wow. that kind of remark might have been considered Peak Edgelord Trolling in 1998. By today’s internet standards, it’s just pathetic. ---

Should this get locked too then? > [@Leave a trace?](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/leave-a-trace/480978): > > Hello, comments are getting deleted without a trace. I propose the comment say Removed by moderator instead of completely disappearing. It helps any reader understand why the responses might not make sense, because he is unaware that comments have been removed. Have a nice day. ---

So EVE online and the forums are both PEGI-12 or PG-13 rated. While CCP cant control online interactions between players they can try to moderate as best they can. Now, the forums on the other hand, anyone can read without signing up. That means a teen can read the forums before making an account and trying EVE. Deleted comments or locked threads are done for a reason. And the ISDS highlight why threads are closed. I think they should take it a step further and unlist the bad ones, but leaving them locked only can help too. ---

I think you are sending a bad signal to teens if you deny them the ability to see what an offending comment said. For example they wont learn what was offensive but also you are saying they cant handle it. ---
