Forum:Removing talk page messages

Recently, I've noticed The Nitrome Yeti removing certain talk page messages he made. Now, one message he removed because it seemed a bit odd and didn't really contribute to the page. Should talk page messages actually be removed after they have been posted?

Even if they do seem a bit odd, I don't think they should be removed after they have been posted, for the reason that the message was posted on the page, and even if it breaks the rules it should still stay. We don't penalize users for accidentally breaking talk page rules by removing their messages, do we? So this being said, I would like to pass a rule that prohibits the removal of talk page messages.
