Which parts? Can't even tell.
With so little posting activity as it is, is deleting chunks of it really the way to go about things?

Half was probably an exaggeration
Couple of pages I think, everything posted today after 9:25 this morning has gone. I didn't read back that far when I posted but I'd presume somebody said something they shouldn't have?
Hopefully we get an explanation.
In the meantime, can we please delete Derek's Putin puns from the Jokes thread as well? And permanently ban him from posting in there? Cheers

Actually stuff from overnight has been deleted as well by the looks of it?

No posts have been deleted from this thread, but around a page worth of pointless off topic sniping was deleted from another that looked like it probably spilled over from here, the case in point being even those posting in it didn't realise which thread they were actually posting to
With Cheltenham coming up next week all moderators are busy trying to prepare for that so don't have the time to trawl back through multiple pages spread across different threads trying to look for what started the latest spat.
The quicker option is just to delete all the posts from a clear start point and that ensures its only the off topic stuff that gets removed
There is an option in the upper right corner which anyone can use to report a post they think breaches forum rules, we'd suggest people use this from now one that way we can who/were these flash points are originating from and take any required action rather than engaging in tit for tat arguments then dragging them across multiple unrelated threads
Alternatively if you don't want to engage with someone you can add them to your foe's list in your CP and you won't see anything he/she posts in future
Also I noticed a few references in recent posts to James visiting Peters house, I don't know where or why this has arisen and its importance but just to clarify for everyone James attended one of the 'Meet and Greet' sessions Peter hosted at his house and BA offices a few years ago, these were open to anyone to book a place on any many of the users of this forum were among those that attended one of the sessions.
Hopefully we can all get back to concentrating on trading and bring the discussion back to a civilised level and debate topics respectfully or not at all

I hope JamesG46 got a warning about his behaviour at the very least? Proclaiming proudly "I stand with Russia" and telling those on the forum who have shown even a modicum of support for Ukraine what to do with themselves by saying "Fuck those who stand with the Nazi's" is out of order.
Sorry Dallas but I don't see how sweeping things under the rug solves anything for anyone, not just here but in general.
It won't take long before James declares his support for Putin again and triggers Derek, Crazyskier, JasBarrow and whoever else was part of the deleted discussion. Not saying banning people is the solution but deleting forum content surely sends a dangerous precedent. Can't keep deleting stuff if it keeps happening, would be disrespectful to the people who took time out of their day to post.

He appears to be banned, as we saw with StellaBot it stopped the madnessKai wrote: ↑Sun Mar 13, 2022 6:15 pmSorry Dallas but I don't see how sweeping things under the rug solves anything for anyone, not just here but in general.
