posted in here so hopefully the comedy crowd don't get onto it, anyway

How come there are so many thread locks / deletions now?

Anything with NTB or what may or may not have happened at BTaP gets and immediate lock, what gives?

Yet NTB who is obviously back under a different name is allowed to post, even when most of the post are just toned down versions of what he has already posted.

Really this censorship isn't doing you any favours.

To be fair though, there's a lot of,

  • NTB
  • What happened to NTB?
  • Why was the NTB thread locked?
  • Why was the why was the NTB thread locked thread locked?
  • Why was the why was the why was ... ?
Which is meaning several locked threads each go, rather than one locked thread, and one hint taken.

Look there's nothing sinister going on, NTB was banned at the weekend it had nothing to do with anything that happened and BT&P, NOBODY to my knowledge has evened mentioned BT&P.

No censorship, only one thread got deleted by me because it when off topic and the OP was also banned so he's not posting anymore!

A few posts were closed relating to NTB because they were all asking the same questions that weren’t related to his banning, they can still all be seen on P&P if you go back.

Your probably better to ask someone to email you as to what happened off PH over the weekend.

So you up to date now? smile

Really I don't care what did or didn't happen, but recently this and the 'incident' at BTaP has resulted in instant thread deletion or locking.

You'd be better off just letting the thread run and die

The more you lock them the more people will ask

NTB was banned on Saturday for his attitude on these forums and no other reason. Seperately from this he turned up at a PH meeting and both issues were discussed on the NTB - You about? thread before the thread was closed with a comment from the mods.

The mods have a policy of deleting reposts of locked threads which is exactly what has been happening to all the following NTB threads, nothing sinister.

The BTAP incident involved Deevlash and FrenchTVR (who is now banned), but everybody is keeping shtum about it irked, hence only those that were there know what happened
