I was wondering if there is a specific reason for either one of these. Thanks for any explanation.

Hi TCGirl and welcome to the Forum. Good question.
There was a Delete feature on TOTV for a while, and it allowed a poster to delete an entire post and make it disappear.
And then the Delete feature went away, not sure why it was eliminated.
As previous posters have said, now a poster can go back and pull up a previous post, and delete the body of the post by using a symbol of some sort, but the post remains.
I think it's probably used when posters have changed their mind, or perhaps regretted a comment they made.
