It's disappeared from the Media and Arts sub-forum.

Yeah I wonder if a mod was annoyed at the wrestling thread constantly getting big pops and getting over on its own so they got the shovel out.  If it doesn't reappear over the next few days I'll just start a new one.

how long was the thread?

There's a 1700-page wrestling thing in the bin but I don't know if it's just deleted posts or what.

Removed due to high maintenance. If you start a new one and it goes down the same path it will get the same treatment.

What was the high maintenance, I don't remember there being any aggro in there recently?  Are you guys getting loads of reports off it?

Handbags in the past and a high report rate.

Sorry to labour the point, but a recent high report rate?  I know it had problems in the past but I'm just curious about what triggered the deletion this time round as I don't remember there being any fisticuffs in there over the past few weeks.

Cue company line....

The moderation team give their own time, unpaid, to moderate the site. It's an LFC site first and foremost, so all other areas are not a priority. If the time and effort to manage a non-LFC part of the site become too onerous then it will be removed.

I'm not opposed to you starting a new thread but if it goes the same way as the last one it will get the same treatment.

Ok, will start a new thread and tell people to stop reporting stuff all the time.

Don't do that. The report button is there for a reason, if someone is breaking the rules it should be reported.

What you need to do is tell people to stay on topic and not break the rules in the first place!

Plus the fiscticuffs stuff is quite often binned before most get to see it.

Titi is 100000000000% correct re the official line. We're a footie site first and foremost and if enough stuff hits our radar and takes our time out to manage, then we bin it. End of.

Some call it heavy-handed modding but we're not about to have a long and tedious Staff Room debate over whether a non-footie-related thread in the non-footie part of the site deserves what some might very tightly define as 'fair treatment'.

Seems there is tacit permission to start a new thread (which, by the way, is what you need - you can't unilaterally say you're starting one just cos you want to ;) ).

It will be a (*) thread - cos that's what we do with stuff that gets our attention :)

Pfft, mods are wimps.  Yeah, you heard me.  Come fight me, 4-on-1 handicap match this Sunday at RAWKlemania, brother!

I Just noticed that my post count went from 1000+ to 805. I guess this is the reason why?
