As for followers, how does this affect the deletion of my topic? Yes, they themselves won't be able to delete it, but I can. It's not difficult for me to delete these topics over time. I actually told Zubr that when he made his suggestion. However, Zubr started writing to me, asking me to delete such topics immediately. I refused.
Amko, if I deleted someone's topic in the off-topic section, the author would immediately start messaging me on ICQ. Some do this even when I delete off-topic messages.
