Missing thread


Nigello

Recommended Posts

Possibly because the thread was merely speculation - other than surmise there is no evidence of any crime or even fatality (criminal or otherwise). Police tapes go up for a myriad of different reasons. Until such time as there is anything actually to say, saying nothing may be understood as the best policy. At the worst it arouses fears or suspicions which may be entirely unjustified, with no obvious remedy normally of scotching them, once the speculative thread is out of the bag.

I agree the title and original post was speculative but the other posts offered extra sources, so I see no problems big enough to warrant a complete removal. I'm unimpressed with the criteria employed (this time) to remove a post.

How can you be unimpressed by the criteria employed to remove a post when you don't know what the criteria was?


We were asked to remove it by an authority because the family had not been informed and it may cause them distress to read the thread.

Tell us the criteria! You allow speculation on some topics, not others. I can understand that some posts need to be treated in ways that are different from certain others but I don't know how you decide that, or indeed whether you have a thought-out policy at all (as opposed to a case-by-case approach).

If some poor person has died whether in suspicious circumstances or not, surely you can see why family and friends may not want to read a thread "about" it. It's Hardly speculating about a potential M&S opening.

What Otta said. I just told you the criteria, we were asked to remove it.


Apart from the obvious removal of postings that are distressing, illegal, racist etc there's not really a thought out criteria. There's a bit more on the Terms of Use page but I don't think there needs to be anything so formal.

    • Option 1.  Let them go bust.  Government takes over, until an appropriate solution found.  This happens with failing train operating companies  Option 2.  Anyone who made money on the privatisation, or their immediate descendants, bail them out  Obviously the latter isn't going to happen but makes me feel better/superior. What do you reckon?  Big picture.  Small picture as I posted elsewhere is that they were good when we had a leaking main.  And of course mass redundancies need to be avoided.

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw
