User blog comment:BertH/User rights updates for Forum and Message Wall/@comment-4234382-20150202000452/@comment-4234382-20150204030612

@Energy X Because as an admin, I actually trust users to use the remove or not remove message wall thread/forum thread responsibly (Besides "bad removals" can easily be reverted). By removing this feature it seems to indicate to me that Wikia distrusts non-admins/non-moderators judgement.

Also, since non-admins/"moderators" can't remove bad threads (spam, personal attacks, vandalism...); why isn't there a "Report this post" button or something similar to let the people with the ability to remove threads know that a post may be problematic?

Thankfully this doesn't affect user talk pages and wiki-style forums. I guess communities that trust users should disable both (Message Wall and the New Forums) until this feature is fixed (read reverted) then.
