Thread deletion

[geekpi]

I gather that before fully immersing oneself in life on the boards, it is protocol (according to the word of a certain Mr O. Kart anyway) to post a topic, so here’s mine.

Thread deletion – having just been in the middle of reading a thread that got deleted, I can’t help but briefly wonder: What was it exactly that got the thread deleted? Did somebody swear in a later post that I hadn’t got to yet (cue sounds of woeful disappointment)? Did someone have a go at someone else? Did someone decide that the thread was “abusive, offensive”? Was it the original post that caused the deletion or a followup? If a followup then surely that post alone could have been deleted rather than the entire thread? If the original post needs to be deleted then does that mean the rest have to go too? What if a fascinating and interesting point was made later and that gets lost forever?

So many questions! Answers on a postage stamp if you can be bothered, I’m making tea.

Yes I noticed it , it can’t be because it was abusive, far more abusive threads and posts on these boards that are still here, it can’t be the swearing, lots and lots of swearing on many posts that are still here, seems unfortunate for the original poster, and rather convenient for the person mentioned in the post ………………

Doubt we’ll ever receive a proper and decent answer,,, shame

Hellooooooooooooooooooo geek! nice to see you here….boards are improving…a few new posters….really nice

Re the thread….Im guessing because there were accusations on the thread that could not be proved ….well as far as the posting was concerned no proof was put forward…ie extract from the room…maybe proof does exist (its a large first class stamp)

Thanks for the welcome Kenty  

This “proof” thingummie that you refer to sounds fascinating, imagine that    Ah I didn’t expect a proper answer anyway, just found it amusing to have a thread deleted while reading it, but I guess it’s not the first or last time that’ll happen.

Do you know that the sed person actually talks to people and entices people to bully.She talks to joker and believes everything he says.the bully in the room actually know before they bully that they will get away with it.She actually had me believing that this was the way to go.Anything so we wont out the bully.She has made them her personal friends.All you need it seems is her phone number, to text her and your gone.
