hiya!
i've an idea, when a post is deleted on these forums it would be really good to know why. some deletions i understand, others i dont. to save head scratching and to help us all grow as sensible forum users i reckon it would be handy.

In some cases we do tell the user why their posts have been deleted. In others the reason should be apparent without explanation. Read the forum guidelines for further information.

Post heaven, unless they've been bad posts then it's post hell. Really boring, pointless posts go to post rock.

And if a deleted post's fate has yet to be decided does it end up in post purgatory?

Why would a good post be deleted?

Why do all the good ones die?

when posts are deleted telephone wires coming crashing down and lie crackling in the grass, gass. well maybe only in the country.... i have a theory, i reckon Chris sells them to charity shops and they lurk beside old copies of Dune waiting to be discovered.

Sometimes it's in the wrong thread at the wrong time, sometimes it's because it's infected by another deleted post (or to give the infection it's latin name, deletus quotus) and sometimes it's just it's time.

I'm sure that there is a joke about post mortems here, but I just can't be bothered to work it out.
