Deleted thread

[simonhch]

i made a thread congratulating our rivals in the football forum, and it was deleted. It wasn’t a WUM thread, it was a genuine magnanimous opinion, and representative of a more evolved mindset on rivalry.

Why was it deleted? Seems ridiculously small time and pathetic to not even be able to express a normal opinion on a forum. Is this RAWK now?

 

[Snowjoe]

More evolved mindset

feck off

 

[Rory 7]

Deeee Liht! / delete

 

[simonhch]

Well, I’m not at home frothing at the mouth like half the fans.

It’s just a really juvenile move to delete a thread because you don’t like the content. But I guess that’s how low we are sinking now.

 

[Rado_N]

feck off.

 

[simonhch]

You lot are having a proper meltdown.

 

[Samid]

Why don't you feck off to rawk?

Go make an account on RAWK and congratulate them

This isn’t the place

 

[simonhch]

Why don't you feck off to rawk?

Apparently I’m already on RAWK. Censorship: check, Bitterness: check. Small time mentality: check.

 

[2mufc0]

Are you feeling OK?

There's an easy solution, request a permanent ban.

It was pretty silly to congratulate Liverpool but it's even worse to delete the thread

 

[simonhch]

Are you feeling OK?

Mate, honestly I’m good. My brother is a Liverpool fan, and I’ve had to live through him celebrating in my face. Instead of being bitter, it actually felt healthy to say congratulations, and move on in a healthy way. There isn’t anything wrong with acknowledging someone else’s success.

Deleting threads isn't sinking low. It's a part of moderating the forum.

 

[Regulus Arcturus Black]

Congratulating Liverpool, wow, what an amazing mature human being you are. Now don’t let the door hit you too hard in the ass.

 

[amolbhatia50k]

PM them individually if you're so desperate to show them your non frothing mouth.

Even if people didn’t agree with the opinion, there was absolutely nothing wrong with what I said. It just wasn’t popular.

 

[cyberman]

Such an enlightened fan. The sportmanslike behavuour will be an inspiration for the club moving forward.

 

[Raw]

Why bother though? Do you want to look classy or something? Just congratulate actual Liverpool fans if you want to do it so badly!

This. Why the feck do you want to make a thread congratulating Liverpool fans on a place where its going to be seen by mostly United fans, especially right after the final when most Liverpool fans will be out there getting pissed. What's the point? Who's it aimed at?

 

[Snowjoe]

What rule did the thread OP broke then ?

Not everything we do is about the rules, sometimes it’s just to prevent something becoming the inevitable shitshow it always does

 

[RedTiger]

Come on guys, there's nothing wrong with a bit of magnanimity.

1. Your thread Congratulations Liverpool was deleted. Reason: feck off
   Today at 22:12

I got there first you twat!

I’m pretty sure @golden_blunder deleted that shit.

It’s obvious I didn’t break any rules. It was just an extremely unpopular thing to say. Which I get.

People tend to forget that Fergie would be the first to call his fiercest rivals to offer congratulations. Because winners don’t get bitter in the face of defeat. They get even, and then ahead. Bitterness is a sign of weakness and insecurity.

I was really upset when Liverpool won. Especially having a Liverpool supporting brother. But Christ, if we can’t hold our hands up and say well done, and then go off and do better ourselves; we aren’t ever getting back to the top. IMO.

 

[Fridge chutney]

Thank you mods!

 

[Paxi]

In any case @simonhch just stick to MMA my friend. Some good fights coming up.. we can cradle ourself there. It’s our safe space.

What the feck does that have to do with our team improving

@Snowle Gunnar Solskjær just rack me out a fecking line would ya?

You don't have to break any rules to have a thread deleted. We delete and edit threads and posts all the time when we see undesirable content. In this case, a congratulations to Liverpool FC for winning the Champions League thread on a Man United board met the undesirable content standard.

 

[ivaldo]

I made a thread on a Man Utd forum masturbating over Liverpool and I am confused why you deleted it?

Well at least I still have one friend left

"Undesirable content "

Interesting choice of words.

 

[Paxi]

Yeah but I’d probably argue with you in the MMA thread...

 

[Raoul]

None.

I didn’t masturbate over Liverpool, I acknowledged their success, and said let’s let this spur us on, rather than drive us to bitterness. Oooh, controversial.

 

[Ayush_reddevil]

Don't think there was any need for this to be deleted . Having said that all the congratulations could go to the match thread anyway and a separate thread wasn't required anyway

 

[Raoul]

"Undesirable content "

Interesting choice of words.

Why is it interesting to you ? Do you think posting a congrats to LFC thread here is desirable ?
