Thread has run it's course

hckynut — Thu, 11 May 2017 00:12:08 GMT

That's a new one to me. Saw a post(just started today)/wanted to comment since I had not seen it before. And I read my "thread title".

Hi John, I have seen that before.

It's usually when bullies start to chastise others.

Thank you for your reply. I understand the need for moderators, but I don't get "their opinion" of when they feel they know, in 10 hours, that commenting on any thread, that does not violate standards has "run it's course". Sounds way to arbitrary to me.

Just sayin'

....and sometimes you want to know how the story ends!

@hckynut. I read some of the thread and I think there were some not so nice remarks to the op. If I'm thinking of the right thread.

Hi John: Sometimes, when the thread doesn't go the way the OP wants it to, he/she decides to lodge a complaint and that's when they close the thread. I agree with you, even though you might agree with the OP - still I don't think the Mod was fair. Looks very childish to me. But JMO as usual. Take care.........

@wonderfulworld. If I have the right thread, it is still there for anyone to read.

There are several, one recently was the poster whose married friend left work sick and she was calling hospitals. Others about people waiting for medical biopsies (black toe nail?). Maybe I just have missed the end of the story.

@wonderfulworld. It starts, does a minor disappointment........ It's in community.

I don't see Marp's line about drugs. I was one talking to one poster, both of us were polite. I left for lunch with DH and just came back now and it's gone. I don't see it, either, just went up in a cloud, apparently. No one was out of line when I left hours ago.

In some cases a thread's closed down after the OP reports it to the Mods and requests a shutdown.

So one answer is that the OP no longer wants responses.

Yep, when the pile on starts, it's time to jump ship, lol.

I had one that the MOD labeled, no one was nasty, seemed like all nice comments, mine went to 10 pages I believe. It was SO important that I can't remember what it was about, too funny.

That's the chances you take when you are just a "visitor" and don't own the forum. Oh well.

Why is it when someone disagrees with an OP, it's called a "pile-on" or "board bullies", etc??? Heaven forbid someone has a different opinion. Then the Mod Squad is called in and the OP disappears.

If your post is directed at me, I'm happy to clarify because I know the difference. Oh and btw, I don't report the absurdity, I let the MODS decide when to put something to rest.

It wasn't directed at you at all. I didn't even know you had a thread. LOL Actually, my post is "generic"......

Cool, I guess I'm annoyed that my thread about abused co-workers went all the way crazy, people were sharing some pretty important stuff but some just can't help themselves.

Ita it's too bad it was closed. Important subject.

It's still available to read tho, not deleted just closed to comments.

@sophiamarie,

Love your use of the term "mod squad."

Loved that show, too.
