Take pity on a granny of very little brain

Agree , 110 per cent !!

I wasnt on Gn this afternoon so I was amazed that it had been deleted what happened.

The thread was beginning to fade away and then one or two people posted (nothing confrontational) and GNHQ felt that as it was going round in circles they'd delete it.

I'm not going to give an opinion or they'll delete this one as being a thread about a thread.

It seems that if a thread succeeds in making GNHQ's collective heads spin (and has of course received a certain number of complaints), its deletion is a matter of form these days....

I wonder if it wouldn't be possible to archive a thread so that those who may have missed out could at least read it. Clearlly this would not apply to deletions for reasons of racism or obscenity

I hadn't noticed that it had gone.

Yes Gracesmum. On the professional forum I belong to, threads are occasionally locked, but not deleted, if things are getting overheated.
That way, other forum users get to know what's acceptable and what's not.

That seems like a good idea jane

I blame GCHQ as well as GNHQ and too much [and

Nothing happened. Nobody got overheated. Nobody said a word wrong.
No members individual posts was deleted
.
The thread was deleted at 20.18. 'We're going to be deleting this thread shortly. Getting a bit dizzy watching it spin in circles'

I made my thoughts known at the time that there are far worse threads that don't get deleted.

I repeat what I have said before. If a thread is deleted without proper explanation from GNHQ then members will ask what happened, make up reasons and it will serve no purpose.

Who said OWN GOAL

I've suggested in the past that threads are frozen rather than deleted, then everyone could see the problem, but nothing happened.

"Congratulations GNHQ - massive own goal I think."

This thread will also be deleted you realise.

!!!!!
Only arsking, m'lud!
Maybe another explanation for those of us who missed it?
Please, pretty please with a cherry on the top? ]

"What larks!"

You didn't miss anything, gracesmum. The thread was heading for the exit but was shot down when it had a change of heart and came back for a little lap of honour.

And as usual - I missed it

GM - believe me you missed absolutely nothing!

Do you keep an eagle eye on absolutely every thread on this site, Bluebell? Just in case...?

There was nothing much after you apologised 'for mixing up my grans and my granny's' Grace everything of value had been said before.

It hasn't gone, I still have it up on my iPad on another window.

Isn't it copyright?

Faye - is it permitted to ask "Why"????

Nothing we say on here is our copyright and Gransnet has the right to use and publish it. That's why I very rarely supply a recipe for anything as I would be cutting my own professional throat.
