I know WHAT it is; it's a method of removing them from view without actually deleting them. Devshed does it quite a bit for suppression of (even non-flammable) dissent. I just don't understand how it would "benefit" the forum to hide the fact that people received help. I don't believe it would make any one "appreciate" the forum more. More likely they would move on upon finding what appeared to be an unhelpful forum.
