What happens to a post once it is pulled? Is it archived and saved and if so, where?

The recent discussion on this Board implies that the removal of a post or thread is commonplace. This is simply not true. There have been less than 10 threads removed from this Discussion Board since it was launched over 12 years ago, with less than 5 in the past year. Following are examples of posts that have been removed:

Posts that provided confidential information regarding the LS Exam
Posts that include the work product of another without his/her knowledge or consent
Posts that could lead to potential inadvertent violations of the Antitrust Law, putting both the Association and members at risk.

Please note the author of a post has the ability to pull his/her own post. If the author is the thread-starter and decides to delete his/her post, then the entire thread is removed. There have been numerous threads and posts deleted by authors with no request by Administrator.

If anyone has questions, they are welcomed and encouraged to contact the CLSA Central Office, Officers, or Board of Directors.

Thank you. Can you answer my question? What happens to the post once it is removed? Is it stored somewhere? I would like to know where this information goes. It makes no sense to contact anyone else but whoever is running this board.

The question is very simple.

According to the rules of etiquette, CLSA can move the postings. Who is CLSA? This is what it says:

"CLSA reserves the right to delete, move, or edit messages..."

Can you please clarify? Who is CLSA?

Thank you.

When a thread/post is deleted by Administrator it is physically removed from the database. It is not archived or able to be viewed again.
