Hi guys

I have pm'd Everett about on of my threads and I have seen Alot of threads being deleted. Just recently a "stolen barndoor" was deleted like 20 mins ago. Everett told me that mine was removed for being "pointless". By a Mod. Im just curious to know why all of these threads are being deleted...

Thanks for any info

Vincent

2 is not a lot. :)

The stolen thread was removed because the person who posted deleted his comments and it was requested to be removed. This happens from time to time.

Useless threads are often removed, sometimes because they are stupid, sometimes because of comments from other members.

We also delete, or lock, threads daily for these reasons (off the top of my head):
Duplicate threads
People who cross-post in multiple Forums
People who post in the wrong Forum, then post in the right forum later
New threads that people start when they should have continued their original thread.
Threads where we already have a FAQ thread about the same topic and want all conversation there.

Thank you. I understand why they are locked/ deleted. I also know now what not to post :wink:
Thanks!
