It is so much easier and Cleans Up the boards.
I would send the OP a reason why it was deleted also.

I agree With The 'EDIT: NOT QUALIFIED TO SELL' One But How Would The Person Kno If There Was aDouble If You Mods Kept Deleting Their Topics...I Would Rather They LOCK The Topics So Us: NON MODS Kno Why They Locked It.......Jus My Opinion. {thumb2}Paigey012 wrote:I delete some 'EDIT: NOT QUALIFIED TO SELL' topics in the Autographs For Sale/Exchange fourms.

Because it would force people to check the forums first before posting. We could also send a PM informing them that their answer can be found elsewhere. It will mean more work for us to start with, but less in the long run (as people start to get the idea and do some work for themselves for a change!musicfan wrote:I agree With The 'EDIT: NOT QUALIFIED TO SELL' One But How Would The Person Kno If There Was aDouble If You Mods Kept Deleting Their Topics...I Would Rather They LOCK The Topics So Us: NON MODS Kno Why They Locked It.......Jus My Opinion. {thumb2}Paigey012 wrote:I delete some 'EDIT: NOT QUALIFIED TO SELL' topics in the Autographs For Sale/Exchange fourms.

I like this idea.
I like the idea of deleting the topic and sending a pm to the poster. I have completely stopped commenting on topics that have been covered dozens of times. I feel like a broken record repeating myself so many times. For this reason it might look as though I don’t visit Fanmail much anymore, but I visit just as much as I have in the past, but I just refrain from commenting on these topics that have been covered already. I think we should take this idea into effect immediately.musicfan wrote:TO OSIRIS: What Do You Mean,, People Can Do Things For Themselves For a Change?

What I mean is, it is often quicker and easier for the user to so the search themselves, rather than wait for an answer from a mod, to a question that has already been answered a hundred times.
