Topic: Petition: disable 'self-moderation' - page 3. (Read 3101 times)
Leave the self-moderation but don't delete the deleted posts completely (make them like the ones from ignored people)
Please disable 'self-moderation'. Legitimate debate does not need to silence dissent. And this is exactly what its being used for, people trying to control perceptions of something. And it has a chilling effect - why bother to type out a post if you know there is a chance your reply will be deleted. And why clutter up the site posting a competing thread if the topic is only marginally important to you (and a competing thread doesn't address the problem of the original poster controlling perception for people that only saw their thread).
And if you look at what its used for: I see only people disparaging bitcoin with lies while deleting rebuttals, and some highly questionable services trying to maintain a positive image (I can't find the thread again, but a guy was offering bounties for links to forums using particular old versions of some software and the thread was 'self-moderated').
