What has happened to Woodfaces thread?

Where the heck is the thread started by Woodface gone to?
Are there any moderators with enough moral fibre to explain what has happened to it?

So how should we post questions

Is posting of Hypothetical questions allowed or is that classed as trolling now?

This is a non Hypothetical question and is not designed to cite/wind up or be inflamatory to any persons living / dead/ not born yet

Re: What has happened to Woodfaces thread?

I got 3 emails saying that I'd had posts on the missing thread amended or deleted for making personal insults. I'm amazed that the thread has disappeared. We have "outside" for personal and insulting threads. IMHO this is where the thread should have been sent, not sent to join the "disappeared"

Trolling - Slang term for seeking a new partner to dance with.
As explained under A to Z of Common Terms used on the Forum.

Got an email saying the thread was trolling. lol

It would appear that the big guns have decided that a small scale nuclear device would sort out the problem of having to explain themselves yet again.

yet another £50 solution to a £2 problem.

I await a private pm from the top team.

no, that would be "asking stupid questions soliciting annoyed responses", not "any" question

Re: What has happened to Woodfaces thread?

I have to agree with DTS.

Woodface started a trolling thread. People (including me) responded.

IMHO, the appropriate action would have been to move it outside. Not delete it.

Over-moderation in the extreme. Sorry David, but IMHO your actions were wrong on this occasion.

If you post obviously inflammatory questions that you apparently don't hold as your actual thoughts, then yes, it's trolling.

DJ deleted the post. Franck removed thread.

And for one last time it was not trolling, It was asking a question to provide a good grounding for discussion.

Re: What has happened to Woodfaces thread?

i would disagree. Outside is generally for established threads that get abit over the top, when a thread has no purpose other than trolling, I think it's right to delete it.

posting a thread to discuss trolling when you clearly don't know what it is? This thread is , hopefully , going to be deleted too.
