I've asked for examples of posts being deleted that were "spurious" or "willy-nilly" but I've yet to be provided with any. How can we tell? If we get to a thread and see nothing but a string of deletions, how can we provide "proof"? If I think I've seen something useful, then go back to it a few days later to reread it and it's gone, what am I supposed to do?

But, the worst example recently I can't think of, is the "elite driver status" thread. Every time I looked, there were more and more posts deleted. Why not just let the conversation run its course?
