Missing post

[tufftom4]

I posted a new thread a little while ago and some people responded now I can't find it is there sub categories that I am missing?

Well you can click on your stats and go to all threads you started. That should narrow down your search.

Wouldn't have been a political thread, would it? (Just guessing. Those are prone to disappear. You know, rules and all that.)

[Yammer Dan]

Rules??

Hey Tom,

This is the last thread you started. (Except for the one we are posting in now)

Rules??

 

Just a nasty rumor I've heard.

[tufftom4]

Oh now I see I thought the peeps here were cool but if you post something someone doesn't like it gets taken off so now I am going to ask for my dues back I do not want to be here anymore.

Then maybe you should read the rules before you sign up. That's why you agree to the terms and conditions.

 

Political threads don't belong here, as they start arguments. Calling people IDIOTS doesn't go over very well either. Although some of us might agree with you, this forum is no place for it. These should be discussed only by PM.

TuffTom your post is still there and not deleated as you think. It's just buried a bit since it's been over a week when it was posted and the last response was later the same day, June 17th.

So no need to leave just yet over this.

Just my homble opinion, Larry

Hey Tom,

I am one of those people that ABSOLUTELY will not have anyone tell what I am going to be doing or not doing on this planet, Period! But on more than one occasion, I have been so excited about what has been posted on this site, I have allowed my children and my wife to access this site as have MANY of the members here. So it is for that reason that we have all loosely agreed that we would be respectful to each other's family members and not post things that are pornographic, insult our fellow members political views, or tread heavily on each others religious beliefs. Pretty much anything else goes, Because I have not met you yet or had a chance to chat with you about these great motorcycles we both own, I feel that it would be MY LOSS if you left so soon. Perhaps you would accept my invitation and stick around a bit longer, making it a win, win for both of us.

Let's clear the air on something right now - absolutely nothing has ever been deleted on this site just because someone didn't "like" it. The very few rules we have are totally aimed at keeping this site family rated and avoiding arguments. There are two main subjects that are generally forbidden due to the amount of anger and arguments they generate between members and make the general tone of this forum quite unpleasant: religion and politics. There are lots of places on the web where you are free to engage in discussions of this type, but this isn't one of them. Again, I have to stress that this has nothing to do with the content or opinions expressed in a post, ONLY if that post is of a nature to foment arguments.

 

We do have some heated discussions on motorcycle related issues, but because they are directly related to the main purpose of this site, we try to let them continue and just encourage people to avoid personal attacks. But we have said many times that political and religious discussions will not be tolerated at all.

 

If one of the moderators removed your post, you probably received a PM with an explanation - please look for it. Contact me personally if you did not receive one and I will query the other moderators and try to find out what happened. I do know there was a political thread started earlier today about healthcare - I saw it briefly and decided to let it ride a bit longer before deleting it - that was my mistake, as I'm sure it escalated. I was busy and did not have the time to send a personal message on the subject, so I just hoped it would stay nice. REALLY bad on my part; I'm sorry. I do not see it now, so maybe that was your thread? I do not know.

I deleted it as soon as I saw it. As stated already, the rules clearly state that no political threads are allowed. I'm sorry if you missed that point and will be more than happy to refund your dues if you can't live with it.

What are the rules thingies???

What are the rules thingies???

Basically we refrain from hot topic issues like politics and religion. Porn is out too since were a PG site. Nothing divides a group faster then those issues.

[V7Goose]

What are the rules thingies???

My apologies - us old timers remember many clear discussions on these points, but I went looking today and realized we really do not have them posted in an easily findable place. I'll get this changed.

Does Tom have the raw *$$? There is edicate on all web sites and we like that here. If Freebird will refund your whopping $12.00 dues, then I think you have been served well.
