Why is shareing woes thread locked?

[Gingerwitch]

As above I cant see any rude posts or nastiness, so why would a thread just get locked ?

 

[cobgoblin]

It doesn't seem to be locked.. Unless I'm looking at the wrong thread.

 

[dogatemysalad]

Thats strange. It seems very normal and polite. Perhaps some posts were removed ?

If it’s ‘the safe place to feel down’ thread I’ve just done a test post and it worked

I can’t even see it.

It’s this thread. I assume the OP appealed to admin to have it locked. I’m unsure if their stance on thread removal has changed recently.

It's on next page of tack room. Dont know how to post a link.

I suspect someone was able to identify her

When I appealed to admin to remove a post of mine as on reflection I wasn't happy with potential real life implications... the response was "tough". So perhaps policy has changed ?

What if an admin is the owner of the share horse ? *suspenseful music plays*



Just kidding around here...I hope ?

But did they lock your post ?

But did they lock your post ?

Nope. They said they had looked and no T&Cs had been contravened. I only wanted them to remove one post as I had got worried about it but was too late to edit.

Probably depends who’s on duty, I’ve had threads locked on request but not deleted

 

[Bernster]

So obv now I’ve had to read it ?

 

[AmyMay]

Deleted

I posted the thread after a really rubbish day when I needed to have a bit of a rant and as I mentioned haven't been on this forum for almost 10 years so had no idea once a thread is up it can't be removed...

I received some really great advice but started feeling a bit paranoid and thought probably best to take it down seeing as it was a specific personal situation and probably not helpful to anyone else. So I messaged admin and asked if it was possible to remove a thread but they said no and just locked it without asking...

For what it's worth, I thought you came across as very fair and genuine. It was a very eloquent post that many people might identify with from both sides of the fence. Totally understand your concerns about putting it out there though.

I’m glad it was an ‘in case’ issue rather than you getting grief

That's odd because a contentious thread from yesterday was removed and I got an infraction [not unusual tbf!]
