Mod Name / Version: Don't delete posts with replies 1.0.0 <br /><br />
Description: I've decided that allowing posts with replies to be deleted, and then replacing the post with "deleted" is a silly feature.<br /><br />Here's a simple way to prevent posts with replies from being deleted. If someone wants to get rid of a post that has replies, he is forced to edit it instead, and hopefully leave an explanatory note. Or else he can contact a moderator or administrator to deal with it. <br /><br />
