I Agree 100 %..The UK is Going through Some Turmoil at the Moment with Recent & Ongoing Events..It would appear to Me Rightly or Wrongly Peoples Frustrations & Gripes are Coming Out Elsewhere..Like Here..Bad Times..I take the point Foxy, however I do feel that the causes of deletion are best dealt with in pms rather than in threads which then expand as others jump in to air their own real or perceived grievances. As someone who was paid to frequently ( though unwillingly ) arbitrate in disputes of varying natures I know only too well the difficulties of defining ' reasonable ' to two aggrieved parties. Mostly it just seemed to degenerate into more entrenched positions as each kept rehearsing and rehashing their point of view. So challenging to part time moderate a forum of thousands from varying cultures, atitudes and where English is often not a first language. I have deliberately tried not to pass comment on the rights or wrongs of any of the deleted posts or comments; however I can only say that over the past 5. Or 6 months I have felt that some posters have been, possibly unintentionally, pushing the envelope of what are already very loose limits. And no, since thus is a personal judgement call I have no intention of listing a series of posts demonstrating what I mean. Now, of course, unless we settle down an atmosphere of conflict and looking to find fault is going to poison the atmosphere of a really fun place to chat about a mutual interest online.

Your right, I did mean PM's though didn't make that clear. Right, to allow the dust to settle I will scurry off and go and make some more soap. Pleased to read your enjoying the Southsea Spray so much.I take the point Foxy, however I do feel that the causes of deletion are best dealt with in pms rather than in threads which then expand as others jump in to air their own real or perceived grievances.

They Shouldn't ask Silly Questions...It just baffles me this place -
Someone starts a thread about "facial scrubs" or "genital shaving" and it appears acceptable behavior to constantly run them down and to post threads suggesting that those involved are "fucking benders". It seems that satisfying the egos of a handful of people is more important than allowing people to have their questions answered with a small bit of respect.
Nishy, the most pleasant, decent, friendly, helpful guy about the place asks in the 'Feedback and Help Requests' forum "does anyone moderator the moderators?" and his post is sent to limbo.
The first post seems to be covered by the "pinch of salt" rule and the second warrants moderation. I don't understand this sort of inconsistency. I'm all for a bit of banter, but surely there are boundaries.
Well after reading @JohnnyO above I deleted my post and will just say Here Here
I remember with particular fondness the chap who asserted that shaving his nether regions "improved performance", I believe Vinnie did his best to offend the bejaysus out of him.They Shouldn't ask Silly Questions...

qftIf Admins aren't present, it is because they aren't present... Can't be bothered, or have more important things in their lives.)
