Nigel the gardner thread deleted

[Alan Medic]

Is a moderator behind this? When one poster asked after reading the post, would you buy a guitar from this man, one wondered how he would know the person sold guitars, as was implied.

Though the opening post has been reposted what happened to the other one which had a few comments on it, all of them deleted.

Is this a scandal or an abuse of power? Who deleted the thread and why?

[StraferJack]

oh FFS - his original post is STILL in the business section. All of the others are duplicates which isn't allowed on the forum, so they get deleted - along with all of the other duplicates. Scandal? Lord save us and help us...

I was the one who posted about buying a guitar from him because (gasp!!) I googled his user name

Whatever problems he has with the gardner, he now comes across as a bit of a self-entitled, over complaining, needy sort. If he treated the gardners with this sort of attitude I'm less surprised they didn't spend too much effort on him

[Alan Medic]

So you deleted it?

[Family Room Moderator]

I've removed a couple of posts in the last hour (not the one with replies, that must have been another moderator). Every time I look, there is a new, identical thread started, and as Straferjack points out, the original thread is in the business section where it belongs.

Just as irritating as the kitchen spam and "why do people in their 20s not join social groups" nonsense.

[StraferJack]

"So you deleted it?"

Not me - I have no moderator privileges at all these days as I've said before

But you asked why it was deleted and I gave you several reasons - and your respnse is to point a finger?

[Alan Medic]

No. I asked a question and I don't read everything you write so didn't know what rights you have or don't have. I suppose if it was a doctor who wrote the post you'd advise against using him on the basis of what he writes about gardners?

[StraferJack]

your entire post was "so you deleted it"?

What relevance does that have to your supposed "scandal"?

[Alan Medic]

That's what it was. A supposed 'scandal'.

[david_carnell]

If it helps, Alan, I deleted it.

For the reasons SJ and the FRM listed. It was a duplicate and in the wrong place.

[StraferJack]

you started the thread AM

and you started it with quit a sensational opening post. Maybe you had your tongue in your cheek, I dunno. But the answer to all of your questions would have been blindingly obvious if yougave it a moment's thought

[El Pibe]

my bad, i moved the original thread to the businesses thread with a weary touch of the mouse, but didn't pm the op.

I usually do, but sometimes I just can't sum up the energy.

You've not read this then? I thought I did well. Can't keep it up though. The cavalry arrived.

[StraferJack]

heh!

[LadyDeliah]

What's with all the kitchen spam? Strange. What about carpet spam or bathrooms?

[Salsaboy]

What about tinned Spam?

[KalamityKel]

Urgh!
