Do GN explain reasons for thread deletions?

My experience is they simply disappear and a couple of days later you realise they are no longer there. I neither know and don’t really care why. Their prerogative as owners I think.

I know the one you mean Dinahmo think there were some doubts cast on the veracity of the OP. Hope you can read this quickly as I expect it will be deleted.

. My question is - do they ever explain their reasons?
Yes! if you ask for an explanation by personal email; not by PM!

I dont know the thread you are talking about, and don't want to know but it has been quite unusual on here recently, I think there is quite a lot of storytelling going on.

Some of them are spam. I have reported a couple in the last week. Title and sender's name with nothing else listed, may not sound like spam, but if you had seen the text it was clearly someone trying to sell something,

If it's the one that had the massively long dodgy looking link, I suspect it's gone because it had a massively long dodgy looking link.

It was about a friend visiting.

Dinahmo

It was about a friend visiting.

Oh, I commented on that one too. I didn't think there was anything wrong with it, the poster interacted perfectly appropriately I thought.

We might be on dodgy ground though, I don't think we're 'allowed' threads about threads so this one might go too.

But as it's still here, I'm curious as to why anyone would think that one was an issue?

Not if you stick to answering the OP's question!

I’m afraid my natural curiosity makes me wonder about threads that disappear, particularly if I look for one and it’s gone.

As far as I know, a message is always left where a thread is deleted, giving the reasons.

I imagine it takes quite a while to check things out behind the scenes.

If you can remember the name of the title, you can Google, to find the reason. You won't find the thread of course.

Is this the one about the woman being in the kitchen in her frillies with the posters husband ...I did wonder about that one

Why was that BlueBell? I'm genuinely interested to know why people thought it was bogus.

Has there been a spate of outlandish posts on here before?

Sorry Rufus2 enquiring minds and all... hahaha.

MissAdventure I clicked on a removed thread this afternoon. All it said was This thread has been deleted by GNHQ for breaking our forum guidelines.

This is what it always says, no matter what the reason for removing the thread.

It's the ones that can be utter nonsense and usually easy to spot. There's another current one.

Yes very easy to spot. I am not sure if the people posting think we were born yesterday.

Was it Meghan ?

I wasn't but I've not seen a scenario yet that, even if a little unusual, I haven't got a RL reference to. But then given the things I've done for a living I suppose I've been exposed to the more...er...unusual side of life. Or am I naive?

What kind of things do you spot that would make you suspicious? If you don't mind taking the time to answer.

I doubt you ve been exposed to anything more than any of us NellG
In the past we have had people pretend for pages and pages that a poster has died is that weird enough for you
We ve had people getting contact from ‘ heaven’ and spinning some grieving people along
I could go on and on but I expect this will be quickly deleted

BlueBelle That's what I was thinking, I can't have seen 'more' than many of you. I was just trying to find a reason why I might not recognise something that many of you might find glaringly bogus. I'm sorry if my post offended you, it wasn't intended that way.

It didn’t offend me at all why would it ?
You asked a question I answered with a couple of ‘for instances’

BlueBelle I've fallen foul of a few posters here, so having not interacted with you much was just being cautious, and as it's a bit of an odd subject just wanted to make sure I wasn't pushing something. Plus what you said about the weirdness/people pretending people had died made me think perhaps it might be a sensitive subject. It's just hard to 'read' tone sometimes.
