The "New Forum" Discussion Thread

509 posts in this topic

How about telling us what really happened when we see "THIS TOPIC HAS BEEN MOVED" and say THIS TOPIC HAS BEEN DELETED.

 

Because it hasn't been. It's been moved to the moderation area, for legal purposes. Very few threads are ever actually deleted.

 

So you say, but they don't say that. How am I to know? What legal purpose?

 

It would be detrimental to the legal purpose to discuss the legal purpose with those that don't "need to know" about the legal purpose.

 

Is there a star chamber perhaps?

 

There is a choccy starfish chamber.

 

Ps: I got a strike for telling Larry Doherty to GFH, so you may want to edit that out.

1. The mods have said so on multiple occasions.

 

2. Liability. If someone uses this board in a manner that potentially exposes the CCG (that's not CGC misspelled) to liability, they keep a record of everything.

 

Why do you think your post count doesn't go down when a thread goes away?

 

RMA is correct. I once posed the question to Arch. See the link below

It's easier to say "RMA doesn't know what he's talking about" than to take my word for it, or....ya know...search.

 

:D

 

Everybody hates you

If that's directed at me, then GFY.

 

Awww...I'm grateful for you, too!

 

No need to be too "grateful", however; occasionally, I do know what I'm talking about. I know it's rare, but still....

One thing I really like about this forum's functionality is the ability to go directly to my posts.

 

Selecting My Stuff > My Posts allows me to not only go to the thread I posted in but it takes me directly to my post in that thread. I'd hate to lose this functionality

 

Other forums I'm on don't do that. They allow you to select the thread in which you posted but you then have to search through the thread to find your post(s).

What did your posts do wrong that they need to be fined?
