Have more threads gone belly up?

I know I have trouble finding my way around here but I thought I was getting on top of things. 

The name changing makes it difficult to work out what's going on, on occasions, but I catch up soon enough.

But when whole threads seem to just disappear without trace it leaves me scratching my head and wondering what I missed.

Have the threads about trickle down (or was it up?) economics and the other one about the SSM bill imploded?

I've never been involved with the moderating of forums but have friends and family members who have so I know it takes a lot of time and they can't be on top of everything, but why take the entire threads down, surely locking them would be just as effective and also would serve as a lesson of what 'not to do.  Just my thoughts.

Totally agree with you Leonie

Where members change the title of topics and sometimes the introduction too ..it makes it very difficult.

https://www.yourlifechoices.com.au/the_meeting_place/post/trickle-up-economics is a link to Trickle up economics ... it is located under a segment called HOT TOPICS ...if you click on it you will find it in that section

Unfortunatelly a lot people do not put their topics into into appropriate segments and just use GENERAL DISCUSSION and you complicate it with some SPAM which is very prevalent on this forum and it is very difficult to find.

Suze, I know what you're saying. As an example there was a thread called "no holds barred." Started by Micha I think? I think it changed its name then it became read only?? So no posts could be added?

 

Yep Adrianus, No holds barred did become read-only at the request of the starter Thea (now Sophie)’s request, which I find rather ironic, bearing in mind the original title of the topic, that is, "No holds barred" ended up "Everything barred read-only".

Over time that topic had various title changes culminating in LIFE IS LIKE A SYMPHONY..

See the rest of that comment about half-way down this page.

Looks like the music has died on Thea's thread 

And a few others as well Raphael ... see below.

Looks like Sophie finally got fed up with the crap comments, after all you can't keep casting your pearls before ------ well, ya'll know the rest!!!!

Good riddance to that childish  thread

Might be childish to you fish, but looks like R&R is missing it. Thought you hated the thread R&R, so funny!!!!!!

This might help to heal the wounds

I guess it was left there as a read only thread because of its value as a reference material. Lots of good stuff there .. how to be happy.. how intelligent people behave etc. Keep us up to speed Micha, Reagan and let us know what you learn. Remember knowledge is only useful when it is shared.

Adrianus you really should get yourself a pet, every time you feel like being a mean girl, give it a cuddle. Some pets don’t take up much room, go on give it some thought

RnR..

I noticed your above post this morning but had no time to reply.

Do you really have such a lot of time on your hands that you have to pay me so much attention? I make a modest contribution to the forum.. and so far.. have had no complaints from any of the moderators.. ever.  Why are you so hung up on threads changing names? If it doesn’t worry the moderators..what has it got to do with you for goodness sake !!

You have always hated the "Life is like a Symphony" thread and made no secret of it…your concern is the ultimate in hypocrisy. Clean your own home first before complaining about others…or do as Jane Austen advises in Pride and Prejudice”..  “keep your breath to cool your porridge.”

Have a fun weekend..I know I am going to enjoy mine!





Extremely well put RnR

describes it well.

"No holds barred" ended up "Everything barred read-only".

Thanks Suze, much appreciated.   I have noticed the spam, it's the bane of all forums.  The moderators here are pretty good with that, it seems to be cleaned up pretty quickly.

Hmm! Wonder why the spammers do not hassle the gardening forums

...most probably frightened they will be sprayed with some pesticide Related image

Another glitch today. I can't post on Toot's "Interesting stuff to Share" topic.

https://www.yourlifechoices.com.au/the_meeting_place/post/interesting-stuff-to-share

No idea why ... I can post on everything else.

-------------

Is anyone else having the same problem on that thread?

Yep, just tried, nothing, same as the thread I was trying to post in.

Ha ha Suze, good one.

I'm now wondering if another thread has been made read only.  I have been trying to post in the one about the cancer cluster and nothing is happening when I click post reply.  Given the last post it wouldn't surprise me greatly - sigh.

https://www.yourlifechoices.com.au/the_meeting_place/post/the-town-where-residents-have-been-left-to-rot-and-die

Leonie ... I can’t either post on that topic either.

Interesting coincidence I’ve noted.

A poster called Somebody was the last to post on both Toot’s ISTShare topic and the Williamtown contamination one ... I can't now post on either.

Somebody has apparently been banned (his avatar has disappeared) … seems like the rest of us have been accidentally banned as well from wherever Somebody last posted.

What a pain!!

Hi Leonie,

The way to find threads that have disappeared is to scroll down to the bottom of the threads listed where the categories of topics are listed. That is, “General Discussion”, “Hot Topics”, “Politics” etc. When you scroll through them you will find the thread you are looking for.

There are a few people on here who change their avatar names and pictures continually, as well as change the name of threads they start. I agree that it is frustrating and I really don’t understand why they do it. Perhaps they can tell us what the point is???

It took me a long time to find my way around. It does get easier with time.... good luck :)

 

Thanks Robi, they've reappeared now but we still can't post in them.  I must have tried looking for one of them while they were being 'locked'. 

The poster 'somebody' apparently was the last poster in both the threads being discussed and that poster's name has also been removed from the posts like Moe has from that  other thread.  So it would appear the mods don't actually remove the threads they do in fact lock them.

Sorry mods, I shouldn't assume because ..... :)

That has never happened before. Maybe a glitch or maybe a new way of dealing with difficult folk on here? I suspect a glitch....

 

 

 

 

Hmmmm strange actually .... I put up a new Topic a week or so ago  - my first "new" one in maybe 4-5 months - ('cause a lot of them as you well know get trashed....and I really haven't bothered lately) ...

... anyway .... it was called "Crisis in South Africa" ......... how Cape Town is rapidly running out of water (experts state by the end of this year!) Frightening!! and how the businesses/hotels/farmers etc.  also the many hundreds of thousands whom will be affected!

Lasted less than 48 hours and it disappeared??? Gone!!   Weird!

Maybe it was deemed "too intelligent" a Topic for the Fox?? lol lol lol .. ..............     (teasing)  :-)

Yeah -  probably you - piece of nasty crap that you are!  

People on here have suggested it is something to do with "your mob" - ok!!!  End of story!!!!!   

wash your mouth out foxy, bad language continuing at your age????

Image result for now you see it, now you don't animated gif

 

The only idiots I see on here are reagan ray and micha. Trolls.

lol - you are 110% correct Adrianus - Regan/Ray/Micha/Thea/Kiah .....all the ONE person ...... known on here as the "multi-heads"!    lol  Oh yeah and let's not forget Cranky the Clown ..... who has .............

....disappeared of late?  Musta' fired itself outta' the circus cannon like I suggested? lol lol ......(I wish!)

I think the Williamstown thread has disappeared too, and given the last post I caught just before it went, I'm not surprised.  I can't point any fingers because the name of the poster had already been removed but it was a pretty heartless post to put up in thread about people dying. 

I won't repeat it here although on its own it was actually pretty innocuous.  It was just 'wrong' in the context of the thread and far more offensive than anything Foxy has said.

What I will say, and I might be taking a bit of a leap here, but in my opinion, it sounded like it came from the far right.  Now why doesn't that surprise me?

so you think calling someone "a nasty piece of crap" is ok????

If someone called you that reagan then I suppose they are astute. Why dont you, ray and micha just bugger off.

 

 

lol lol - some of the hateful names this creep Regan has called me have been deleted so many times by Admin - that I am surprised this "nasty piece of crap" is still allowed on this website!

Unbelievable!   Gives Regan "the boot" ......    lol lol lol 

 

Your trouble is Adrianus, you direct your cryptic and mainly garbled messages at someone and when they reply to your nonsense in a humorous way, you can’t take it, because you are too thin skinned.

Grow some skin man, don’t be a bandwagon jumper.

Don't worry be happy!!! Adrianus, I would be very happy to give you a complimentary three month membership at the gym. Might do you the world of  good.

That's a very nice thing to do Reagan.

Have a great w/end. Rotto is beckoning again this w/end. 

Can't believe another week has gone by since you said that Micha. Have another great weekend mate.

Oh dear, Oh dear, even when I am miles out in the pacific ocean the fanatical furface still cant resist using my name in vain. You really do have a " foxation "with me dear dont you...?
Do you have a life outside YLC Fox..?
I presume not the time you spent in here.
But I hate to disappoint my fans so as soon as I came back I hopped in here for a quick catchup...and a look around.
