I would agree that at least posts with photos should be removable. Some even include pay subs, contracts etc. Maybe there could be a box that you could ”tick” with photos (you could delete them)? Perhaps the forum doesn’t support such options.

It's also debatable how important the old threads actually are. I mean ”bumping” the old thread rarely gives any results (new posts), since official IMDb staff only reply 90% to the ”new threads”. There are hundreds of old threads, but basically we need to create a new one every time if we want some ”official” answers (which is what people often are after).

Also, the rules and guidelines change, so how important and up-to-date is a thread from 2013?

But there is merit in hiding obsolete threads from public view.

Joel,
Thank you for this in depth explanation. I do believe that these threads should indeed be removed. They do reveal the identity of the user, and I believe that is their concern. Additionally, it does not seem as though those particular threads have gained an immense amount of traffic, and there are several threads available on those issues. I hope you would consider the removal Joel:

Ed,
Thank you for your response, however, when this information is not exactly highlighted at the forefront of the website, I don't expect many of its users to be aware of this. I think this site will survive perfectly fine without these three threads. Just simply remove as requested, especially since it is the original content creator that has requested the action.

Read this Employee reply. There is NO sensitive info. These are not your posts. This subject has been broached many times. The result was no removal.
