Agustus what do you think of the following two answers I got from Bob. Notice in the first reply he says all deletions must go through him. This led me to believe I had been wrong about the head of a thread having the power to delete a post. He also says all posts that he has seen deleted were ones he would have deleted himself. I think he couched his words carefully to make things look a little differently than they actually are. If a person who has the power to delete a post does it and Bob comes back and restores it after there are 200 more posts made on the thread who is going to see it? I think what he should have said to be completely truthful was that "yes the thread head does have the power to delete a post but I can overule him".

In my second question he again sidesteps the question. He answers that he doesn't play the hypster game but that's not what I commented on. What I said was that it had been set up more for hypsters.

I still think Bob was great for SI and did a wonderful job here.
_____________

The person who starts a thread can delete any posts he wants to.

It's important to note that any deletion has to go through me. There haven't been a lot of deletions since I started. I don't know if there were before then, but there haven't been many since, and each post that was deleted was one I would've deleted too.

set up more for hypsters than anything else.

Anyone who's known me very long (more than 3 years) knows I don't play that. Not even remotely. In fact, most of my detractors will vouch for that. It's the biggest thing they complain about.
