Any Alternative To Deleting Threads?

For someone with limited time to browse the forum let alone reply to posts, it's really disappointing to notice entire threads vanishing into the ether. Furthermore, it stifles conversation as a whole, especially for casual posters or even lurkers who scarcely pop up to offer their two cents.

I understand the need for moderation but would an alternative to deleting entire threads be possible as to not lose weeks-worth of conversation? For instance, maybe simply deleting posts starting from a certain point in time would be enough or deleting posts from specific posters for a given thread and then locking it might be enough.

Of course, not every post or even thread makes for a worthwhile read but shouldn't it be up to the reader to decide whether the time is well-spent or not?

I made this thread under the "The impact of hair loss" subforum as it seems to be the section most subject to moderation. Feel free to move this thread somewhere appropriate.

Thanks for reading and, of course, thanks to the moderation team and the admin for offering us the opportunity to exchange ideas in our favorite little cesspool of misery on the Internet. XOXO

because of this I do not bother to visit this section as before anymore

what a point if your posts will be erased when OP will have a mental shifting?

I got 500 or so post demolished from existence because of this

David deleted a 200pg thread and many people lost up to a 100 likes.

I think people get annoyed at making an effort to write good posts and create decent content only for someone to eliminate it when they are no longer interested in the discussion.

I imagine Dante with a glass of fine Barolo in one hand, paintbrush in the other, musing over his latest opus (usually an oil painting of Pepe)
