Deleted Question?

[Spoonboy]

Please would someone explain why a question I put on allergies would be deleted? I have an idea, but I would like the person who reported it as offensive to explain why they considered it so?

[ummmm]

It might not have been reported, a mod might have removed it and they don't get to see reports.

[Spoonboy]

What's a mod?!!

[ummmm]

Users that also moderate the site.

They can remove threads or individual answers, suspend people and ban people.

[Spoonboy]

Without a fight, that's criminal!!

[ummmm]

Sometimes thread removals don't make sense.

Some threads disappear when only a few answer removals are warranted.

[Spoonboy]

Thanks for clarifying that part with me. A well deserved BA, and I might throw in one my PSA's as well.

Spoonboy....LOL...ummmm has given you all the answers including the BA.

I can only add that on many occasions the rhymes and reasons for post removals is so obscure that one can only assume that the complainer or the mod involved have had total humour lobectomy.

Hope that helps.

well said sqad.

No no modz have a difficult job and are very wonderful beeble.

Having been deleted but not yet suspended,

it can be commenting on a current criminal case along with others protesting they have every right to comment (they don't)

it can be comment that looks libellous (in the eye of the mod)
especially common around the time of the Bercow case

it can be lawful comment but they just don't like - at a college I attended the teenagers could be suspended for saying in bad English to another bad English speaker (which they were trying to learn) - you are terroreesten!
No sense of humour there then

Advertising

spamming - if you post the same question 20 times in two minutes it and you will go

abuse; a squaddie threw away (using the well known 360' closed eyes tecnic they teach in the army) a knife he HADNT stabbed someone with but someone else had. What should he do now that he was accused of.....
I unkindly asked if they also taught the shooting-yourself-in- the foot tecnic ? coz he had obviously taken the lesson to heart. [obviously the knife would exonerate him as it wouldnt have his prints but someone else's on it]


and finally - if you have an idea - dont do it again !

Still, it beggars the question why one is not given the chance to appeal their corner!


Thank you all for answering.
