When there is dissent against AC is it the best solution to move the tread to the restricted access forum?
Wouldn't it be preferable to instead have mods remove/edit posts that don't comply with the forums guidelines so that the general sentiment remains public?
I am concerned that AC have a say in how they are represented in this 'independent' forum which they no longer 'officially support'.

At least one post on the thread was judged to be potentially libellous towards the borrower. By moving the thread to the private board it is easier for the discussion to continue, and will minimise the reprecussions the poster of that post (and anyone requoting it) might face if they were persued by the borrower for libel. (Smaller audience etc).
Two separate forum members raised concerns about the thread remaining cachable by google on the main forum, and hence I moved it. AC made no representations to forum staff concerning the thread.
Whilst the potentially libellous post was what caused me to act, forum staff were getting more than a little tired of the almost daily need to redact the borrowers identity on posts made on the thread.
Access to the private board is available to anyone with an AC account, so the sentiments expressed in the thread are still available to anyone with an AC account.
