I am not sure what singular attack you are referring to. I recall reading through that thread you mentioned. I don't spend much time on that subforum, but I recall that people felt like they wanted to keep all bipolar together because they didn't want to dilute the activity level.

If it's not about the post deletion then what is it? Your post asked what we think about the policy. You must have expected that at least some people would be fine with it, even if you are not. So far I haven't heard any argument from you on why this policy should be changed other than you don't like it. You say there's an exodus of members, but I don't see any evidence of that, specifically in regards to the post-deletion minimum. Members do often leave the community, but it's for a variety of reasons. Those of us that support the policy have expressed why.

To some extent people have to be responsible for what they put out there, even on an anonymous site. There are many ways to retract information besides a post deletion if you really need to.

1. People can modify their own post, up to 4 hours.
2. People can ask admin to modify their own post.
3. People can ask admin to delete up to 5 posts.
4. People can deactivate their accounts, which will remove their username associated with an account. Then they can start a new account with a new username if they need to cover tracks, so to speak.

I think if you could present a valid reason for changing the policy, you'd get more traction.

As for the other things, I can't speak to those. If what you posted about is not what the post is about, then I really don't know how to respond or provide support. I'd like to help.
