I was an MVP for something like 12 years, and I can tell you that MVPs CANNOT delete posts. Whatever happened to you, it was NOT an MVP deleting your post. -- Tim Slattery Slattery_T(a)bls.gov http://members.cox.net/slatteryt

Moderators there, some of whom are MVPs, can delete posts. If moderators are deleting posts simply because they're critical of MS, then there probably won't be many MVP+moderators left after a short while.

Perhaps the MS guidelines allow for it. At this point, it's all second-guessing. Only MS and the Moderators know for sure. : : : |
