How long should a thread be left up after we are informed it is going to be deleted?

Because I don't think that four minutes is enough of a warning, I really don't Sad

You know it will just mean threads about threads, because people who don't press F5 every minute see what looks like a totally valid question getting wiped out.

If we are going to invoke the Olympic Spirit, may I politely suggest one that leans towards London rather than Beijing?

'it's now* exceedingly clear ...'. Not 'it's not exeedingly clear ...' in my post at 20:08.

I blame MN. I used to be literate and everything before I came on here.

ohChristFENTON · 31/07/2012 20:09

Someone care to fill me in on what's happened while I've been watching the Olympics? You can talk in code if you like - I think I kind of get the gist....

I think I may be taking a holiday from here, I know, I know stop yer blubbing.

LRDtheFeministDragon · 31/07/2012 20:08

getorf, your name makes me snigger in a mature and dignified way every time I see it. Smile

She's not a child, mary, even if you do think it's right to tell children to do that.

She didn't even get a reply when she told MN she didn't do what they said. I can see why whoever got the email thought she wasn't wanting one, but it's not exceedingly clear she would actually like to know what the heck happened, so I am hoping they'll get in touch and hammer it all out.

I've never been warned for anything (smug arselicker that I am), so I don't know what happens - but if you're saying you've been warned loads, and she's been warned for one post on one thread plus possibly something else ... it does seem like they got it wrong this time.

Despite, of course, being utterly wonderful.

In fact, I reckon Olivia is so wonderful, BOF substituted olive for laurel just as a subtle tribute to her loveliness.

Etc. etc.

I can't take the credit - honeydragon thought of this name and told me to change it. Grin

We have got a lot in common, cocolepew, but there are some crucial differences I don't take it up the arse.

I'm sooooo jealous of your Olympic name, GetOrf. I couldn't think of one, and even if I could, it would never be as rude Sad

cocolepew · 31/07/2012 19:58

I always get Bof and Reality mixed up. Apropos of nothing really.
