Curious why the Monday theme thread was pulled. I asked TER and the response was not an answer. Did someone see something I didn't?
I posted, Natalie posted and, that visiting Fox, Alex posted..... What was the problem/issue?

You have to stay logged in or log in really frequently or you'll miss stuff. Randomly deleting posts and removing all traces of posts is a way to keep us on our toes.

Man have YOU come to the right place! This group knows EVERYTHING!

Photo Theme Day:

Hi there SG.    I thought that was odd too.  

Yeah... Maybe it's that.... I asked why my post was pulled because I was confused. This is the response given: "the entire thread was pulled".

That should give you a reason the post was removed or some insight. Might help you narrow the reason down possibly.

But I believe I've seen more threads yanked in recent months than I have in the preceding 9+ years.  It seems like TER's default response to any reported problem with a thread is to yank the whole thing.  It's most unfortunate IMHO.

...one Admin person might be more 'by the rules' than another. It kind of works the same way with reviews, I believe. One review editor may be more strict than the next. Just speculating.

Hey did you at least noticed that the "scary rules changed just after new years.  

and went to generic global moderation they seemed to go from subtle guidance to dropping one ton bombs. It's interesting that a site that's completely driven by forums and reviews is using a tactic that will drive down the activity like that. This has to be the 4th thread that I've noticed regarding this issue and I rarely come here any more (mostly because you can't discuss important topics relating to the hobby)

I just believe to many threads that could keep all of us safe get deleted!!!

I had my old site link on the pic, so essentially I broke the rules. Not sure about Samantha's pic tho, or the other one. Was very surprised myself to see it gone! Hope I didn't ruin it for all, I'll pay more attention next time!  

I am pretty sure I knew how to do that already.  
The answer given for removal, caused me to send them a problem report.  
The problem report was a politician answer (MEANING NO ANSWER AT ALL), "the whole thread was removed."
So, then I posted here.
-------
The threads links I posted were NOT about the pics in them, rather the fact they had some text written in the message part of the post.  
Because as far as I, or Portia for that matter, this seems to be the only reason it (IT being the entire thread) removed.  

Theme threads/photo threads can be posted 3x a week.  
My guess is what Drummy suggested, or some one reported the post because they cannot handle all the sexy that was going on.

Which I've seen before, they just remove the single post on the thread that violates.  
You didn't ruin it for TER. TER RUINED IT FOR ALL OF US.  

This whole thing is just getting too nit-picky for me.  I've lost my gumption to play on the TER playground.

seems like a lot of others are sick of TER too!    Some people used to post regularly, now rarely hear from them.   I blame this on the current state of these boards.    

The boards were much better run back when they were moderated by someone who was knowledgeable about each one.

...in a thread that was deleted, "I was in a photography workshop and I've got proof!" LMAO! Sammy G you're killing me!  

ME!  do it for meeeeeee.  

I think you nailed it there.....   That pic was your sexiest ever!!!  

And not for the better. I don't think the Euro mods understand the meaning of "free speech".

I might have missed it, but I don't think anyone mentioned that.

Any post pulled takes all posts and the "replies" beneath it, so the notion that they pulled he entire post is a bit misleading. Sometimes a post is pulled that's in the middle of a thread and only it goes, unless there were replies, and then they go, too.
