Removing a URL in a post

When a post is made and people contribute answers to an issue, that then becomes part of the community resource for others to benefit from. Deleting posts removes this added value. Forum topics will only be edited or deleted if they represent a valid legal, security, or safety concern.

Can the URL just be removed? It will not lessen the value of the post.

Hi there,

As per our forum welcome entry, we don’t modify posts once they’ve gone past the period where the user can edit it them selves.

If you would link the post in question, I’d be happy to look at it and see if there’s any actual reason for it needing to be moderated, but on general grounds, we do not change them, not have you mentioned why it should be modified.

The client does not want their site posted in a public forum and we were not in a position to include that information in the thread.

The link to the thread is here.

I have seen other posts were URLs were removed after the fact. I understand this is not something you usually do, but it would be tremendously appreciated if an exception could be made.

Thank you!

I redacted the link.

Despite the removal actions above, I have been informed that you tracked down one of our moderators contact information and sent them a text message regarding this matter.

That is *unacceptable* behavior. It qualifies as harassment.
