No, I don't think I've had any posts deleted.
(I wonder how long it will take for this thread to get locked.) |

I once got a warning for pointing out that someone had spelt my name wrong! I got the impression that if someone complains they just dish out a warning regardless of the merits. I expect it's a thankless task!

I don't think I've had a problem particularly, other than I'm not sure whether any of my posts were in the lot that got deleted in 'that' thread. Think mods were pretty justified there because it did get a bit OTT.

I think the mods cracked down because the arguments had become both circular and personal - variations on "my dog is bigger than your dog!"
Also SOME of the comments made may well have been verging on libelous - and DS as the hosts of the site, would have been culpable. JJ |

You can be deleted for sexism as well. It is a middle-person.

I must admit I was a bit annoyed that THAT thread was locked off and still don't really see why it was...Yes there was the odd sense of humour and proportion failure, but to shut the whole thread seems OTT to me
![]() ...Alright, I'll admit my main crib is that I never got to finish my match report I just wonder why it is that every time I start to enjoy myself someone always p's on my fireworks?

Sorry but I actually agree with the mods (even though I did have one post deleted). I think they're just trying to crack down on any discussions which get a bit too personal, that's all.
I liked the match reports though.

Funnily enough, the OP on that one was new, too |
