that's very odd, just an email saying


You are receiving this email because you are following the thread:


Re: any local hikers/trekkers/ramblers/walkers etc out there?



but when I click on it I get


Sorry, the message you have requested could not be found.


most strange, any ideas anyone?

Unfortunately we don't have time to tell everyone who has to have their posts moved/edited/removed for whatever reason (it's probably about 15 a day) as it would leave no time for me to tend to my herbaceous border.

Huguenot - I can find nowhere that says that duplicate threads will be removed, and that wasn't the reason I was given when I queried the deletion.


Admin - I appreciate that you must have an extremely busy job, and obviously without people to administer a forum there would be chaos. But the reason this forum is so successful is because of the hundreds of people who contribute to it. People like me who use it to offer opinions, share news, or recommend anything from tree surgeons to locally grown vegetable bags.. and to sell stuff or give it away. So when I post a message asking for advice and kindly receive it, only to have that advice permanently removed without warning, I find it unduly harsh and wonder why administration isn't buying into this give-and-take culture that other forumites subscribe to?


The thread could have been moved, as you have demonstrated with this one, deleting it was very inconsiderate.

I'm not creating another rule to state the bleeding obvious about duplicate posts, there's too many rules already.


What usually happens in this 'give-and-take culture' is people say "sorry, I didn't realise that I shouldn't post a message in both the What's on section AND the ED issues section, especially as I now realise it's not a East Dulwich issue and was actually trying to give it more coverage by slipping it through the net" Then I say "oh, ok, I'll put it back up but in the correct section for you".


This hasn't happened this time, I'm being told that I've done wrong for keeping the forum tidy, am harsh and inconsiderate.


Edited to add: Sometimes I maybe those things but in this case it's about removing your duplicate post.

Duplicate posts are about trying to dominate the forum to promote whatever particular subject you happen to think is important to you at the expense of of other people.


I can't really believe that anybody would think it was somehow an act of generosity to spam the forum?


The bizarre reality is that when other people spam the forum they'd be the first to jump on it, but if they do it themselves it's somehow righteous.


Imagine what the forum would look like if everyone started repeating themselves all over it? Ridiculous sense of self righteousness from tarafitness.

    • I'd also recommend Silvano for anyone in the area looking to learn automatic, having just passed first time with 5 minors. He's a very patient teacher and ensured I learned how to drive safely above all. 
    • You don't need to do the research. I had to know the numbers as a TV buyer. I analysed the potential advertising revenue and Channel Four didn't cover their costs. They had some nice 'Channel Four' signs when someone hit the ropes but, In all honesty, a lot a potential revenue was lost because most old knackers were pissed off because they couldn't perve at Carol Vorderman on 'Countdown'.       Sorry, cross-post. I was replying to Malumbu. Give me a minute, if you will. I listened to the first two sessions (today) on TMS and popped down to the pub for the evening one.   I do miss the days of Peter West, Richie Benaud and Tom Graveney on BBC2.   But, the BBC are at least putting on 'Today At The Test' on at around 7pm instead of after midnight.   And it was on the 10pm news.      
    • "PGC, do you reckon this 'Anderson -Tendulkar' series could make Tests a bit more interesting to the wider word?" Alas no. Until it comes back to terrestial telly, I think it will always suffer from elitism(?).  Excepting The Guardian, cricket is barely mentioned in other press. I am fortunate in that my daughter has just added me to her subscription on NOW TV. It has been great to watch this test; it really could have gone either way, eariler in the day, which always makes it more exciting. The only bugbear is that I am a TMS afficianado, and they are about eight deliveries ahead of the tv! I thought Tongue was excellent in mopping up the tailenders, and Duckett was a delight to watch. Bumrah and Jadeja were brilliant to see. I'm sure the Edgbaston crowd will have tremendous supporters for both sides. PS: I don't think Jofra will be back on the strength of one county wicket.
    • Why it a strange first post Sue?  We all have to start somewhere! These kids have created a situation where they have been very unpleasant. Surely their physical appearance etc is a key factor in identifying them?  I don’t understand. Are you defending these kids?
