Aargh! The annoyance of going to look at a thread you've been on and enjoying and finding this message in its place. The worst part is not knowing or being able to work out why.

I was on a thread a day or two ago that I thought was pretty benign and inoffensive, so was mystified and disappointed to find it deleted and having broken guidelines. It must have taken a very bizarre turn!

AIBU to wish there was just a little explanation, literally one or two words as to what was done wrongly when the "broken guidelines" message appears, be it on a post or whole thread? Would help us not make the same mistake again, after all!

It is annoying isn't it?

I also find that a lot of posters have been really rather rude recently on here. It's like PMS on steroids isn't it

I don't know I feel like some posts are written and they are not genuine, not particularly a troll just someone who's looking to occupy their time and get a bit of sympathy so they write posts about things that sound a bit sad?

Its getting trolled a lot at the moment so most of the time a thread is deleted because it's been started by a previously banned poster.

They will start benign threads to try and build up a 'normal' posting history before hitting us with the weird shit.
