Groan thread closed..Why?

[ovrszd]

Same crap goes on at another forum I've been active on for more than 20 years. Their posting policies are rigidly enforced on just about exactly half of the spectrum. Calling them out or complaining works about as well there as it does here.

In one of my posts that was deleted I talked about HEF forum. 10 years ago it was very active. Today it's maybe 30% of what it was. The people with power let it go to their heads and ran off a LOT of very valuable members.

I don;t understand why the Groans were shut down.
It would be nice ti know why so we can help not get it shut down again.
I don;t think we need to know who did it, or who shut it down. Just why so we can figure out what is happening.
I am on other sites, and beginning to spend more time there.

You better hurry on over to the replacement, groans quatre. It's already suffering from removed posts......

I just wish the person that shut down the thread had the stones to man up and tell us why the thread was shut down. I saw nothing to shut the thread down. Certainly not the last post. A chocolate bunny rabbit? Really?. How the "heck" are we supposed to learn what is offensive when no one will tell us what is offensive. What and who was it that crossed the line and that was so egregious to lock a very popular thread. Nope, you just get a stone wall of silence. No comment, no reason, not even a hint. Personally I think we are OWED an explanation. Without the hundreds of core contributors this site would fold like a house of cards. The sound of silence. It could work both ways.

Couldn't agree more. Very well said.

Agree with a lot of what is being said, but I also see just about everyone on this website getting offended in one way or another. Even some of the pseudo tough guys cry about some really silly stuff.

Especially when stuff at wallyworld is out of stock...

Your video was highly political, and frankly, I'm surprised you're not on vacation. To me it appears your politics align with "their" politics. Not really fair now, is it?

HA! If I had posted Richard's video, I would be on a month long vacation... Nothing wrong with rules; untill they only apply to a few.

Depends on how much you rely on oil for oil changes, or DEF to deliver what I grow.
You? Wouldnt have to worry for your toys. You sold them anyway
Me? I rely on tractors, trucks to make a living.

BIG difference mr flood.

The video made solid points as to where our society is headed and the migration that's propelling it. If you got hung up on the politics sprinkled in then you were prejudiced toward that type of thinking from the start.

Oh, you'll just hafta trust me on this one..... My politics absolutely, positively does not align with the Admin's. Trust me.
