At the moment thread self-moderation is mostly used to silence critics and present the OP in a better light than deserved, thus facilitating scams and/or self-aggrandizement.
This is an effort to gather ideas on how to make censorial efforts done by the OP more obvious to the participants of the thread.
- Programmatically insert a running count of removed posts in an obvious place of the thread, for instance the thread title or the self-moderation information banner at top of each thread page.
- Replace deleted post by a short system message that a post used to be at that place within the thread. I know this is possible with vbulletin even going so far as to offer a field that shows a reason for post deletion. So there might be a SMF plugin or option already allowing this.
Anyone else have some ideas?
