I will be repeating these suggestions...
(In no particular order of importance.)
1. Put at the top of the message box a number indicating the thread and a number indicating the post, like this: Thread #12343 Post #7;
2. Return by pm any message deleted by the powers in charge here;
3. Inform by pm the author of a message if his message is edited by powers here or moved to another place;
4. On justifiable request from a member, set a specified power personnel off-limits to the said requesting member; so that the specified power personnel is barred from reacting to the posts of the member and from tampering, by editing, moving, or deleting, the member's posts. Certainly, he can still approach another power personnel to do what he likes to do in regard to the member;
5. Set a time limit of at most ten minutes for the author of a post to edit or delete his published post;
6. Prevent or disable a thread starter from locking up his own thread.
Thanks for the attention of the powers here.
