To be fair I cringe thinking about the bicointalk vs altcoinstalks thread over there and this topic just reminded me of that. So it's now in the sorting box instead, out of public view, where nothing ever get's sorted.

I think someone else already said but the scandal in deleting posts/topic is resolved with users using common sense and just reporting their own post/topics for deletion, often with the intellect to modify the content to "delete" so it's easier for mods to identify, which happens all the time for reference sake. But I did laugh about users paying for this feature, which would give the impression that the patrons/royalty over there paid up because they wanted that feature. As far as I know, no-one did, they did it just to support the forum and/or wear the badge. Similar to copper member, the only regular rank that is purchased is express rank, which is similar regarding posting images and links.

So that just leaves this topic, which definitely wasn't intended to be a comparison between this forum and another -  in order to appreciate this forum somehow (did I get that part right?) - but ultimately is centered around that theme exclusively in both OP, as well as inevitably the discussion, despite best intentions it seems. Never thought I'd see the day when a user here is using that forum as an example to appreciate things here, but I guess that day is today.
