Sorry, I wasn't clear. Obviously someone will have administrative access to the server and database. What I'm more concerned about is the ability to do this without a trace via the Sycamore interface. I think that there should be *some* record of data purges, if for no other reason than to let folks know that something happened. No matter how trustworthy the site admins are, they can still make honest mistakes and thus should have their actions subjected to community review. I say this in my present position as an admin on the server that Wiki Spot runs on.
