Pruning (Deletion)
I don't wish to step on toes, however the Q&A section is filled with non-relevant posts and threads. This is a humble plea to start pruning your posts & threads. By pruning, I mean deleting. Below is a proposed guide for pruning...

When should I prune my thread?
*. If it gets marked a duplicate and the thread has nothing to add to its counterpart.
*. If it is off-topic chat about: reaching bronze/silver/gold/platinum/etc, introducing yourself, an anecdote unrelated to SL's purpose and programming, or cause/suhgestion that's seen little enthusiasm in a week.
*. A stagnant thread (<5 replies in a week) with no information of value.
*. Like storms or like storms pretending to be legitimate threads.
*. Birthday and other similar threads (nobody cares, they just want likes).
When should I prune my post?
*. If, after reviewing it, you realise it's not useful.
*. If it's been down-voted to a negative.
*. If it's shameless self-promotion: anything from threadjacking to post your non-relevant code to posting links to your own threads (unless to illustrate "asked & answere"). You know what you're posting and why.
*. If some posted a better answer before you (you should not have posted, but still).
This is just a rough idea. There are special circumstances. Use your better judgement. I'll update and refine this over time.
I hope this is taken is the spirit it's intended and we can try (I'm not perfect either) to build a better SL together :)
