Harvey--

A lot in your post rings true for me too.  The two individuals that deleted their Nabble accounts (and messages) had difficulty in abiding by the "house rules" of the forum and therefore made the forum hard to administer.  When their messages were deleted, the topics / threads became hard to follow.

However, because slanderous behavior could lead to legal problems, moderation is a requirement for the private forum.  

A public forum may be wide open to any comments a person (under an alias) might want to make, but a private forum implies there is a restriction for entry/acceptance and that places additional responsibility on the administrator to conduct the private forum within legal boundaries.

At least that is how I feel I must approach the problem.  (And why more control is needed by forum administrators)
