I have no idea what you're talking about and that's not sarcasm. We (the admins) don't typically just hide threads, unless they become troll stomping ground, and usually we'll just hide the troll posts.

Are you really upset that thread is gone? There are plenty of other banal threads where one can make trite, oft- time indecipherable statements on subjects that usually have nothing whatsoever to do with prog. In fact, you can make up your own in the "Just for Fun" section where such things belong.


I've posted on many boards and never seen anything like that. I'm totally surprised.
I've never seen a thread deleted unless posters were acting like complete tw*ts. Again, the subject of the thread and the few posts I saw early on had absolutely nothing to do with music (the primary purpose of this forum last time I checked); in addition, the thread and its meandering, non-musical, nonsensical subject matter belonged in the "Just for Fun" section.
 
 
 
So, I have to assume that a) people were behaving like tw*ts, and b) in any case, it was in the wrong section.
 
 
 
I am wondering why you are so upset over an inconsequential thread. And it was inconsequential.

let me guess.. what are you 14.. or one of those libertarian types (same thing I suppose).

It was a sh*t thread... likely deleted if you can't find it. Don't like the management.. go to Progears..  lots of patience there for juvenile threads and posters  LOL Clap


I see, libertarian point of view is not allowed on here (btw I'm not a libertarian but it doesn't matter). You decide who's 14, who's mature. Such attitude is called totalitarianism.

And I'd rather choose libertarianism than that brainwashing leftist bullsh*t.

yeah.. what about my freedom of speech and all my hidden/deleted posts telling the (classic) admin team they were bunch of old farts who wouldn't know progressive if it bit them on the ass.

hah...

not to mention all of my hidden posts telling Raff what I was going to do to her the next time I saw her..

or all my hidden posts to Ivan telling him what I was going to do to HIM the first time I saw him.

Freedom of Speech? pfffff....

Freedom of speech does not apply to privately-owned entities such as this site. It's like asking somebody to put up with being insulted in their own home. Though I am not American, I seem to know how the First Amendment works better than many born-and-bred US people.

As far as I am aware the Admins are not in the habit of disappearing threads. They cannot however, cater for numpties who either cannot be arsed to create threads in the proper lounge or even remember where the created the thread in the first place.

Thumbs Up Thanks for the work.

The flood control is still in place. I think it's pretty conservative last time I checked, with a required 5 seconds between posts or something like that, and I removed the cap on # of posts per minute a while ago too.

^I guess I should have said that the new software allows the elimination of a spam user account in two clicks. There is a spam filter that I can apply, but I'd be afraid it would be too aggressive, so I'm happy to stay with manual deletion. But auto deletion tools do exist at our disposal, if needed.

Clap Excellent news - glad to see better spam-control tools are at your disposal.

Excluding Newbs from voting on polls is I guess still a necessary restriction, which is a bit of a shame given that it was introduced to prevent people creating duplicate accounts to manipulate polls. When the ability to create multiple accounts is curtailed perhaps that too can be lifted.
