So often threads are deleted for no reason at all. Maybe a mod finds it offensive or whatever. But can we have a thread where e a mod must post which thread they're deleting and the reason they're deleting it. So we can end mods deleting good threads because they're offended of whatever.

Negative.

It causes way too much drama. We've tried it before and it just doesn't work out. Nobody likes to have their thread deleted, but it makes the site a ton better.

So if your shit gets deleted, just do less of what got deleted and more of what you did before a deletion.

is there a chance in the future where op will be able to edit their posts in the thread or delete the thread entirely without involving a mod?

It would be extremely easy to add, but people have always stated they like the permanency of posting on NS.

Nah that'd ruin NS IMO. Half of the fun of ns is laughing at people making mistakes.

yeah for sure it would - but again time and time again we've discussed this and it was always rejected by everyone. Its an extremely easy change to make... but as Heath said its kind of part of the culture here that once you post something its out there. I think right now in B/S/T you can edit/delete posts, and you have a bit of time to edit after you post in the main forums but that is it.

Hah maybe you can't... perhaps I just know we talked about adding that and never did.

I have different permissions than most people so its easy to kind of lose track of exactly how some shit works. :)
