Why Was That Deleted?

Re: Men vs. Women post of a few minutes ago.

This was generating a huge response, which seems to indicate that it was an important topic.

Why isn't the reasoning for deletions made clear so that we know the ground rules better and can try and persuade the moderators when they seem to error?

You are making a mistake..

Don't post a thread asking why another was deleted..

(believe me, I know of what I speak)

[Jhoffa_]

Really, you should handle deletions via fr mail.

[JZoback]

Try asking via email rather than whining about in the open

to demonstrate the spirit of free and unfettered exchange of ideas.....

Well this should be interesting.

I was ready for some mighty fine entertainment from that thread.

I am also curious. It was a sincere thread asking men to try to be civil to the women on this forum with links to document that there are several threads that attack women.

There is a current thread today that is discussing the evils of women. When a woman posts, she is attacked.

Perhaps it's FR policy that the woman bashing threads stay, and the threads asking to have a little respect can last no more than 2 minutes.

It's mindboggling. I thought it was an important topic to show exactly what is happening of FR.

The delete moderator is back from vacation, apparently.

Several threads have been deleted today.

I dunno..

I was going to run out to the concession stand but I don't want to miss the main event.

(plus the cashier out there looks faggy and keeps staring at my butt)

I tried that once; never got an answer...

[philomath]

i agree; i was working my way through the links, and now...ruined, just ruined!!!

Kind like the Dubya lovefest threads?

:)

(Honestly, it's a forum for discussion.. I don't think disagreement necessarily equals "attack" Now promise not to key my car over this post.)

[shuckmaster]

I've always wanted to get one reply in on a post that asks why my thread was deleted...

I don't think I'm whining -- it was not my post, I was just learning from it.

This is all new to me, I've only been contributing for a couple of days. It seemed like a logical question.
