[Stu]

Different approaches can be explained by the following..

Deleted threads:- The thread starter of some threads delete the thread themselves, some threads are removed by admin but this is rare.

Closed threads:- Some threads are closed at the request of the the thread starter and some are closed by Admin.

As Admin we will only close or delete threads if the thread is breaking our T&C's, 98% of the time it is because of members making their comments personal causing unfriendliness.
