There is a problem when members delete posts without a cause.
It is a problem for all board users - oldies, newbies, registered and guests when a registered member deletes a post without a causes.
Any registered member who does that is doing the board and its readers more harm than good.
We have had registered members whose only aim was to harm the board - their success was always temporary. We have had members lose control of themselves and go on bizzare deletion sprees - their spam button was yanked - and there were cases where those who were intentionally destructive were banned. Like in any other community, people in this community are of different kinds - the majority are kind and helpful. A small minority is cruel and destructive. Some are adolescents craving for attention, and some are probably going through psychotic breakdowns. I've met all of those types in real life, and I'm sure most of the other members on this forum have also - such is human society.
Guest, whether you register or whether you don't is immaterial. Take what good you can out of this board - there is a lot of it here. You are welcome to remain as a guest and learn whatever may help you, as well as contribute whatever you can to others.
ems - I too was a guest here before I felt comfortable enough to register.
And now here is my secret, a very simple secret; it is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye.
