Forum thread can be deleted by OP with other people's comments

IMO it should be allowed only if nobody else commented yet.  OP should not be allowed to delete the whole thread including other's people comments.

Are you talking about the spam thread that you commented on? To be honest I considered leaving it for the lols

No, I don't mind that one - I expected it to be short lived

TrustyWay started a thread about curse buff and it dissapeared.  People were complaining about sheep pen thread going missing with all comments/credits for ideas.  I've seen another one being deleted recently, but don't recall topic ATM.

Hmmm. I've only ever deleted spam threads. At least, I hope that is the case. I am more often than not moderating from my phone though, so I will take extra care to make sure I haven't thumbed the wrong thread before I hit delete in case it has been me.

It most likely wasn't you, but OP.  He should be free to delete first post, but not all the comments below.  I've just tested it, and if you try to delete first post it shows something like that:
  Topic started by sc0rp - Today 02:17:55
  Warning! This is the first post in the topic, the whole topic will be permanently deleted.
  The post you have chosen to delete is set out below for you to review before proceeding.

And then the whole topic is gone.

Ah right, I didn't know users could delete their own threads. Not sure if there is anything that can be done about it, but I'll look at the settings.

It looks like there are some permissions settings, but they would need to be set by Jason, not one of the moderators.

Okay, changed it so that members cannot delete their own topics anymore.  They can still delete comments, and they can still edit their OP in the topic (to make it blank or whatever), but they can't delete the whole topic.
