Question for Moderators

[Guy Chamberlin]

The Bill Callahan Returns thread was locked.

 

What's the ruling on that?

 

And why have a couple of my more whimsical posts disappeared without a trace or explanation?

 

I see no Terms of Service rules broken in any of these cases, nor anyone in danger of being hurt.

Probably because it was full of crap...waste of space, and totally stupid. Just my personal opinion there....

There are no fixed criteria for closing threads. We generally will close any thread that looks to be generating a flame war, of course. And we'll close what I'll call "nonsense" threads - threads that are not seriously related to Husker football.

 

The Bill Callahan thread was locked for the latter reason - it should have been posted in the BS forum.

 

In addition, the option exists to move those threads. That may be what happened to some of yours. In some cases, we leave a "pointer" to the thread in the forum from which it was moved. In some, we don't. It's up to the Mod or Admin who moves it.

 

Finally, there are merged threads. On occassion, someone will start a thread about a subject that's already been posted. When we merge them, one of the threads "disappears" into the other. We've had some members believe we've deleted their threads/post when all we've done is merged them.

 

If you want to locate your posts or topics, you can click on your screen name. Then, click on the button on the right hand side for Options. You can then list all of your posts or all of your topics.

Done that. But no. The posts no longer exist.

 

If they fell under the "waste of space" category....uhm.....well that's a critereon that would threaten an awful lot of posts around here, and quite possibly the very existence of online bulletin boards .

 

And the Bill Callahan Returning to Nebraksa thread didn't come a country mile of the Cody Glenn thread in terms of requiring moderation.

 

Just my two cents.
