That isnt up to you is it. Why dont you grow up and act your age?

Obviously if you were being impartial the michelle obama thread would have been deleted as well.

Pretending not to "get" my point (and in the appropriate area as well) isnt working for you with that michelle obama thread still there.

You tell the 'em! Wink

Rather than upset some members because one of the moderators doesn't like a thread title - couldn't you move the thread into one of the member run boards?

A few of them could do with some new threads. What about the Tavern, Extremism or Relationships?

This is a suggestion only and I'm not telling Andrei what to do. If he thinks the topic is immature - he can delete it, but it would keep members happier if it was moved.

I could be wrong. Maybe threads considered "idiotic" might have been deleted, but I haven't noticed any complaints about it before.

It couldn't have been worse than the Fat Magda Szubanski...thread. That's nasty. Was the thread in Politicians Suck? If it was - maybe it would be easier in the future to start a thread in Chat or General if you think it might be censored.

Most moderators are accused of bias. They put a lot of their own time into the job and occasionally have to make unpopular snap decisions. It would be hard to please everyone.

Maybe that's the reason the thread was considered idiotic and deleted? At the risk of upsetting the righties - I've always thought 2 of Abbott's daughters look very masculine - even horse faced. They might have inherited that off their father though.

He is biased against idiocy. That is quite an appropriate bias. Faking polls that accept anonymous posting is another example of idiocy.
