Large SEO Thread Deleted?

Am I missing something or did a recent large (15 page or so) SEO thread in this section get completely deleted?

The thread was entitled "Is This All There Is To SEO" and the reason I'm asking is to just check if there isn't something wrong with the UKBF forum system, and perhaps other threads have gone missing too.

Filtering through the thread I thought there were some informative posts in that thread and it would be a pity to lose it.

Looks like it was pulled due to the 'usual suspect' starting an argument?

It's a shame that thread was deleted. Those types of threads are very beneficial to many people. Lots of good information gets shared.

I thought when threads are removed, everyone who contributed is supposed to get a PM explaining why :(

Just looking back, I think it was me that deleted it.

It became a slag fest flame war between a couple of members and as quickly as we could clean it up it started all over again. Infractions were issued and we tried to clean the thread up, but then got complaints that it hadn't been cleaned up fairly and was biased towards the other person.

So it was pulled. UI will say that anyone who has downloaded that thread might well have downloaded an incomplete version due to the moderating, and i would seriously advise anyone not to post that content on the forum, as it is got seriously heated in there and I wouldn't be surprised to see it completely blow up in the face of whoever posts it. :(

The joys of being a moderator eh :p

I think I *may* have been referenced earlier as a "usual suspect"... I for one will steer clear of threads like that in future...

So why were the offenders not banned if they continued to missbehave after a warning.?:|

we have rules you know.?

Himmler would have done it better.:p

Unfortunately that is not possible for us Mods to do due to the amount of time and effort it will take. We delete many threads for many reasons. If the original poster queries the post deletion by PMing one of us Mods we would always give an answer with the reason why. The majority don't even notice. :)

eventdomain

Its like crossdaz said in any EVENT this DOMAINS seo thread always has some guy trying to steer people toward advertising on his platform and its quite obvious.

What the one that gets trillions of unique visitors and makes more money than Google that nobody knows the name of?

It wasn't you. The usual suspect I referred to likes to make an event of most seo threads - especially where domains are discussed?

Hope that clears the misunderstanding?


I think a moderator needs to delete some posts, as this is defamation of character and a personal attack.

Well the same has happened before (but unfounded accusations) as we know.

If you're not in the 'in-crowd' your right to defend yourself is deleted but utter rubbish is allowed to remain.

If I got out of the wrong side of bed it'd mean I would have to touch my wife. I try and avoid this for fear for my own safety :) :) ;)
