[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Jeff--I think it might be better in case #3, to leave the thread and lock it.  Maybe removing a handful of the later off-topic or rude posts.  But as long as it isn't a troll (like the one today), there are a lot of people who are interested in the topic that may not get to see the later responses.  I know that when I get busy, I sometimes only get to check DCUM once a day or every other day.  If there were one or two threads that were interesting, I'll go back to check on them, only to find that they may have been deleted and I don't get to read the later pages before it goes completely off-topic.

Plus, if it is a topic that had helpful information on the earlier pages, then someone might want to reference the thread later, a month or two, or even a year or two later, for the helpful information from the earlier pages.[/quote]

This is a good suggestion and something I actually try to do when time allows. I deleted a thread today that I probably could have handled differently, but I took one look, considered what else I had to do, and hit the delete key because I simply didn't have time for anything else.
