Well I work at NewsBTC and I was told to, yeah.
Told to, by whom? I wonder whether the person who told you to do this was paid or is part of the project.I didn't investigate the project, at all, and assumed nothing bad would happen. I recognize that that was irresponsible. I am willing to delete the thread... I will do it now, actually, which you can verify. I will update you all here on the situation soon
Horribly irresponsible indeed.UPDATE: It told me "You cannot delete your own topics in this board." Do I need to contact a moderator to delete my threads (never done it), and if so, which one?
You can lock it and then move it into archival for the time being. This option can be found in the lower left corner when you visit the thread.
