Changed Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 Hmm...I've seen much nastier threads carry on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Can they? I thought when they were deleted there was that message deleted thing. I like the idea that some of them disappear into the ether though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 The ones that just disappear are from spammers or trolls, as far as I have seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RegularMom Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I noticed yesterday that a few threads just disappeared completely, with no residual blank area/cryptic moderator message left behind. I thought maybe they'd changed the way deleted threads display when the boards went down a couple days ago. But this morning, I saw one that displayed normally. So, who knows? Maybe sometimes the mods just think it's better to completely erase some topics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Oh, yes, you're right, Mrs. Mungo, the obvious spam does just disappear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DawnM Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 A few? I only noticed one. Phooey, I miss all the good stuff.

Parrothead Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I think the powers that be don't totally disappear threads that someone might go looking for. That way the asking about those threads doesn't happen much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RegularMom Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Don't worry, you didn't miss much. It was just one troll who got caught early on. He'd started a few different threads, all controversial. He and his threads just quietly disappeared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenn- Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Am I the only one who thinks the moderator reasons are sometimes really funny? I absolutely love reading them. I used to be a moderator on another board and sure do wish we could have done the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
