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?

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 have been spamming the forum with the same thread over and over again.

It's pretty annoying and people have complained about it.

And they did nothing harmful to the forum or anyone on it.

UGH, ****** up tbh.

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

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

There are your answers

[Mrluvaluva]

Yeah. Because the threads were deleted with no explanation.

My gripe is this...

I make a thread, then I'm offline for a bit, and when I come back, the thread is gone with no explanation.

If it was locked, then I'd be able to see that it was locked, and there'd be a post from admin explaining why.

But, this 'thread disappearing act' can be rather frustrating.

That's all.

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.

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
