Go back to the top of this thread and it looks like a moderator post has been deleted.
It was 7 yesterday; 4 joined in today, with 7 getting in on the end and locking a forum. And then they both went back to their shelves.Hold your horses, Shytalkz - surely the problem is Moderator 4, not 7.
There was nothing insulting. Although clearly the mods think that asking for their reasons as to their actions is an insult. Or sarcastic. Either results in the post being binned - and as ever, without explanation.As suggested before, I urge you not to be insulting towards him; given enough time, he'll be caught out.

...which implies that he was the one who removed sooey's innocuous post.youve been told the route to follow if you are not happy with how a thread is modded. This is to prevent threads being ruined and going off topic. As i said before similar posts that bring nothing to the thread or are sarcastic and insulting will be removed.
Um, but there was this:There was nothing insulting.
And then they both went back to their shelves.
Well, a this is a DIY forum, I intended to infer that perhaps they were doing some DIY in between bouts of modding...surely you don't think I meant....oh...now I'm embarrassed...
There is of course the "most meandering thread on the forum" thread in the general forum, maybe we should just post everything in there - at least that would remove one excuse for the high-handedness currently being displayed ....But to imply it was removed for being off topic in a thread about truckers that had deviated as far as it had is ridiculous. Besides, in a general discussion forum the fact that a discussion turns to something else is perfectly natural, and as one poster said is the reaon why he loves this forum...
