I was lead to believe that someone no longer on the site had their posts removed,this doesnt seem the case-

I think that still applies to threads they initiate, not replies on other peoples threads. prepared to be corrected, as i no doubt someone will. Jess x

Surely if you nudge a thread because you think it would be of interest to others you leave your nudge on the thread. JoJo

I noticed Roy's thread reappear early this morning.... And no, it wasn't me...I have better things to do! I agree, Jo, if you nudge it for another member, please say so or we all end up getting paranoid again

Why nudge it and hide the evidence? You'd leave the word Nudge or a comment surely?

A while ago, we had lots of threads being nudged that were anything up to 2yrs old People were spending time and money in credits before they realised the date on the thread

It is no longer the case that the threads and replies of ex members disappear when they leave. Gwynne

I'm sure the 'Beaver Blower' thread was nudged because of a thread on the General Board. I'm sure it isn't all malicious Suex
