    Threads being unintentionally deleted

    Over the past year a couple of my threads have been deleted, one of which I know was deleted unintentionally because a mod cleaning up the forums mistook the thread name for spam. I believe the same thing happened last night with another thread of mine.

    Any ideas how we can prevent accidental thread deletion? Perhaps some kind of functionality that indicates the user that created the thread has XYZ post count?

    Be very picky with choosing thread title.

      Thread titles - if its not descriptive or topical, its easy to mistake for spam. "Help!" or "question..." are not good titles..

          "comes now the time for improvement" isn't either.
