Deleted thread

[bodog]

There was a thread earlier today in general, iirc, where a guy was discussing claiming to be military or Leo in order to buy a specific knife. It looks like it's been deleted. At least I can't find it at all. If it's been deleted, when did the policy of deleting threads change?

Not deleted. Moved offline.
Thread was about lying in order to order a knife that was not legal to be shipped.

BF doesn't promote breaking the law. So the thread was moved offline.

Things do not get deleted. They do occasionally get moved off line.

Ok. Any reason not to leave it up? There was a smorgasbord of smackdown happening and it might not be a bad thing for others who see thread in the future to be peer pressured into doing the right thing.

Already got a posting rule about it:

Don't do something illegal, or post about illegal activities.

I made a judgement call on whether to close it or move it offline.

I think it was a good call. More random people would be inspired to try the same thing than deterred.
