Is there really much difference between deleting a thread and moving it somewhere we can neither read or post in it?
All we get to see is a conspicuous absence of a thread and start jumping to conclusions.
Maybe a placeholder thread letting us know it's been moved, in a similar way to how we can move threads between the technical/moves sections would be a good idea.
*is really hoping this doesn't turn into a Pele vs the world arguement just because Pele's currently the only visible face of the mods*

I understand what your saying stone, however as the mods said he has been missing for a good few months now and a lot of people haven't noticed it/spoken up, so really how caring are we??
For me the issue is more about how we don't seem to be able to discuss it. I may however be totally alone with this feeling.

What I don't understand is when there is a serious conflict between two people, and a resolution cannot be reached, why only one member is banned. I’m basing that opinion on a thread called Letting go, in the retired members lounge.
Written by :georgemc
The other type of banning occurs usually only after a long history of "stuff". Typically it goes like this: someone frequently flouts the forum rules of public decency (language, offensive behaviour, usually offensive towards someone else etc) and is warned and is good for a while and then "reverts". Pattern repeats. Then perhaps a particular event occurs and the person steps well over the mark and the mods are notified, and discuss it and decide that the person has gone too far, has had sufficient warnings and in order to learn the final lesson has earned a ban - usually temporary. The discussion varies as each case is unique. Sometimes it's an easy decision and sometimes it's not, but either way, it's a consensus decision between all the mods. Everyone has to agree that all the contributing factors have been taken into account - including the impact on the community. Then the decision is implemented and monitored - and reviewed at appropriate time intervals.
A banning is usually NEVER as a result of one particular thread/post/incident. It is usually after a history. And it is usually also not as a result of just "person A vs person B" - that is often the impression from the last incident that triggered the eventual banning, but we usually need more than just that to consider imposing a ban. There would normally need to be evidence of "person A vs other persons" as well. Now, not everyone in the community may have seen or be aware of this kind of evidence, but the mods usually are.

1. why some may feel the need to talk about the banning of another long-standing member of the community, not necessarily to criticise those who made that decision, but, simply because that is what community members do when someone is exiled- they feel the need to talk about it
2. address the posted comment by a mod that, from the perspectice of a mod, any discussion of said members banning, is necessarily disrespectful to the mods
