All opening posts should be immediately quoted for prosperity or not allowed to be deleted.

Also as per some other forums the opening post should be shown at the top of each page so we don't have to keep going to page 1 to see what the thread is all about.

Maybe this will make people stop and think before they post something they then regret and delete and leave us all looking a bit silly, replying to a post that no longer exists.

Just thought I would get that off my chest, I have finished washing the car and need to waste a few minutes before feeding the dogs.

…
That would only help if
a) thread title was accurate enough
b) OP was succinct enough.

The other option is we stay as we are and ban serial deleters.

What, like making a fool of themselves by confusing the word 'prosperity' with 'posterity'?

I have always said I post a lot of crap and was waiting for somebody like you to come along and try to be clever.

Not sure what your excuse is though

Posterity, unless you were intending to charge the reader?

Wow, I spelt a word wrong on with auto correct and didn't notice or correct it, can't you guys get a life

And you can't even get your excuses for being wrong, right...

At least your username makes sense: given an infinite number of you, one of you might be able to type something coherent.

I would have thought a man of your professional standing would have better things to do than try scoring silly internet points and using your superior intelligence trying put an idiot like me in my place on here.

And you only had to resort to stupid, meaningless insults to do it, way to go Equus.

Interestingly, if you realised why the thread was started you would probably have responded like Scrump did, who was immediately on the ball.

But then again that wouldn't have been so much fun and given you such satisfaction.

You are my hero of the day so feel proud of yourself

You realise you're supposed to do the flounce before deleting the opening post?

I actually love threads where the opening post gets deleted. You just know those are going to juicy!

As long as it has already been quoted for prosperity, then you know the flouncer will be sitting behind their keyboard swearing at the person who quoted it but can do sod all about it
