A simple non-controversial question.
Would you be kind enough to clarify your definition of racist, libellous and breaking the law? I ask because these are the criteria given for justifying the deletion of a thread in the very rare event that such a decision has to be made. Hypothetical, obviously.

I'm sure the PMs you received must have given some indication of why they'd been sent, Soutra! You're right about the dead horses, though...

Soutra Sun 13-Apr-14 18:44:43

Actually ana I was totally clueless ( I know, no change there) grin just "support". Thanks anyway for those who did!

I'm a moderator on forums for work. I would always automatically report spam (as I did recently). For anything else, we pretty much follow what Julie describes, including endless discussion in the team before a decision is made to delete.

I have to admit I was shocked.

I had a pm I Wasn't happy about, soon after GN started. I sort of "outed" it on-forum but did not name the poster. (She coughed up of her own accord actually grin)

DebnCreme Sun 13-Apr-14 19:41:06

Me too Aka

Ana Sun 13-Apr-14 19:45:12

What were you both shocked by?

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 13-Apr-14 19:46:34

Yeah. What?

Aka Sun 13-Apr-14 20:37:22

Not saying. Don't want a nasty PM hmm

I missed it again. confused.

Very annoying though not to be able to make your own mind up if offence was caused, after all it does vary between posters it would appear.

POGS Sun 13-Apr-14 21:53:27

PS

I thought I would be looking up a thread asking what we thought about people who lurk behind net curtains. smile

Dragonfly1 Sun 13-Apr-14 22:25:15

POGS grin!
