It appears that I am not a member

[Alan de Enfield]

Trying to view the Nigel Moore thread and being told I am not allowed to view as I am not a member with more than 10 posts - weird !

 

 

"Members are required to have a post count of 10 or more to post in the 'virtual pub' off topic area".

it was probably because the OP contained a link to the "other" forum and it is verboten.

Likewise

I've just checked, and you are indeed listed as a member , with a post count far higher than ten.

[nicknorman]

Some pathetically stupid moderator decided to delete the post because it contained a link to the source of the information which was on thunderboat. Twice. This despite repeated claims that there is no problem mentioning TB - and why should there be, unless this site is incredibly insecure? They lie.

That this happened on a post reporting the death of a very well respected “knight of the waterways” is particularly disgusting. This sort of behaviour from an out of control moderator who has become a self appointed thought police fascist is why I will never again financially contribute to this site.

 

I expect I will “not be a member” quite soon, for real. But I don’t have a problem with that.

Well said Nick  ... it is telling that Nigel was a member and contributor to BOTH forums ... he was without doubt a gentleman and worthy role model for us all.

Regardless of why the thread was deleted, there is a "bug" if the now deleted thread still shows up in searches...

and a second "bug" where it is assumed that following a link to a non-existent page is because "you are not allowed to see it" (and then an erroneous reason why you are not allowed)

Technically it is not deleted, but is hidden from view. This is why the error occurs when you try to view it though it could perhaps be re-worded to make it clearer.

Did anyone think to message the OP regarding this?

By default Alan de Enfield will be notified when he receives replies to this topic. 

 

If you're referring to the topic which was hidden, I have no idea. - I am not a moderator and have no visibility over what they do though from what I recall users will usually be informed if their topic is removed/hidden by a Moderator for any reason.

It's been explained as a legacy from the past, overlooked because the situation hasn't occurred before, I see no reason to disbelieve and certainly see no reason to call any one pathetically stupid.

 

It has been explained that it's a software issue, nothing any of the current mods implemented or have any control over.

 

I generally see you as a very rational and intelligent bloke who enjoys a wind up, right now you're looking like a pratt, in my opinion anyway

Good point, maybe Nick isn't a morning person

[nicknorman]

My post stands. Apparently the mod in question is a robot, but it is still pathetically stupid. The reason why my post was fairly strong was because the attempt to report the death of a top bloke and boaters’ champion, was sullied by this stupid bot. If it had been about general chit chat I wouldn’t have bothered.

@RichM glad to hear from you again, take care [of yourself]
