Is there or will there be a way to remove posts of breaking news? The info posted about the crash on I77 was helpful but is time sensitive. Once any breaking news has passed then what happens to the posts? Will this info stay listed indefinitely?

I would hope these forums are operated like any other I’ve frequented or moderated - posts are only removed if they violate the site’s terms and conditions.  Personally, I like to have a history of events.  It doesn’t hurt anything keeping the information on the site, and those seeking more details about the event might find it useful.

I’m in no hurry to remove anything but wonder if everything should be kept forever just because someone posted it. Events have a different impact for different people. Those involved in the accident on I77 yesterday will remember it for a long time, how useful they find the postings a month or year or longer from now is anybodies guess.

Dan is correct, we will not be removing anything unless it violates the terms of use.
