How come my ethnic post was closed????

I got the feeling that it was turning into a venting thread... i.e - someone has a ethnically-based gripe (legitimate or otherwise), and they will vent it in that thread. I don't think any of YOUR posts were offensive, but a couple of others' could have easily been misconstrued. I was personally hoping the thread would be locked and removed before it did spill out of control, and somebody did start posting vile racist rubbish.
Obviously I have no control over deletions and closures, but perhaps my butting-in here may give some sort of idea, incase the relevant moderators can't answer your queries promptly.

Can you tell us why, CJH or Bluey (whichever one deleted it)?

It was neither of them. I locked the thread as it was showing signs of heading into dangerous territory.
Most of the posts were well-reasoned and restrained but it seemed to be going in a direction that would have had bad implications for some Big Footy members and could have sparked a string of unsavoury personal posts.
That's how I saw it.
 
Yeah what HE said!

WCE, little tip.

I never even entered the thread because of its title. I assumed it would be a racially motivated bitch fight so I left it alone. This is what I do with any threads that I think will be a waste of time.

Next time perhaps head the thread a little better. ( I am assuming it was the Lebanese thread we are talking about here)
 
hmmmmmm

interesting.

I did not read the post so I am clearly talking out of my rectum...but

I find it odd that we would delete a post which "looks like it might" go somewhere. Either something offensive was posted or it was not. Clearly it is not possible to predict where a thread is going to go.

keep up the good work though....the boards have improved a lot.

ptw

Just a minor point. No post was deleted - the thread was closed.
