ZEUS121996 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 For whatever reason the Free JimJimbo thread has been taken down. There was nothing offensive, political, racial, absolutely no reason to be deleted. I and several other people in the thread would like to know why the MODS felt it was necessary to delete it. The thread had substantial activity with most everyone having fun with it. So, if the MODS who felt it was necessary to delete the thread would publicly explain their position, I and several other members of this forum would appreciate it. That would mean addressing it right here please. Thank you, Mark 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I don't know any of the details and don't mean to offend anyone but generally it isn't considered good etiquette on any forum to openly question why a member is banned or openly question why a thread was locked or deleted. Private messages make forums a much friendlier place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, but if you were a MOD and didn't like something because well, it rubbed you the wrong way, would that make it acceptable to delete the thread? Which seems to be the case here. If I'm wrong, it should be easy to explain. Will I get a timeout for this post? Maybe, and then the next person that questions it? Should everyone who has a different viewpoint from the MODS be banned until it's a clique of merry little marauders? Just wondering Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Private messages make forums a much friendlier place. If we knew which MOD deleted the thread we could PM them and ask why the thread was taken down. But hiding behind the title of MOD and deleting what you don't agree with is small, very small Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like me. 🤪 The ones who wrote the manuals might know what's in there and any updates and changes, but most of us do not read that, we just start pushing the wheelbarrow. Someone said something along the lines of not hiding threads so we all can learn what happened, and that is being passed around at the very top level of management. .... rest assured. 😜 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To anyone other than a moderator it is as good as deleted. How many "hidden" threads ever return to the light of day? Seriously. You guys, seriously. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Can anyone do the math? How many of my threads that were "hidden" ever reappeared? How many of (insert yourself here) your threads ever reappeared after being "hidden?" Statistically, what is the likelihood of any of these threads ever being seen again? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
