Big_Stu Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 [quote name='Conan' timestamp='1358239749' post='1935184'] OK, I'm a bit slow in the mornings, but I can't seem to find the long-running thread about the missing/damaged MM Bongo today? Has it been deleted? [/quote] Usually when I can't find a thread I know I posted in recently I'll go to "My Posts" & find it that way, I don't have any posts from that thread in "My Post" so my guess is that it's not been deleted - it's been nuked! Fair do's though, it had served it's purpose, or not, but it had gone as far as it was going to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] True, although I am kind of uncomfortable with the idea of it being removed altogether. Smacks of censorship... Locking it is one thing...

Gust0o Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 It smacks of resolution - I hope! Gareth made a request for the thread to be removed from view. He's in communication with the shop to hopefully resolve the issues he's experienced, and he didn't want the thread to become a barrier to that resolution - that, and he felt it had run it's course. As such, I've hidden it from view. Naturally, I've asked Gareth to keep us all updated with how he gets on - and if he wants to do it in the same old thread, I'll bring it back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conan Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 So the content of a thread remains the intellectual property of the thread starter? They get to decide when a thread should be pulled?? Not sure about that at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Just look at the T&Cs. Some threads that are requested to be pulled are, some aren't. Moderators choice I guess. Fair or not, not a non mod's choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[s]When[/s] If it turns out that there's nothing wrong with the nut and some who made [i]liberal use of their oars[/i] in the "discussion" have more or less named the shop, which may well have an alternative and plausible version of events then BC could be on shakey ground as carrier of any alleged libel. Worse than that - the shop may even be an agent for Rickenbacker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charic Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Unfortunately the thread got out of hand, some of the messages being sent had an aggressive undertone, were getting too personal or were not of any help at all to the OP's situation. For this reason when the OP requested that the thread be removed from view we quickly agreed it was the best course of action. The thread was already well on the radar and we were already discussing how best to handle the situation, everything lined up nicely all at the same time and we decided that it was best for all involved that it was removed from view.

fretmeister Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I was enjoying the thread. Not for the original aim, but mainly for the contrary opinions and the huge amount of epic wrongness about the law. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conan Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 Some facts, some opinion, some argument, a small potential for being regarded as libellous... sounds like a lot of the threads on here! What I am uneasy with is the idea of the OP getting sick of a thread and asking mods to hide/remove it. Thin end of the wedge and all that.

[/quote] I reckon someone's already nailed it in the partner thread to this one. I'd never seen a compensated nut up close like that, so I reckon MM20 assumed the step on the G was broken & told it wasn't. The "blemish" polished out, so there was a whole lot of egg looking for a face to occupy. Just a theory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the post was 'dangerous' to someone/something, then I can see why it was pulled, but agree about other motives. But if someone was close to naming a shop...for example, then how unthinking was that..?? putting it politely I am guessing here as I did not see the thread...well, It was about a Bongo...
