There's no reason  a person who asks about the sound of a cable needs to be lectured at by people who say it can't make a difference - he's assuming it does and isn't interested in being told he's clueless.

 

And the same is true for someone who  posts measurements showing some device does nothing - he doesn't need to be told "I can hear what it does" or "we don't know how to measure everything".

 

I agree with this but would point out that he motivation of the person in these hypothetical examples is quite different, maybe even opposite!

Allow the OP not to just delete or edit posts, but also to ban members from their threads. If the OP really is a moderator for the thread, they should have this option. Make it easy and obvious for the OP to see this option for each post in their thread.

 

I would draw the line at editing (this could twist the poster's intention), but I like the option for the OP to wholly delete posts and ban specific members from that specific thread.
