I was a mod, no staffs, except for one arguement between the first praetor and an admin, have ever deleted anything. They only hide threads now.
