I started before going out this morning. It's been deleted?

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A few hours ago the op space said something like "opening post withdrawn while we take a look".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 hmm
