How can 2 threads that I've been on just be deleted?

[1ris]

One about cleaning wood floors and the other about hot kitchen taps?

The mind boggles.

I think I was on one of the carpet threads and was a bit at the deletion message. Thanks for explaining Dramaalpaca

I did think housekeeping would be a bit lame for trolling!

Carpet smelling of sick thread is a current example.

Glad you agree with me, PickAChew, that's the one I mentioned above. I've reported it so it'll be interesting to see if it gets deleted.

Yes a lot of spamming going on in HK. I am on HK and AIBU the most, and have noticed LOADS of threads that are promoting something from DrBeckmann.

I'll be eyeing Amazon links with suspicion from now on.

This board has been infected by spammers - they keep copying word for word what I think are genuine posts from months ago. The majority of these fake repeated posts get a reply exactly 30 minutes later which contains the advertising link. I think they must be using some sort of program to do it for them.

It's really annoying - the number of times I've thought, 'this seems familiar' and lo and behold some spammer links to Amazon.

I recently responded to a post about a stain recommending a Dr Beckmann product, but I didn't link to it anywhere. It's not as if most of this stuff is difficult to find.

Aha, that makes sense. Was sad to lose a mop thread the other day - I really needed mop!

So thats probably why the 'cleaning curtains' thread was deleted, I couldn't imagine why it was gone.

Yes, the dreaded spammers! I was the poster who started the thread on Site stuff mentioned upthread, there were so many of them, they were too obvious, and it was getting really tiresome. Reported quite a few, and although it has died down a bit, I still see the odd one that looks a bit iffy, but CBA too bother reporting any more.

Nan I have reported shed loads of them. It's so irritating. I keep recognising threads! Genuine posters have taken the time to reply to what they thought was a real post, not some tiresome arse's attempt at advertising.

I know, Wow, I try not to take much notice any more, cos it makes my blood boil!

I was on the hot tap thread, I wondered why it had disappeared.
I'm also on a Zoflora thread. They'd best not touch that one! 😂😉

I think the housekeeping board is unofficially sponsored by zoflora prancer. I'm sure that thread will be ok.

There are at least 4 threads started by spammers today.
