I never thought about copy and paste - that's a great idea!
I take notes, especially when I've asked for advice, when someone has recommended a book or cookbook, when someone has recommended a beauty product - or any recommendation, things like that.

@TurnerGalHi, I copy and paste from the recipe thread all the time and email to myself. Maybe you can do that? HTH.
I get frustrated too when a bit of important, interesting or helpful thread/comment gets poofed. So I c/p what I want when I see it.

@Mz iMac - 🤦♀️ Can't believe I didn't think of that. I always try to print recipes from here, but can't. TY. Hi, Chi-Chi. 💜

@Kachina624 - I think a lot of people don't post because they're afraid of all the nasty comments they'll receive - It's been mentioned in the past.

I sure do! Sometimes I'll see the topic and wonder how such an innocuous subject could turn argumentative. Many days, I only stop in for a short time and wish I could read all of the earlier comments. I think the moderators should delete single statements and leave the majority of comments. Also, deal with chronic troublemakers with a timeout.

I get the feeling the mods are swamped with CS chores and no longer have the time for or interest in the boards and don't want to bother with monitoring posts so they just delete them.
@Kachina624 I too have thought perhaps the 'preemptive strikes' were on the increase... and, like you, have also wondered whether it ultimately makes any sense to have the same group both providing CS and monitoring posts... Seems a real disconnect to me and, agree, has probably resulted in certain shortcuts that impact the fun factor... I don't think people are necessarily opting out due to 'airing of grievances' as much as because interesting conversation and topics seem to be increasingly proscribed... Personally, I don't think the occasional rumble is such a bad thing...

@TurnerGal et al, next to the "reply" button (top of the thread) there is an "option" menu. Click on that, scroll down, and you'll see "Printer Friendly Page." It cleans out superfluous formatting. BTW, you can also 'copy/paste' that page. {Edited to add} Or, you can choose to highlight and copy/paste just the portions you actually want.

No never have I wanted to do that. And I do not think the mods are too aggressive about removing whole threads. It's far too much work to pick them apart and pull out what might be offensive. Maybe if people think they want to do that they should apply for the job.

Agree with you @occasionalrain . A couple of years ago when I was still watching This Is Us we got into a discussion about weight. Approximately eight posts were removed because someone complained we were fat shaming. After someone posted a comment to the Mod she actually understood where we were coming from. She read through all the deleted posts and restored all but two. That would never happen now.
