Removal of threads

[AB Editor]

Morning,

Two following 2 posts have been removed -

393530 - Drugs
393665 - Ed...Is this acceptable?

Both of these threads had escalated into complete drivel which was in turn offensive, abusive and completely unnecessary.

Please do not use the AnswerBank as a place to insult people. AB is a question and answer site with a good community full of knowledge and the majority of the time very helpful to each other.

Let's NOT turn AB into a place where no one wants to be

All in favour say aye!

[Craig007]

Well, you have turned the sport section into a place where no one wants to be so what is the difference?

[AB Editor]

Hi Craig

We are in the process of making changes to SAB which reflects what users have been saying the changes should be apparent in approx the next 15 minutes.

Let me know what you think after that Craig,

AB Ed

i agree that its not the right place for such insults and posts but why wasnt it pulled earlier, it appears that plenty of people reported it as soon as the address was posted.

[Craig007]

We are being taken for a ride here, just fobbed off with poor answer after poor answer by AB.

"making changes to SAB which reflects what users have been saying " is the latest nonsense, what the users have been saying is CHANGE SPORT BACK TO HOW IT WAS!!

[allotment10]

mrrobbo i would if i could... :-)
think i'd better take a chill pill!!

[AB Editor]

Hi,

The changes to SAB are now live, the SAB Ed blog says exactly what has been changed so feel free to take a look.

Allotment10 we try to answer as many questions as possible so thanks for highlighting those that are still waiting an answer I'll take a look at them.

here's a good football question in sports !

[allotment10]

i've just had a look ED, and i'm sorry to say it's still awful! why can't you just put it back the way it was ?

[netibiza]

Ed I admire you and the team for trying, and I'm sure it is a good thing, but I find it totally confusing, but luckily I very rarely venture into Sports anyway.

[enigma]

I think that the Ed has sufficiently answered everyone's questions in this one post Allotment10 , so there shouldn't really be any need to trawl through every post ( which let's face it , is all tantamount to the same thing anyway) to reiterate the same point. I can't see why so many posts on the same subject were required anyway and was there any need for the final comment of the last post in this thread ?

This is what is giving AB a bad name and making people turn off - not how the sports section , or any section for that matter , looks. Nobody liked the way the sub sections looked at first and there were dozens of posts berating that idea but no-one seems to mind now. I don't like a lot of the changes on here but I accept that as it's a free website , I have no claims over how it should look , nor try to impose any demands upon the Ed or tech team by stamping my feet or resorting to insults. It's the way it has always been and will continue to be , long after we move on to pastures new. There's a colossal difference between making your opinion known and being downright offensive when you don't get your own way.

[enigma]

Just a difference of opinion Craig , that's all but I assure you , my tongue is not brown. :-P

[jno]

being a bit of a grouch, aren't you Craig? Snarling not only at the ED but at anyone who dares to agree with her? Have you considered starting up your own sporting questions website? It's cheap and fun, and I can tell it would be absolutely wonderfully well run.
