Disappearing thread

[Hitchington]

Before anyone says anything or rushes off to report me to the mods, this is news and it is current.

There was a thread here, this morning. I can't exactly remember the title, but I made a couple of posts in it one being a defence of the right for Scotland to hold another Indyref because circumstances (i.e. Brexit) have changed. This thread has disappeared.

Can anyone give the news to its current whereabouts? I'd really like to get to the bottom of this affair.

Cheers/thanks.

I think it was this one - https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/so-we-going-to-have-election.254583/page-308 but the mods have had their say.

No, I'm sure it was a different one. My posts have just vanished without any explanation. I'm sure the thread is gone too. I'm certain I'm not imagining it.

Would a mod like to offer an explanation?

I wouldn't hold your breath if I were you.

It was the “last Christmas in the EU” thread which has been deleted for some reason........

I knew I wasn't imagining it! Thanks jowwy.

I think the op started it as a bit of fun and didn't want it to get so heated.

Mod note: Thread was deleted at the request of the OP.

Moving this to Site Support.

Which the op asked to be deleted after it turned into a bickerfest, although the mods let it run for a long time before listening to him.

For the record I replied to the OP's PM to the Mods a/c as soon as I saw it earlier today and then carried out the requested action straight away.

Whats with the mods?

That's true - the OP posted a message in the thread requesting its deletion.

It is a pity it was not deleted until many more replies had been made, but the resources are not in place for instant mod action.

Those of us, like me, who are experienced on here would have been better advised to stop contributing to the thread as soon as the OP posted the deletion request.

The idea that an OP "owns" a thread and can get it removed is slightly odd in a public forum, isn't it? Especially in the chattier bits.
