And repost my thread.

This is foo. If i post something irrelevant it should remain here.

You know this.

And dont act like the title was offensive, either. You know it wasnt compared to many others that stay.

Come from behind your moderator curtain and tell the forum why you did this.

whoever you are.

No. I made a thread last night called "joint laced with PCP and embalming fluid"

And then someone deleted it. Then I was denied access to foo for a while.

I don't know what's going on here, or why. I was not informed that I broke any rules, or anything. I want my thread back.

I'm not the one who trashed that thread, so I went and had a look at it. I've got a pretty good idea why it was deleted. It went way beyond "irrelevant" - no one can understand it. Foo can be a place to post silly things, but we do draw the line at incomprehensible.

BTW, no one in the moderation team would have brought this to a public thread if you had not done so.

I've put the OP on a subliminal ignore list. LIke you donna, I couldn't make head nor tail of that thread, nor the other one with the drug reference. Since when is it acceptable to start pushing illicit drugs in thread titles on a public forum like that that is open to people at work, and worse, minors? It's bad enough the language that is exposed to minors around here, but the "shock jock" illicit drug references definitely go beyond the pale.

And while I am at it, why is maximan1 being allowed to post drug reference threads, too? I don't recall him being of legal age, either. We are a bike forums, not an illicit drug education campaign.

donnamb

Rowan, do you mean a thread or his signature? Either way, thanks for letting us know.

Brian

If i post something irrelevant it should remain here.

No more threads with drugs in the titles, and no more references to drugs, unless it's a discussion of Landis.

Thanks,

Brian

... Since when is it acceptable to start pushing illicit drugs in thread titles on a public forum like that that is open to people at work, and worse, minors?...

You are very right. I really was 'pushing' illicit drugs in those 2 threads. In fact, I was trying to promote them. I thought the "foo" forum on the website bikeforums.net would be one of the best places to get kids hooked on the drugs, since that particular section of the site is so popular to minors. I am hoping to reach kids by the millions! I thought that if I only named a thread after the drug, that would educate the minors about the drug all by itself. In fact, I actually was extremely descriptive while "pushing" this drug, describing where minors could find it and how to use it properly while evading arrest.

... Not!

Get real.

Acting retarded on a forum is not a crime. If anyone saw that title while at work, I do apologize. In that case I can see why titles like that should be banned.

But 'pushing' an illegal drug? You are out of your mind.

From our community guidelines which everyone agrees to stay within:

Intelligence
We’re a community with quality standards and expect our members will make a sincere effort to contribute their thoughts on interesting subjects in a meaningful and respectful manner. Posting messages and otherwise interacting on BikeForums is completely optional; many members often prefer to just read what others have to say. But if you do post, we expect that you’ll be respectful of the time of others by posting meaningfully.

While foo is a bit more lax in this area, there is a line that eventually must be drawn. There are other areas of the guidelines that I feel your post came close to falling out of bounds with, including the disruption guideline. I was not the moderator who moved your thread, but I agree with their decision.
