NHS Vent (Thread Removed)

SpammyTheSpammer

Odd, I started this yesterday as a jokey comment about Nigel Farage's recent experience with the NHS and it is now gone.
No message from Mods or anything and it was posted with a smiley to indicate a "spoof" post.
Did I upset someone?

The only post that should have been removed was the one suggesting it would lead to genocide! Some people can make a drama out of anything

A very small smiley and then the following in extremely large font:

Bloody useless NHS, why didn't they completely kill him?

Maybe some people don't think that wishing someone dead is a "jokey comment"

Good old Google Cache....

Perhaps it was my quoting of Godwin's Law (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law) that got the thread pulled?

Whatever, you cannot please all of the people etc etc.

I do not think it was the Godwin's law that got it pulled. I used it on a post on the 15/01/2015 and it is still there as I just checked

I once started a joke thread entitled "Pointless Thread" as a spoof about some of the recent threads, in particular those that everyone could tell had been started by a troll. The Mods deleted it whilst the troll threads were allowed to remain.

Just because this forum is moderated does not mean that you should expect it to be moderated competently.

... and indeed I shouldn't expect it to not be monitored over-zealously at times, it would appear.

That comment is way more severe than anything I said that lead to my PPR. :eek:

But then again, maybe you're lucky enough to not have someone vexatiously report your posts.

(No - I haven't reported any of your posts, and I know it wasn't you reporting my posts).
