So I come back to find that you have deleted my thread asking why my Santa thread was deleted.

Of course it was a thread about a thread, it was asking a question about the thread.

Wtf else is one supposed to do?

I put it in site stuff.

It was also a really nice friendly thread full of poetry and laughs. Why why why why was it deleted? What the hell is going on there?

Secondly, if one wants to talk about something, and that something has been deleted purely owing to others mischief, does that mean that one is never to talk about that subject again??

How mad is that?

lol affect us all
its a website hull
Honestly i have BEEN there - go and get a nice cup of tea instead :)

Or here's a thought.

People should stop insulting other people when they disagree with them.

Then the threads won't get deleted.

It's out there I know, but I think it could work.

It wasn't even much about that, it was mostly poetry n shit.

Please ask Amy to stop knee jerk deletions.

The second thread was nothing like the first. I lurked, it was fun.

Actually. Can we have a self moderated Oldies topic? If you don't want another Moldies-style mutiny?

BUT THE SECOND THREAD DIDN'T

IT ASKED A VALID QUESTION AND THEN TURNED INTO POETRY

You admit you hadn't read it.

How bloody infuriating do you think that is??

And please answer:

And could you explain why a thread on SITE STUFF asking why a thread was deleted = "a thread about a thread?"

And EXACTLY HOW ELSE IS ONE SUPPOSED TO ASK THAT QUESTION?

it's not a blanket rule at all - and I admit to not having seen the second thread in all it's glory but we tend to remove it if it rehashes the same points as the first and turns into another thread just like the first one.

You can of course ask us why etc - that's what we are here for - we don't want to shut down debate at all.

I feel really frustrated about all this because it is so blatantly unfair.

I know damn well a load of people go, oh look, that thread's by Hully, let's have a pop/let's report, and then all MNHQ do is also say oh look, there's Hully's name. Let's just delete it all and save ag.

Having a blanket thread-about-a-thread must DIE policy is a bit bonkers, tbh.

This ^^ with santa's sleighbells on.

Good point and if this thread goes too as it's a thread about a thread about a thread then you'll never get your answer, you're effectively being silenced.

That is nonsense Rebecca.

Debate is just that, debate. It is what was being had on that thread.

And could you explain why a thread on SITE STUFF asking why a thread was deleted = "a thread about a thread?"

And EXACTLY HOW ELSE IS ONE SUPPOSED TO ASK THAT QUESTION?
