inconsistency in applying site rules?

barmonkey

Funny how any treads questioning the mods get removed and then threads asking where the previous threads went also disappear , the recent one about things we would like to see on this forum went and the one about signatures was locked without any good reason.

j.e.j.

Apologies for digging up my thread again, but this sort of random applying of the rules for medical advice is still going on.

A lot.

Perhaps I shouldn't keep harping on about it, given that the man himself has replied :money: but I am just flummoxed as to why certain threads like this one are locked suddenly without explanation:

..while others (take a quick glance on the Marriages board ) which are actually discussing and giving a lot of medical advice are still up and running. Perhaps they are deemed to be ok..

It begs the question, how can we obey the site rules if we are not sure exactly what they are..

its all a question of how many people report a particular thread/post and sometimes it even matters who complains.

A BG will lock a thread if they are unsure and leave it up to the forum team to make the decision.

Well, at least you got a reply to your (earlier) question about the rules ... :whistle:
