Can we have a 'Deleted Threads' topic?

I think being able to read - but not comment on - troll threads would help to hone trolldars.

I started a thread asking if we should deal with deleted threads differently yesterday and my bloody thread got deleted.

I think it would be better if the thread was left locked for say 24 hours so people could still read it but not comment then it was just the deletion message.

But if people can still read it all they can still become invested/upset etc. People miss the big fuck off Zombie & warning on Zombie threads so good chance they'd miss this warning, although with it locked at least they couldn't post like they do on Zombie's

Please don't call it The Graveyard.

Just a thread in SS entitled Deleted should be enough for pps to find ?

The only thing anyone needs to think after seeing that a thread has been deleted is 'that was a troll I will now move on with my life and give the attention seeker no more attention'

Which is all well and good if you know that the thread was deleted and read the deletion message. That would be the point of moving them to The Graveyard so posters could check there rather than start a TAAT to ask where it went.

I think it's a great idea. Just the thread title and the deletion message.

Calling it The Graveyard would work but just calling it Deleted Threads and putting it in Site Stuff might be better as it isn't anything special. Nothing for trolls to aim for. Just deleted, title moved into Deleted Threads and no fanfare or hundreds of TAATs.

Threads that have been deleted are still there with a deletion message, the trolls will be able to see them once they've been zapped anyway.

Where? I use the mobile site and unless I've posted or watched them they just vanish.

I can't see deleted messages on the app - I've been sucked into three of the bloody things and thy just vanish

I like this idea! Not Sin Bin though, occasionally threads are deleted for other reasons like op being outed & not just trolls.
The graveyard sounds good. Or No TAATs Allowed. That's s bit rubbish. I'll have a think of more

Case in point, another conifer thread started just now

Miffle - I think a lot of people read threads without posting on them.

So you get half way through a thread (often before it kicks off), go off to make dinner / feed the cat / pick the kids up / whatever and it's gone. Then you start a TAAT saying "what happened?" and everyone gets cross because you dared to be interested in something and you're not psychic.

With a Deleted Threads bit you can just look in that, see it's been deleted and wander off and do something else.

It is really annoying that deletions don't appear on the iPhone app - could this be altered?

I don't see the need for a separate corner if the title and deletion message is visible on TIO. Am I missing something? Probably

You could call it
"I'm just here for the deletion message"
as that is what many posters use to rubberneck a thread.

Or even "Rubberneckers"

I quite like Sin Bin.

I think it's a good idea - yes, just thread title and deletion message. You probably only need to leave it there for a week tbh. 30 days might be giving them too much attention.

I dont want to "watch" every thread I read and I don't want to post on everything either!

Deleted threads arent visible on the iphone app which is all i usually use. I think this thread idea is a really good idea!!

Quite often I report a thread, but wanting to see the deletion message I also have to post on it. This way would be far better.

Ah, misunderstood. If it's just the title and deletion message that's fine with me. I suspect other posters on this thread are angling for the whole threads to be readable.

I think it's a great idea, with only the deletion message visible, and 30 days as you say.

Dead Threads?

Or 'THIS is what happened, now STOP MAKING TAATs'

The Curiosity Thread or The Urban Myths Corner

Well more fool them. There is no point banging on about how annoying trolls are and about how upset you are for giving time and attention to trolls and then giving them more attention rather than learning just to ignore the fuckers.

NO IT IS A TERRIBLE IDEA.

It will be a troll magnet. I can only assume all of the people posting here thinking it's a good idea are trolls.
