oz, IMHO, "B" is the best route to follow except in the case of a profanity being used. As a moderator, I totally disagree with the use of "A" for normal moderation practices, especially when it comes down to keeping a thread on topic.

When a topic is totally off topic for that board, I am in favor of locking and moving it to its correct home with a explanation of my actions. </font>
Thanks Rssrsvp - pleased to see another moderator post that is their preferred option.

My view is that particular option is open and transparent, and I hope it becomes universal policy - if indeed it is not already.

The furtive total deletion of posts that I witnessed recently by one Moderator - for quite some days on one thread [which were not off-topic at all] was not best practice nor desirable. IMHO of course.
