Suggestion for thread deletion

[RicRider]

It's frustrating to spend time typing out a response on a thread only to have the thread creator delete the thread later on. For people who value their time it's doubly frustrating as we don't post much on forums, only when we see we can give genuine advice.

Suggestions:
- for those who played the original DOTA they will remember an addon that everyone was using, I don't remember the name, but it told you when a 'leaver' entered your game so you knew to kick them; similarly, the forum could have a label next to a user's name after a certain number of posts have been deleted that would label them as a 'deleter'
- alternately, make it so threads cannot be deleted by the thread creator
- alternately, make it so threads can only be deleted after petitioning by the thread author (and in most cases mods would refuse as the thread would contain the hard work of players responding)

N.B. editing or deleting posts obviously unaffected as we can just quote, thereby preserving the integrity/sense of the thread
