Board Thread:False Info and Speculative Discussion/@comment-4772791-20160227092158/@comment-26879545-20160301144215

It doesn't change the fact that the post has "it's probably" in it. Those two words make it clear that it's speculation (on a Forum literally called False Info & Speculative Discussion). The only part I can see that would be troublesome is the part about Peter. It had nothing to do with their theory and is stated as fact when we couldn't know if that's the reason why Peter hasn't been "perma-killed" yet. Is it likely? Sure, but as far as we can tell, there's no facts to support the statement (other than the ressurection part; that did happen). However, that would be appropriate to discuss in a thread about Peter. Anyway, I digress.

I don't want to argue Forum Politics but, as a moderator, you have the ability to edit people's posts. Normally it's used when someone says something homophobic, derogatory, or against forum policy. If you feel that their post needs a "this is my theory" label, it's well within your powers to edit that in instead of resorting to erasing posts left and right. Deleting posts should only be a last resort, IMHO. Ultimately it's up to the moderator in question in the end so... yeah.

I do appreciate that you give warnings though. It just comes across as though you're giving that person an ultimatum (basically something like "Either do this, or I'll delete it") which, to some could be seen as an abuse of power (not saying that you are, just pointing out how it could look to some).
