i would have my " not the real steam room thread" put back in the forum
:giggle:

ok I just read this in another thread and went
mad

:x then thought hang on chill probable a joke so I searched.
So where is it confused

:
and why exactly was it removed :?:
I thought it was an extremley funny thread that was having a gentle dig.
Please can this be explained in here what was wrong so that I for one don't fall in the trap of having a thread removed.
Considering all the bitching going on in other threads and how down people are why remove it :?:

Is it behind the sofa?
Under the table?
dunno

If I close my eyes and count to 100 will you turn me round and round and round until I'm dizzy and set me off looking??
wink

Seriously - Sercher knows. Slightly different to 'God knows' but not too far away.
:P

Nope... I have no intention of telling them what I've told you.

Seeing as the original poster has been told and given the site rules which are very clear:

Why has my post/thread been locked/deleted!?
Firstly, please carefully read our Forum Posting Guidelines to gain some insight as to why this may have happened. Also, refamiliarize yourself with the forum registration terms you agreed to, paying particular attention to this section: You agree that the webmaster, administrator and moderators of this forum have the right to remove, edit, move or close any topic at any time should they see fit.
Usually when a post is locked the reason is given by the Moderator who locked it. If your post/thread was deleted then it was most likely considered so pointless or such an infringement of the AUP that it should no longer remain on the site.
The possible reasons your post/thread was locked or deleted are too numerous to mention here, so we simply ask you to accept the decision and move on. What we certainly do NOT want to see is yet another post asking why your previous one was locked or deleted.
If you think your rights as a forum member have been abused and you want to have the matter looked into, please see our abuse page and send us as much information as possible, including your forum username and the link to, or content of, the post in question.

and the reasons where given in a PM which should remain 'private' I hope that the sun can set.
:P

That sounds like don't do this because I said so, last time I looked I was an adult and a paying member of this site. I quite agree there should be rules and they need to be followed.
I have asked a simple question in regard what I saw as very funny thread and absoulutley no explaination as to its dissaperance, this means I and everyone else in this site have no idea when their thread might be taken off. All I have asked for is an explaination.

not to knock the mods as you all do a fantastic job on here but!
surely if someone askes a question and is then pointed to the AUP's but still hasnt got the answer he/she was looking for they should ask a mod?
being in a position of authority you are still answerable for your actions ( altho i will say it wasnt jag's who pulled the thread)
i started the thread and give full permition for the explanitory PM to be aired here
this is a democracy i hope not a dictatorship ?????
even the priminister is answerabl for his action to someone ( i hope :dunno: )

sorry this is not normally me but im not a happy F***ing bunny
i only asked a question :!: :!: :!: :!: :!: :!: :!: :!:
i will not be on for the rest of the night

I removed the thread this afternoon. I haven't been on again since, though I have been in PM contact with Sercher.
The Mods are not happy about the way the Steam Room is being used at the moment. It was supposed to be a place for members to let off steam and get things off their chest. Some have started using it as a place to flirt and treat it like any other thread, which loses the whole point of having it.
The Steam Room was moved for clearing out so we took the opportunity to leave it out for a few days whilst we discussed the best way forward with it.
I decided that it was not right then to allow an "unofficial" steam room to run in the forum, in the same way we would not allow an unofficial GFZ to run during the week.
The Steam Room will be replaced soon so keep that steam building up!! confused
