> [@Poptech](#): > > I agree it is in clear violation of the agreement and should be deleted. You agree that you were in clear violation of the Registration Agreement in posting that thread? Because it was in violation of what I cited whether it was in the Pit or in GD. We rarely delete threads except in the case of spam. And we don’t delete or lock threads simply because a poster requests it. And we especially don’t close threads just because a poster throws a tantrum in one. ---
