Maybe because they are relevant to the show and hence this forum.
Implying that a contestant meant violence to a toddler crosses the line. We all know he didn't, the mother knows he didn't, I imagine the producers know he didn't. Besides people were making some very sick jokes on that thread. ![]() Have the BBC deleted ITT? |

Dear me there are a lot of posters threatened by Jay's popularity, aren't there!
Not that there is any requirement to like him, of course, or any of the other celebrity dancers. It's when the posts become nasty spiteful and personal that the mods have had to close threads. Anyone who could read anything into Jay's comments last night more than a young man expressing himself badly amazes me, frankly but there you go. |

Some of the stuff in the Jay thread was bordering on libellous.
People just don't like Peter Andre, deal with it. It just descended into multi-mickey taking and bordering on sick jokes - that's why it got deleted I imagine. No conspiracy here - walk on, nothing to see........................... |

Yes, but posting libellous comments could get the owners of this forum into serious trouble.
People slating Peter isn't the same thing. (although I'm sure you would always find a scumbag lawyer to take your money if you wanted to give it away) |

There are threads still standing where users make claims that Peter has planted stories, influenced the judges vote, and acted aggressively towards other contestants/pros.
There isn't any concrete evidence for any of it, so does that not constitute libel in the same way as the Jay thread? In which case, I can only imagine the jokes made in the thread caused it to be removed. |

I've no idea. Why don't people take it up with the mods if they've got a problem. No one here has got the answer.
It's a good point. |

I could find posts in Jay's own Appreciation Thread which were as strong on the subject as any in that thread.
![]() If it was the jokes, I guess that makes sense. They came in party spirit with Jay's prompting and they were (like his comment) a little transgressive. |

The mods have to be alerted though, they don't read through all the threads. Every anti-Jay thread has been removed on here.
No-body minds a bit of mickey taking, if it is left at that. |

Not being an arse licker here (but Mods, may I just say, you are all looking particularly attractive today) .... I guess on a thread which is over 10 pages long, it's a lot easier to delete the whole darn thing rather than trawl through every post. |

I'm honestly not sure what happened to that thread. By the end of it, it was just people making jokes. There are plenty of threads that stray from the original topic on this forum. Probably best not to question any decisions made here...you won't get a real response.
Maybe if FMs who want to diss Jay (who seems a perfectly decent chap and a great dancer to me), could start up their own "This is definitely not an Anti-Jay Thread"- it might gain immunity? Just a thought.

I think you'll find the joke-tellers had come over from the "other" Jay appreciation thread with the intention to shut the discussion down. Classic tactic, job done.

Just a thought. ![]() That thread sounds like a wonderful idea, the only problem is that people do have other things to discuss than just Jay. When you make a comment like he did, it is of course going to spark a reaction. |
