Why Does This Happen?

Sage04 — Wed, 01 Apr 2020 22:07:06 GMT

My first time starting a thread and it´s about something that gets me mad.

For the past few weeks I tried posting on a thread only to find out that it´s no longer there. This happened at least three times and then just a few minutes ago. I don´t like this. Guess I´ll go and look at reruns of Matlock lol.

Oh my goodness, it worked. I started a Thread or Post or whatever. I´m proud of myself.

@Sage04 ..if you read the threads you will see that we are limited on what we can say...if people argue, or it is religious, or becomes political...poof, gone!

@Sage04 Did you try to post on a thread that got deleted? If so, it wasn't you

it happens.

@september usually it´s something I´m interested in and poof it´s gone. Hope it does not happen to this one.

@Sage04 It seems some days threads are closed with an explanation or just disappear entirely at an amazing rate. It's a mystery to me. Other days we can have ongoing discussions, it's hit or miss.

@Sage04 Never a guarantee. As long as everyone stays on topic and abides by the "rules" we'll be good!

@occasionalrain yea, sometimes I wonder if I was dreaming. It´s as if it never existed.

It seems as though more and more threads are poofed for being argumentative whether there's an argument or not. Sometimes it's just a heated discussion. If a thread's not unicorns and rainbows, it's gone.

It really does seem to have crossed the line in many instances...

@Sage04 -

It is disappointing and sometimes seems to have no rhyme or reason.

Congrats on your first post!

I know it can be unnerving!

I felt the same way, plus not knowing when the meanies will appear but now I guess I don't give as much of a heck cause they will always get pleasure out of coming out, and it doesn't really matter anymore.

And everyone knows and they know who they are.

It is unfortunate that posts are not deleted instead of entire threads but it probably is too time consuming for mods to go thru and delete some and not others. That in itself would probably cause more controversy.

We'll keep on keeping on

Almost all of us have had at least one thread go bye-bye, at least once.

@Anonymous032819 this is my first Thread. I´m talking about Threads that I was trying to post on. The last one was this evening. About to hit Send and got the message that I couldn´t.

I have been here for many, many years, allways had fun reading and laughing, decided to start posting and tonight was the first I started a Thread because I didn´t understand why this keeps happening.

Anyway, life goes on. More important thing to think about.
