How long should a thread be left up after we are informed it is going to be deleted?

[LeB0F]

Because I don't think that four minutes is enough of a warning, I really don't

You know it will just mean threads about threads, because people who don't press F5 every minute see what looks like a totally valid question getting wiped out.

If we are going to invoke the Olympic Spirit, may I politely suggest one that leans towards London rather than Beijing?

I wasnt even half way through that last one

In answer to your title, it should be left long enough for me to read the whole bloody thing without having to remember to open in a second tab, find my glasses and revisiting the spread sheet.

I lost the end.

They aren't normally deleted that quickly, are they? I thought they were left up for a while to ensure posters have a chance to read it and therefore don't need to start a "what happened to..." thread.

What happened?

I've got to delete my app now and reload as its crashed it. Rather fucking annoying...

Four minutes was the warning we'd get of nuclear attack in the Cold War. If it was good enough for that...

Btw I'm in browser setting with tit by proxy writing on the sodding iPad so will soon need more whiskey and tramadol to sooth my headache

one thing I did learn on the last thread is that Tramadol is good stuff.
hitherto unfamiliar with the product

I learnt about boiled piss

Tramadol is fantastic as long as you don't mind not remembering half the threads you have posted on the night before.

You could become a sock puppet and not even realise it...........

Someone was being disingenuous.

But some lone soul thought there was bullying afoot.

Stranded is not Stealth. Tramadol and whiskey are good.

Northern rocks, and is a cool dude. Not in a banking kind of way.

Oh crap, I sound like Gabby.

I am so not his sock puppet! Eurgh.

Is Tramadol available over the counter?

< curious >

Am I the poor lone soul?

This is where locking the thread would be a good idea. Everyone can see what has gone on and it avoids all the 'why was that deleted' threads.

I'm in browser setting with tit by proxy

WTF? Mama

And thank fuck I'm on the laptop now as I've already fucked up my iphone with the first one being deleted.

NOT HAPPY, MNHQ.

tit by proxy - what a great typo!

with titchy writing but I like tit by proxy better! Lol thanks auto correct apple

Nooo, sorry Usual!

I guess there might have been a pair of souls. Or soles.

I think I missed you in the final rush.

Switching to iPhone while I reload app on here

Was this banning from a thread ages ago?

ususl it was sh someone

FFS! I just went to strain my chicken stock (not a euphemism) and whoosh! it was gone...
