[Mark.B]

My policy on this sort of thing is simple...if people don't like the site, they should leave.

"Leaving threads" are generally deleted, unless they are genuine ones where the member has to leave for ill health or work committments or something. If it's a "flounce" leaving thread, it goes.

"Site going downhill" threads; it depends on the nature. I don't want to censor people's genuine issues, but on the other hand if all they want to do is insult us and harm the site, then they can go elsewhere.

If I don't like a site, I don't go there. Therefore if I've got people perpetually complaining about the site, eventually they will be banned. I figure that since they hate the place so much, they won't mind. But it's a last resort.
