It really is getting ridiculous in here.

Jesus Mother Mary and Joseph what is going on here? Are the mod's real names Benito, Augusto or Muammar? Will dissention not be tolerated?
At the risk of starting another 'back when I were a lad it were all fields round here' b
h-fest about the standards on here.... How come it is acceptable for all the newfound keyboard warriors to come in here and post semi-abusive tripe about all sorts of nonsense and yet a relatively harmless thread with no unacceptable images or abusive postings gets shut down because someone doesn't fancy it to be of high enough calibre. Get over yourselves for the love of God. As moleamol alluded to, it's supposed to be Pub banter. Just leave everyone a-goddamn-lone.
Go ahead. Bin me, I don't care anymore this place is going to hell in a handbasket.

Another nail / head moment. Almost certainly followed by another flippant reply from the usual suspect and his trusty padlock.At the risk of starting another 'back when I were a lad it were all fields round here' b

Congratulations on the correct spelling of "ridiculous" by the way

Everyone wants consistency - so we give it.
And we get shot down for it.
Please make up your minds if you want inconsistency.
If you're not happy about the decision then please take it up with the management.
And any argument about it being better when this was just all fields ..... endless oggling threads in P&P - that's just tedious which is why we delete them. That's pretty consistent.

You say about the oggling, however, it was a pretty funny thread?
Well I don't really know why my thread was locked either; all as I wanted was a reasonable answer. How is deleting that thread consistent? None of it was inappropriate and none of it was offensive, it was mainly a few people missing the point and others laughing who their PH comrades fancied. To delete a whole thread without any warning is extreme.
I look after a teeny tiny website and forum (which is voluntary in the spirit of 'we don't get paid') and if we have a controversial thread I at least move it to the admin forum and ask others if it needs deleting/cleaning up/nuking from orbit.

And we did exactly the same thing after it was reported - hence the outcome.We don't delete threads for the fun of it. It's discussed beforehand. We genuinely try not to. But the one key message we hear from everyone is consistency - so we're trying to remain as such.
I'm not here to defend mods actions - so if you are unhappy with the decision then please take it up with the PH management team.

We don't have the time to read every thread and every post.If you see a post that is abusive then please do use the [Report] option on the top right of the post to make us aware of it - and at least appropriate action can be taken .... just like the thread in question which was reported.

This place is much much better recently now that the mods are doing some modding again. We've seen what it was like in here when they weren't modding as much and it wasn't good.
TBH, I think the P and P has improved loads over the last few months. The P and P had got so bad after the sale that I expect it was heading towards getting closed. You might not agree with every bit of moderation that goes on but if they all buggered off for a few days this place would soon turn into a load of old cack.
The mods all have jobs/lives/families outside this place and are doing a hard enough job (for free) as it is. I think it's pretty good of kinky etc to come on here and bother to comment really. I've been one of the harshest critics since the sale and I think the mods are doing an excellent job. If this place is going downhill, it's not because of the mods.

As Emma said before, the thread lost its way somewhere after the first couple of pages and descended into the usual borderline-NSFW guff. 't Would be nice if folks would use a bit of restraint - bus as often they don't, having mods act on behalf of the majority of us who'd like to continue to use the site form whereever they are, is the next best option.

I think the big problem, as mentioned by a couple of posters already, is that many threads descend quickly into "Who can post the first breasts" or similar: Which can get many fired at work if these sorts of images appear on the radar of IT.
Now I work in a company who doesn't monitor this sort of thing, but then I am responsible for the IT.
Again, many are not, and many would like to continue to use P+P as it's usually full of interesting stuff to read and comment on.
With the same old faces starting off these sorts of threads, and thus encouraging other posters, it ends up with us having to take the rare, unfortunate and unwanted action of us having to remove the threads either on grounds of taste, or because of a valid complaint.
Additionally there have been a spate of personal jibes and attacks which cannot be tolerated - we're here to enjoy the place, not get picked on.
Finally, we don't get paid. Nope. Think what you will of the way we mod, but its not a particularly fun or great for "How to win friends and influence people" conversations, however we do it because we genuinely want to make Pistonheads somewhere worth hanging about.
As quite clearly demostrated by a lot of members who have been here for > 1 year
