Could someone tell me what happened to the post ...

It was zapped.

Ask the mods?
I’ve been out too DAR and missed the fun.

What was it called ? Or about ? Don’t think I ve seen it

I thought you were referring to Royal Mail.

Are you saying that the mods havnt told you why your thread was deleted. Most peculiar 🤷‍♀️

I thought there’d be better disclosure and more transparency of the rules now!

A few hours ago the op space said something like "opening post withdrawn while we take a look".
Only they only used about 4 words.
My memory is shocking as can be seen!

I hadnt realised the thread had been deleted altogether.

Now gone to find the deleted thread.

It says

Message from GNHQ: Hey folks. We can see this one looks to have gone off track pretty much from the outset. We think best all round to remove it. A gentle reminder to hit report if you've concerns about a thread or a post rather than bringing concerns onto the thread. Thank you

I was lead to believe that it’s against the rules to have a thread about a thread.

If I was going to hazard a guess then I'd say it was taken down because it was an attempt to control a thread - which having just witnessed a long standing member getting banned and this was one of the reasons, then I'm hardly surprised. I think we're all well past the age being instructed as to what we can say on an open forum, or not.

Your guess is correct.

Thanks Petra - at least the mods are showing some consistency then

Any idea what was the topic?

Any idea what was the topic?

Tax, wealth, investment. We were informed that if we didn’t look at the video link we might not get an answer.

Do you mean the thread about Wealth Tax, Inheritance Tax and Income Tax?
Might I respectfully make a suggestion for starting a thread of this type another time ?
Unsurprisingly some posters took exception to the tone of your opening post, your admonition that any posts where the poster had not seen/heard /read your link would be ignored and what sounded like an embargo on any other comments.
As I said, respectfully, if you had, for instance said that so-and so had made such-and- such points in his article/ video/ podcast and would anybody who had seen/read/heard him, like to share their observations?
Not prescriptive, open-ended, inviting discussion and nothing for anybody to object to. Sometimes 🎶it’s not what you say, but the way that you say it (that’s what gets results) 🎶

Thanks to those who updated me. Off to pastures (or threads) new now we all know.
