Clarification on deleted posts.

[6ix]

We have had some queries about our moderation of threads, specifically our requests that members respond to the OP. We wish to clarify that the intent of this is to keep focus on the OP. This enables a thread to avoid private side conversations and debates between members, and reduces off topic conversations and incidences of incivility between members - all of which are violations of our TOS. Please remember to post to engage with the OP, and not to preach to other members. 

Thank you for your cooperation.
