Self-moderated threads should continue though someone might use it to abuse the system. I think there would be people like that where they delete some posts and only allow what they allow. In scamming people, they can also delete the evidence so that the victim won't be able to prove the claim unless they make a copy of it right away.
I wonder what the purpose was? Obviously it’s been archiving a variety of purpose but the idea it sprang from is a history am not part of yet.
Still, self moderation has been the closest way to proper thread keeping as most times, the capable gets to pick interest in the discussion and keeps the thread as clean and on point as possible. No doubt there have been those who might use it for an abuse and delete contradictory statements or ideas that doesn’t agrees with there’s not to mention, the selection of who gets to say what.
It still plays yo the ideas of self moderation but in a way, it offs some truth.
Even still, I won’t want it washed away up as some good still comes from it.
