to ask who the fuck are the moderators on here and suggest that unless there was a very good reason to delete the HSBC thread - and I would like a very good reason - then this site is over-moderated

[activate]

and I am not 12

can you please treat us like grown-ups

thank you

I thought MN was unmoderated activate?

I did what I always do, and read the first page of a thread and then read the last. But I really am going to have to read all this one because I cant for the life of me work out the path from HSBC bank and the Tudors

Hi Activate

Introducing your moderators at MNHQ (in no particular order)...

Our policy, in general, is to let the conversation flow but we do have a few rules and guidelines. We really don't like deleting things as a rule but your thread title and OP about HSBC staff was reported as falling into the "beyond the pale" category and we agreed that it was a bit much. Sorry to those who disagree. It's always a judgement call but hopefully you'll have a clearer idea next time .

Generally we don't watch every thread but rely on members to report things they think are not on, many thanks as ever for you vigilance.

Night, peace and love to all.

It wasn't activate's thread title but there we are

You're quite right. My mistake. Apologies.

I think the system works pretty well. It's unusual but it is probably the reason the forum is the way it is. Most people are bright enough to work it out. I'm amazed at the patience they have actually. It must be quite tempting to go off on a power jag as an administrator, especially if you were once a poster and have your likes and dislikes.

anyway it's now all about history which I know not much about
