Ok I know it wasnt relevant and neither is this, But why was my question removed asking why other questions were removed?

Did I offend anybody?

[ummmm]

It's getting a bit silly now don't you think?

[spurslady]

Too right it is. Is the new ed over enthusiastic to make a good impression or are people getting so bitter and twisted they cant stand the fact that a group of people who don't necessarily know each other get on and have a laugh?

Or both....

Hi spurs & um

Was that the one where I asked how some peeps are banned (outright) and others are just zapped (post/thread) and return to (rightly) have a moan?

Nobody has yet to answer the difference when the harpies get their fingers working to upset everyone.

I think AB is struggling for questions as it is at the minute since its overhaul,never mind zapping the ones that are there! Stupidity!
It seems it really doesnt take much to offend anyone anymore does it?

[bednobs]

if you've had a question asking why your question was removed removed, why post another question asking why that one was removed? Whats the point? This is the body and soul section. Would you post in science asking why questions had been removed? Sorry, i know i sound grumpy but come on, this could go on all day with the question being removed, and you asking why. I would guess the posts are being removed for a reason so there is no reason to suspect that this one will not be removed also is there? To be honest, i havent reported any, but it makes my report finger itchy when people make posts moaning about posts being removed, clogging up the section that is supposed to be for people asking q's about body and soul. I know i mKE myself unpopular having this view, but im just trying to honestly make you understand why your posts may have been banned : ie they have nothing to do with this section and are a bit boring to carry on reading

[spurslady]

So why read this one and bother to answer it?

[unruliejulie]

i think you have a point bednobs, most definitely, but the thing is, the questions shouldnt be being removed in the first place. This wouldnt occur then and in defense of spurslady, it is infuriating to not know why a question of yours has been removed.

Did you guys see the Q asked last night on someone asking for advice on google earth? Two people answered, guiding them to Technology, as it would be a better place to get an informed answer (admittedly one did give a sarcy comment about their hair colour). Boy, did they get a tongue lashing from her!! One came back apologising but explaining that the wise ones in techy (who do not always venture into b&s) would give her good advice and that is why they directed her there. They did finish their apology with a "Chill it" (rightly so - the originator was very OTT) and received another Blast from her.
All because they were advised to post in another category.
Somebody else joined in and told the two peeps to fcuk off!!

The ABer with the sword & mask was banned last night for calling me & another ABer to;' F... off & die' ! Charming.

[unruliejulie]

all in a usual day in the answerbank! lol

[dunaplimsoll]

Oh and I forgot - that post hit cyberspace too, and I did not see either the originator or her guard dog on the site for the rest of the evening!!

[dunaplimsoll]

Yes carrust, I knew it was you and the other aber but did not wish to name names!!

[unruliejulie]

I think a post should be removed when it descends into nastiness and name calling . It happens too often and that doesn't make for pleasant reading. Harmless questions and answers are no problem and should stay as should any debates regardless of whether you agree with the views posted..

[-Zorro-]

carrust...why were u being nasty to a woman for no reason, just for posting an innocent question.

Dont go playing the innocent victim here. I only snap at people who have wronged me or others. I have no desire to come on here and have battles for the sake of it

[carrust]

I'll admit I was a bit sarky over the hair colour, but she did admit in the original post that she was a 'bit thick'. I was only trying to lighten the mood a bit. Some people on here tend to be anally retentive at certain times dont you think?

[spurslady]

But you could be offending a whole different type of people with the anal bit..........................

[notfrom-oz]

they could call it unanswerbank!!oranswer bann!!!

i do amuse myself!!

[spurslady]

Yeah start up a whole new site called The Ones They Tried to Ban....

[notfrom-oz]

or dont bother writing anything here bank!

[spurslady]

How would you go about starting up somewhere like this?

Interesting There is a market for it out there.......
