The rest of my thread's in pointless drivel

[Steam]

The present thread debating the legalisation (or otherwise) of "Crystal Meth" is a good example. I cannot on any grounds consider the subject to be drivel: nor the debate to be pointless.

Even considering the thread is a blatant troll by a well-known trollster?

It seems like an A++ candidate for a PD thread to me.

Yes. The reasons, apart from the colour scheme change, are generally self-evident. I can count on one hand's fingers (noting that coming from Eltham, I have an unfair advantage on that score) the number of times where a decision to PD has, on appeal, been reversed.

Generally attempts at rationalising a decision to PD end up in a stream of invective being aimed at Moderators for "censorship" or some other errant nonsense. It is therefore best that Moderators make no attempt at explanation whatsoever.

it's unreasonable to simply notify one person that their thread has been moved?!?!?

are you serious??

common courtesy doesnt count for anything?


edit: I never mentioned the word 'justify', it's pretty obvious that's a bridge too far...

It may have started as a troll, but it has developed into a well reasoned debate.

Completely serious. There are better ways of spending one's day than becoming embroiled in endless and ultimately pointless *discussion* with some tender soul as to why their contribution drivelled pointlessly. As this discussion is revealing. Trust me on this.

where was I suggesting you "become embroiled"

all Im suggesting is that the user is notified, this could be automated. I can do it for you if you like, just send me the host and ftp info

Send a PM to Mental Trousers. This is heady Admin territory.

No it's nobody secret, not al alter-ego, I just meant they just do it often.

[mstriumph]

It was me who PDed it. I clearly failed to see the obvious seriousness and scientific rigor it contained. Upon rereading it I still do. Ditto for this thread as well.

yet this thread is still here ...

I started a very serious thread concerning motorcycle dynamics.
The title was tongue in cheek and the first post was just to get interest but I spent alot of time making drawings and making sure I had my facts correct.

So other than using a motorcycle wheel reference at the start to infer the topic was in fact motorcycle related, what the hell is the point of the thread other than some mass-debating gratification in a public forum?

yet this thread is still here ...

S'cos it's not in a section of the site set aside for motorcycle discussion...

Now some moderator who probably doesn't understand whats its about has deemed it pointless drivel. Well whoever the moderator was make yourself known to me please and your reason for your action.

If you have a question/problem please pm Cajun or Mental Trousers...

Looks like I have my answer...

For a smart sounding guy...

Ah well, benefit of the doubt - maybe you caught Stupidness from some of us lesser beings or sum fink...
