Disappearing threads. It drives me bonkers both from a readers point of view and a poster.
I create a thread that takes me ages, the issue has always puzzled me. It is new [as in it hasn't been covered yet] and throughout time, some people
that didn't see it on the front page might find it under paranormal. But no, it is gone.
I couldn't care less about the front page, that is just half of this site. The other half is going back to the forums and browsing in my own time,
finding gems.
But I fear how many gems I have missed knowing that they have just been erased, only existing in the OPs statistics.
What bothers me most of all is what is the criteria?
I had 3 flags and 6 comments. When I look into the forums there are threads still there with less. And when I read them they are neither special nor
interesting.
So what have those threads got that mine didn't?
I am quite p*ssed off about this. Why not keep them at least for a certain amount of time? There may be people with an answer out there that read it
later.
I love reading older threads, I found some that were amazing to me but maybe didn't make it for the majority. So what?
I think if someone put effort in, if they got flags, the thread should stay.
Sometimes people miss them on the front, because not every body hangs out on here 24/7.
Please answer me:
- Criteria for chucking someone's work in a bin
- Reasons for no just keeping them going for a while
- Why can't we get a little message at least telling us that our hard work has just been dumped because someone thought it was rubbish?
I will now spam my own thread if I can because I want it to stay da*nit!
