A moan about a thread deletion

Sorry to be a bit over-invested in what was just random chat. Chippednailvarnish's thread was fun though. I know it started off as "why are there so many first time posters posting dodgy threads", which could be seen as policing who can or cannot start a thread. But if that was beyond the pale, it should have been zapped immediately. It developed into a fun thread. Quite a few of MNHQ posts, too. It was allowed to stand all evening and all morning and then went. Yes, there were a couple of minor arguments, one got dissolved last night, before and during some of HQ's posts.

There were so many people on there. The deleting of a jocular comment was already weird, the "victim" of that joke said she got the joke, no problem, it's funny. It wasn't grand politics. What was it then? The discussion over fuck to rhyme with duck or look? Or troll-doll, troll-foal? Even this morning peace broke out over a frozen shoulder after a short argument.

It really makes me feel censored. Not because it was so important, but because it was such trivial fun and got zapped.

Anything else plastic I need to know about ?

ScrambledSmegs · 13/04/2016 21:04

Shipping? Eh?

I've missed something, haven't I? This is what happens when I garden like a mo-fo engage with RL.

Chippednailvarnish · 13/04/2016 21:05

The thread had no mention of penis. Beakered or otherwise.

I still don't understand why some people namechange for every single thread. Especially if you're starting threads on such controversial subjects like "doesn't a member of the royal family look happy" or "mil is wearing her wedding dress to my wedding" or "kanye West is a deity"....
