Maybe he was complaining about topics being deleted for no good reason.

Impossible. There's always a good reason.

It looked like it was going to end up as another watch thread.

Don't know who deleted it, but as with all celebratory posting count threads it was removed. As they all are. Surely you've been here long enough to know that by now, or the complete lack of any other threads like it in the forums could have been a clue

Well if you don't mind my saying so, that's completely out of order. We put up with an awful lot of totally shit, meaningless and stupid threads on P&P 'oh yes you did' 'oh no you didn't' 'nuke it from orbit' blah blah and they run to pages of pointless stupid drivel.

People who post, 5,10,20,000 times are doing PH a favour in terms of page hits and helping the business justify more ad revenue, so I'm somewhat cross - especially as nobody had THE SIMPLE DECENCY to contact me with an explanation. Furthermore, the post did not infringe any posting guidelines that I'm aware of.

So, mods, if you're watching this, kindly come out of kinding and tell me exactly WHY you have such a problem with somebody saying 'I've posted 20,000 times'. Are you ashamed of it? Must it be kept secret? Your answer please, because as PH veteran I ing deserve better treatment, and not to be treated like some spotty 16 y/o troll kid.

Simpo, please take a quick moment, step back and re-read what you have just read, and consider whether you sound like a wingey moaney sad git who really should pull his head out of his arse.

Its great that you are a very active member, but to be celebrating just how much time you spend posting is just plain sad, and really, no one else gives a hoot.

If you don't cool down, and stop abusing us, then you might want to log off for the night before some Mod (most likely Ted) takes offence and hauls you up on it.

You are invited here to join in, however PH isn't a god given right for you to spout any old crap you like. And as Mods thats why we take time to help Ted run the site for what it is today.

Dear Points of View...

John, chill out mate. This is an internet forum. Yes an email when it was deleted would have been good, but if that was omitted then so be it. Let's retain some sense of proportion.

Agreed. Being insulted by a mod as well didn't help. I have suggested to him that he should adopt your own well-balanced style of moderation which we all appreciate and has helped to make PH the success it is.



It remains a pity that somehting intended as harmless fun became a needless squabble. I'm sorry that Neil found it uninteresting, but I can't please everybody.

On that note, let's put this one to bed.
