Looks like it's been whooshed.

I haven't checked yet, to see if I have an email from GR, with a good reason why.

Ah well, it was fun while it lasted.

Thankyou everyone with a sense of ADULT humour who posted on it :-D

Someone may have e-mailed GR and requested removal rather than RRing and giving people a chance to chat about the fact that an R thread has got an RR..


You did well to have it last this long me darling..

No email from GR, explaining WHY the thread was removed :-(

The Opening Post had been reported several times, and reinstated, so GR knew the thread existed.

There was a CLEAR warning on the first two posts of the thread that it may contain stories that would be risque, and if anyone was offended NOT TO READ FURTHER.

If there was a posting that was offensive, the post could have been removed, and the rest of the thread left for those who wanted to read them.

It seems "someone" was offended by the whole thread, despite what the opening post stated.

I am not impressed ~ with whoever complained, and also not impressed with GR for removing the thread with NO warning.

:-(

I wasn't offended by the thread, but just because you have said "NOT TO READ FURTHER" That is not going to stop people looking....infact it would probably make them more curious.

I have seen threads that have been rr'd more or less straight away on the FLR board with no replies...but with dozens of views ....why??? there was nothing to see so why look?

It is sad that some people take offence at a little bit of smut, but there you go, not much you can do about it

Nothing much

email GR and ask WHY

there have been occasions when threads have disappeared, GR has said no reason for it, and they can get them reinstated ................ if Phil has time :-D

I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty.

I just sent a message to GR ~

Where has the "R" thread gone?

The Opening Post was reported several times, and reinstated.

There was a fair warning on the opening post that the thread was for ADULTS only, and the stories may be risque.

Because GR reinstated the OP, I thought there was no problem.

If there was a post that was considered unsuitable and reported and removed, that is acceptable.

The whole thread has been removed, with NO WARNING. That is (in my opinion) unacceptable.

I would appreciate an explanation.... and so would many others.

Thankyou.
