What happens to deleted threads

Anyone can read them.

They can't actually (if my informant is correct and the system is working which it was this morning). The Diversions Forum remains open and people are free to continue their learned discussions there out of sight as long as they know the url (and usually I leave a link). But the Diversions Closed threads are password protected, so although the posts are still in the database, they can't be accessed either by the public or by members not logged in or who have forgotten (if they ever knew) the password. It is not crawled by search engines either.

This can only be damaging FOR3, & will lose FOR3 valuable supporters; after all FOR3 is of more importance than the mb French Frank generously provides.

hummm is that true ?
Not that i'm knocking the FOR3 members at all

[eighthobstruction]

Hmmmm do you really think that is not true GG ??....the subject has been looked at and written about many times....we piggyback on FoR3....I'm sure ff fields many a disgruntled member of FoR3 offering resignation from FoR3 due to reasons residing in R3ForumMbs....

I don't follow. Look under Announcements: 'Deleted Thread' (5 down)

How is that hidden, or password protected? The abuse remains.

Edit: you need to be logged in as a member. But no password is required. I still don't understand why, if a thread is deleted, it isn't simply deleted.

But that's a thread ABOUT the 'deleted thread' [recte 'removed thread'], not the thread itself where the abusive posts were. If there's another one which you objected to, complain but at a quick look I can only see me being walloped and others being referred to.
