Do threads sometimes disappear from the Forum?

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

I don't think jings is going to tell me what trait I have that she doesn't like. I won't wait around to see, I have been on here long enough already.

Night all, moon

For goodness' sake! Elegran convoluted? Her mode of expression is as clear as or clearer than almost anyone else's on these forums.

Elegran Sun 25-Nov-12 20:26:51

Are you going to tell me what trait that is Jings ? You are not usually so coy.

Nanadog Sun 25-Nov-12 20:23:02

If I'm being bracketed with Elegran I'll take that as a compliment hmm JO

MiceElf Sun 25-Nov-12 18:28:17

Wow. Impressed! But Chat......

jO5 Sun 25-Nov-12 18:21:44

You seem to have your share too Nanadog.

jO5 Sun 25-Nov-12 18:21:23

Ummm. I think I can follow your convoluted way of thinking Elegran.

It must take quite a high level of a certain personality trait to think like you do.

(In case you were wondering, I didn't trawl through all the Forum topics! I googled it and noticed it wasn't started in Religion & Spirituality, but Chat)

jeni Sun 25-Nov-12 11:40:30

I started a thread?confused
Don't remember that.

Ana Sun 25-Nov-12 11:39:05

No, it's in Chat!

MiceElf Sun 25-Nov-12 11:25:39

There was one started by Jeni. It attracted quite a few responses and grew out of The Christian Gransnet one. I can find it if I Google it but not on the Forum Index. Perhaps it's been banned as unsuitable.

Well done Ana,you beat me to it. I was going to say that The way forward is the nineteenth thread on the Religion and Spirituality forum. I don't know which thread about Catholicism MiceElf meant.

Ana Sun 25-Nov-12 11:01:32

MiceElf - is this not one of them?

It is just like some of your jokes, JO5 , don't you like it?

You thought I was being nasty to someone else, then when you found that it was absent (and incidentally not being nasty at all) you said that was OK. So I joked that as I now had your permission I would have to find something bad to say. Later I said that having your permission did not make it compulsory. To be honest I couldn't think of anything nasty to say to absent

Is it clear now what it was all about?

MiceElf Sun 25-Nov-12 08:16:24

Just been there to check. Both missing.

Nanadog Sun 25-Nov-12 08:08:47

It's called a joke JO google it! grin

"Having Jing's permission to do something does not mean that it is obligatory."

confused What's that about?! confused

Ana Sat 24-Nov-12 22:32:07

MiceElf, if you look in the main Forum section you can find threads that havve slipped off the current list. I saw The Way Forward - don't know about the other one, but it's probably there.

MiceElf Sat 24-Nov-12 22:29:03

Two threads are missing on the religion and spirituality section. One on Roman Catholicism and one called Finding a way Forward.

Elegran Sat 24-Nov-12 18:35:09

Having Jing's permission to do something does not mean that it is obligatory.

Unless it an invitation to cupcake and wine

jO5 Sat 24-Nov-12 18:11:54

You are allowed some expectations absent. (((hug)))

smile

absentgrana Sat 24-Nov-12 18:07:13

Of course you can be horrible – or lovely – to absent, whoever you are. But why would you – either way? smile

jO5 Sat 24-Nov-12 17:58:37

I mean, it's entirely between you and absent.

Fight yer own battles.

jO5 Sat 24-Nov-12 17:58:07

Don't let me stop you.

Elegran Sat 24-Nov-12 17:56:29

You mean I am allowed to be 'orrible to absent then Jings ? I shall have to work on that .... what can I say......?
