I'm still here for you *hugs you* but its just not the same without them:(

Jen.

:bawling:

James. I just don't get it. I feel like nobody can say anything around here no more. Did I miss something? What did they do so bad?

We are mourning the loss of them. I dont think I can live without them for a whole day :bawling:

I'm just completley puzzled by the general bannings? Especially Billys after he made 1 thread asking why Tom was banned it's a bit on the overly strict side don't you think?

They spammed, which is against rules. Even if it wasn't harmful, it a newbie spammed random threads people would be up in arms.
(Not inc. Billy).

Well fyi we all wanna know why you banned them.

ily babygurl :hug:

ILY to:hug:

Points to a few posts up*

They did that because they wanted answers, they didn't get them they just got banned.

I was trying to be constructive. Lol. If things aren't explained the posts carry on....

U2U :whistle:

There are your answers

Yeah. Because the threads were deleted with no explanation.

To answer this... the type of topics that were deleted were ones asking about moderating decisions / members banned etc. Those type of topics quite often descend into arguing between different parties so it is not worth keeping them on the forum. If you want an answer it is better to u2u someone.

They weren't deleted immediately, they were closed for a while and then deleted.

Can you make a thread somewhere where it has titles of deleted threads and why they were deleted?

Ex.

Please Eat My Cat - Deleted for Spam

The thread I was referring to was the one about arista saying 'one eyed Scottish Brown' over and over again.

I was politely asking him to stop.

There were no replies to it when I went offline. It was gone when I got back.

If it descended into an argument, then of course it would be locked, but I question if complete removal is necessary.

If you hadn't removed that thread, and others like it, and had locked it instead, maybe there wouldn't have been the 'spam' situation afterwards.

Some forums have a section where locked threads are kept for a month then deleted/removed to admin.

Maybe that's something worth thinking about as it lets members see where a thread went and the reasons why.

Most members appreciate that sometimes threads get heated and need locked, but this 'disappearing threads' thing is getting a bit old to be honest.

That's just my opinion, for what it's worth.


PS. I gather some people were banned after I logged out last night for spamming. Maybe that could have been avoided if questions were simply just answered.

Maybe it could have been avoided if they just U2U/MSN an admin and ask why it was deleted :blush:
