Myrth you deleted a whole lot of posts in the thread about the rules on the general forum. Can you un-deat it and just put it in the spam forum?

Not true; the mods still have the power to undelete things and move them as they see fit.

An analogy:

Forum 7 is to Us
as

It depends upon how we delete it. We can soft-delete something so that it's retrievable, but we can also hard-delete something and wipe it from the system.

We usually go for soft-deletions.

Forum 7 was deleted prior to the migration as a means of reducing the load on the old server. Unless one of the Admins performed a forum backup, it's gone.

Ah, I see; I didn't realize there were two ways to delete things on these forums. Thanks for the information, Cog!

I can either do that, or just totally remove it.

It was all manually toasted, and way before the back-up before the Jolt move. It's gone. Thankfully.
