• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Threads deleted ??

It appears that some threads that get closed. . . also get deleted (as if they never existed?)

I can understand closing threads that get out of bounds if necessary, but why delete them ? This prevents members from seeing the nature of the controversy as examples of what's considered verboten.

:running:
 
Some threads, even after being closed, are still so controversial or offensive that they are removed to maintain the standards of the site.

OBIO
 
I deleted one the other night at the request of one of the posters. The thread quickly became a big misunderstanding and it was decided that keeping the thread open for all to see would be counterproductive.

Moe closed and deleted one last night because it became a war of words.
 
The one deleted this morning (UK time) was well within the rules before it was closed. I didn't see how the SOH Facebook one developed a couple of days ago as I went to bed. The next morning it was gone.

Close them if you must but to expunge them completely smacks of censorship. I know this is a free site and we don't pay to subscribe and therefore have no voice at all but it's all getting a little bit like the Freemason's around here :costum:
 
How disappointing. I thought the thread in question was shaping up to be an interesting discussion with some intriguing points of view.

ok gentlemen lets not get personal!
actually threads are not deleted
they get moved to a private forum
so some of us can read them
and review them without them getting hotter
just so there is no misunderstanding
this is a sim site and the newshawks section
is not a place for politics, religion or any other volatile
views,
also please remember we are a COPA site and people of all ages
can view

well the thread i responded to last night, i never got to see the moderator's answer to my question. if the thread is gone, i would like to hear from a moderator or some other soh authority. i would like to be in clear understanding of just what type of place this is going to be.
 
If something is provocative the best thing to do is avoid it. We are from many different countries and cultures. What may not be offensive to one might be offensive to another. There are some common sense issues that outright provoke others to wrath so why start it? That is an easy guideline

Nope...it's MY nightstick.

Incessant harassment and baiting of the SOH staff is worthy of a trip to the front door.
Goodbye!

Enjoying a nightstick in the back?

I'm almost certain that 6297J was just being funny and having a giggle, and no offence was intended?
 
He's gone for good, and it wasn't funny? Let it go!

I thought it was quite witty to be completely honest. :confused:

Such a shame. Has he received a permanent ban, or it is just temporary?
