Moderator or Censor?

[Pete]

I've put up a couple of posts recently, which have been deleted. Without ceremony or comment. Just gone. One was a question, the other was a comment, frank but not offensive

The policy of the moderators seems to have evolved into just getting rid of posts that are not liked/agreed with, without even commenting. Or perhaps it's just one moderator getting a bit trigger happy? Do you discuss these things between yourselves?

I think if you delete anyone's post for any reason you should leave some explanation in it's place (I realise some mods already do this)

Thanks

Can't see any reason why Rob, Nige,Wimmy or Paul the owner would delete a post without having a good reason.
Maybe it's just the system, it does seem to have fits now and then, could be you've just been unlucky and it's your posts that have been lost.
This ones still here so try asking your question again.

more than likely to be the system mate as Rab says, we had a problem before when all posts by unlogged on peoples posts disappeared.
Network 54's problem not ours

I havent deleted anyones posts for weeks, but if it were deleted there would have been a reason.

 

[Wimmy]

Cant remember deleting any recently. Please email me at [email protected] and tell me what the posts where. It may trigger something upstairs in the warped brain of mine

Upstairs Wimmy? I thought you were a Bungalow in that respect.

lol.................

Hands up if anyone knows how a bungalow got its name?

 

[Wimmy]

Yawn

"Hey, bung a low roof on it"

 

[Rab]

The origin of the bungalow has its roots in the Indian province of Bengal. There, the common native dwelling and the geographic area both had the same root word, bangla or bangala. Eighteenth century huts of one story with thatched roofs were adapted by the British, who used them as houses for colonial administrators in summer retreats in the Himalayas and in compounds outside Indian cities. Also taking inspiration from the army tent, the English cottage, and sources as exotic as the Persian verandah, early bungalow designers clustered dining rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, and bathrooms around central living rooms and, thereby, created the essential floor plan of the bungalow, leaving only a few refinements to be worked out by later designers.

The animals were bored. Finally, the lion had an idea. "I know a really exciting game that the humans play called football. I've seen it on T.V."

He proceeded to describe it to the rest of the animals and they all got excited about it so they decided to play. They went out to the field and chose up teams and were ready to begin.

The lion's team received. They were able to get two first downs and then had to punt. The mule punted and the rhino was back deep for the kick. He caught the ball, lowered his head and charged. First, he crushed a roadrunner, then two rabbits. He gored a wildebeast, knocked over two cows, and broke through to daylight, scoring six.

Unfortunately, they lacked a placekicker, and the score remained 6 - 0.

Late in the first half the lion's team scored a touchdown and the mule kicked the extra point. The lion's team led at halftime 7 - 6. In the locker room, the lion gave a peptalk.

"Look you guys. We can win this game. We've got the lead and they only have one real threat. We've got to keep the ball away from the rhino, he's a killer. Mule, when you kick off be sure to keep it away from the rhino."

The second half began. Just as the mule was about to kick off, the rhino's team changed formation and the ball went directly to the rhino. Once again, the rhino lowered his head and was off running. First, he stomped two gazelles. He skewered a zebra, and bulldozed an elephant out of the way. It looked like he was home free. Suddenly at the twenty yard line, he dropped over dead. There were no other animals in sight anywhere near him. The lion went over to see what had happened. Right next to the dead rhino he saw a small centipede.

"Did you do this?" he asked the centipede.

"Yeah, I did." the centipede replied.

The lion retorted, "Where were you during the first half?"

"I was putting on my shoes."

Just to add that it wasn't me deleting anything as I've been away in Swindon and only got back an hour ago. Sadly, our computers at work block this forum, so, it definitely wasn't me

It's probably also worth mentioning here that if we see a post that might be construed as breaking the rules, and it has been posted anonymously, then it will stand a greater chance of being deleted.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, sign up (It's free) and login when you post. At least that way we know who is who
