I started a thread yesterday about the new disabled persons minister, and it seemed to be going fine, now I log on and find it's disappeared?

Anybody know any reason why?...there wasn't anything offensive on it that I could see.

    I can make it two missing threads. I started one yesterday about a person on here that vanished. Now the person, the thread that was started not by me and my thread have all vanished.

    What's the matter with this website for goodness sake.?

    More than likely this one will vanish too.

    Are you sure yours wasn't merged, as there were two threads running?

    If you start a thread about a missing thread your thread will be deleted.

    If you start a thread about a person who's been PPRed your thread will be deleted.

    If you start a thread and it erupts into a bun-fight and MSE keep getting reports it will be deleted..

    So why can't we discuss a person who has been PPR'd? This is Discussion Time after all.

    Also it seems pretty rude and discourteous to actually just delete a thread without any explanation.

    If it broke the forum rules. Why do they need to explain it?

    They say it's not fair on them, because they're not here to answer what's been written.


    This isn't taking into account the fact that whoever it was can easily come back under a new user-name.. :whistle: That's the internet for you, - you can ban an ID but it's nigh-on impossible to ban a person.

    Some times when people are banned.

    Its unfair to discuss as the banned individual can not come on here and defend there side of the story.
