aimed at me??? What are the unintended consequences exactly?
I stand by my statement. What she did was wrong. Period.
She may have had her reason, but that doesn't make it right.

If someone has a reason for doing something, then maybe it's right of them to do it? And, who gets to determine that anyway? A bunch of people who don't have any idea what happened?

The community works together to help the community. It's a team effort. To turn your back on the team is wrong. If it's time for the next chapter of your life and you decide to leave... I understand. However, to rescind all contributions and benefits you were able to provide to a community who also helped you, is wrong.

It could just be social media clean up time. I've deleted stuff when I had to apply for jobs. It's not fun having people go back through everything you've ever posted online. I'm not sure how public she is in her new job, but maybe it has something to do with that. The old posts probably weren't helping people much anyway considering how much has changed recently.
Anyway, she has been a huge help for me and I was complaining about necroposting, so maybe it will work out for the best. There are a lot of people still on the forum that can answer most questions.

I agree with that statement. A lot of it was old and outdated information, but a lot of it was also relevant.
My statement is just how I feel about it. It's an opinion. I have strong feelings towards teamwork and loyalty. This situation makes me feel like all of that was thrown out the door.
At this point my statement has been made, so I'll leave it where it's at.
I wish her the best of luck in her future endeavors.

How do you know she wasn't asked to delete her posts? I mean, since you have zero idea what's going on, why would you assume that it's her doing this and not the owner of the forum?
I'm not saying it is or isn't, I'm just saying that since you don't know what's going on behind the scenes, maybe you don't judge until you do know.

I feel we should all give cook the benefit of the doubt, I'm sure she has a very good reason for doing this. As dfrecore said, you never know what truly is going on behind the scenes guys!

Hello DegreeForum community,
I just now noticed the latest developments in this thread and am as stunned and disappointed as the rest of you to learn that Jennifer went back and deleted all of her posts. We strictly keep users from doing that since it wreaks havoc on the organization of our forum and existing threads, results in broken links from the search engines, and in general, is just inconsiderate to the whole community. It was an abuse of the privilege I gave her as a long-standing member of the forum.
Regardless of her motives, someone as experienced as she was clearly knew the kind of damage her actions were going to do, so I don't think there's any reason to "withhold judgment." If she had really cared, she would have reached out to me or one of the moderators to find a solution that would work for everyone.

I just find the whole story unfortunate. Jennifer has done so much for this forum, to leave it on that note leaves a sour taste, no matter the reason.
On a slightly happier note, her posts are back to 2,800+. Initially, they were at 10,000+, then went down to less than 200, and now back up somewhat. Clearly, she must have been reconstituting them, and I assume, it is because she is reading this thread.
I wish her well, like I wish many people well, even if I don't always fully understand their actions.
