What if the OP has some adjustments to make on the thread he created and isn't allowed to make edits or some adjustments would Op has to re-post in that same thread or what? Usually, the op should be permitted to make adjustments on their own thread but as we know whatever that is posted on any thread/topic is automatically archived so, even if they edit it for their personal interest or gains it can be still be revisited to know the original content op posted or even the deleted from the thread.

Bro, "creator of the post" is different than "OP. A creator of a post is someone who is creating/making a post, for example, if I make this post, I'm the creator of this post. "OP" is the creator of the thread, and I was talking about posters in the thread, not the OP. I know that the OP should be allowed to make adjustments or whatever, what I was saying that a poster, whose post gets deleted by the OP of a self-moderated thread, shouldn't be allowed to make changes in the post that has been deleted once it goes into the archive, the feature we are discussing here. And, even the OP shouldn't be allowed to do anything with the posts that are added into the archived posts, which are basically posts that were deleted by the OP in his thread. Smiley

Usually why I do not so much like a self-moderated thread because is just for personal gain where the original creator has the ability to permit any post that would be posted there or not

That is the very reason why we are discussing about a feature that would reserve the removed/deleted posts for reference for others to see, for better transparency, only to make it clear that the OP isn't misusing the power of self-moderation and is only thrashing posts that deserve to be trashed and not doing it for personal reasons, etc.

On the other hand, I think that perhaps there is no need for the forum to have a way to save these deleted messages, as there are already platforms that perpetually save all posts created on the forum.

Like LoyceV's archives, or ninjastic.space which allows you to access all posts made.

Yes, but we need the message/post ID to be able to see the archived version of it. How do you find that for a deleted post in a self-moderated thread?
