Do threads sometimes disappear from the Forum?

Can we now not mention the three Billy Goats Gruff? Who's that going trip trap over my bridge!

I wonder if there are actually legal reasons for this given the recent fuss about certain allegations and names posted on twitter.
Could posters on here be prosecuted for possibly adverse comments made about a named person?

Very Machiavellian! How about the word 'halo' then? An alert cous go out something like this....

Hallo, halo what have we here? wink

Perhaps we could find a substitute for the t word which we could use with impunity. Maybe something ironic like angel.

The t***l word was mentioned several times, so KatGransnet explained it's against forum etiquette and she gave notice that she would need to delete the thread because of it. Concerns about t***ls have to be reported, not challenged by Gransnetters, so that'll be why it's gone.

So the lesson is.....you can eff and blind as much as you like, just don't mention trolls! Oops! grin

Yes, it seems that it has. I was mistaken. This was the first thread I looked at this morning and then read Gracesmum's thread about being in the doghouse. There have been issues about calling legitimate posters the t word in the past but I don't now enough about what was said this time to comment. So I'll shut up.

Has it been deleted or has it just stopped coming up in active or wherever? I don't know what the thread was called or which forum it was in, so can't check and say for certain one way or the other. We know that there have been problems for a while when threads seem to disappear. I don't think GNHQ censors things willy nilly.

But surely they usually tell us?

I have a bad feeling about this! You mean there are things we aren't allowed to talk about?

Up until a few minutes ago I was on a thread about how we deal with trolls. Now I can't find it. Does anyone know why?

Nudged by someone on that thread I've just spent ages (about an hour) filling in full details on my Profile (someone had suggested I "go blue" ie fill in my profile) I polished it up and pressed SAVE. It immediately disappeared and I still have no public profile.

On another thread I've had a message deleted. I've no idea why. I've asked why. In a PM if necessary.

What's going on? Isn't transparency part of this Forum. If Gransnet admin are taking actions that's fine. But please tell us what you're doing and why. This is just confusing, no fun, and if we've transgressed we've no idea how not to next time!

Unhappy sad
