So Bruce used his expanded mod privilege to do something a regular user cannot do (delete an old thread)? And he erased part of the Cellar history in the process? Bruce could have deleted all the pics he posted in any thread - any user can do that. But he destroyed an entire thread and didn't ask (UT) first or make it known afterwards?

As a user of this fine establishment, I would like management to make a note of my extreme objection to that in my permanent record.

I further move that he be removed as a mod immediately and that a special election be held to fill the vacancy.

he seemed very out of sorts the last few weeks. I wonder if he's got really hacked off and left the Cellar? I hope not.

I second the motion.

Hmmm . . . based on what he erased, I'm going to guess that he has an extremely personal reason to do this, which if he contacted me I might take care of in similar fashion. (I have deleted specific stuff for people when it put them at odds with family, employer, and/or risk of cyber-stalking.)

I think this line's mostly filler.

Any chance of restoring non-Bruce posts in DoDads?

Possible. (But possibly quite tedious.)

I'm inclined to cut Bruce some slack here. He's been a damn good citizen up to now.

UT is insane, but his secret is safe with us.

Bruce can certainly be cantankerous and pig-headed, but his recent behavior is rather alarming. When I e-mailed him last week to see if he would be coming out to my wedding in October, his response was rather flippant. I'm personally concerned more than mad. I guess we'll see how this unfolds, if it does.

I reckon cut Bruce some slack too, UT seems to have hit the nail on the head....the contents he deleted are very personal.

Although it seems OTT to delete a whole thread, it could of been a bit of a knee jerk reaction to whatever is going on, but I'm thinking there would be a reason.

I've missed a bit lately...so if Bruce was acting out of character...I missed it.

Hoping things are OK.
