Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Deleted replies
Does anyone else feel a little aggrieved when a swathe of posts are deleted on a topic they may have been interested in following? Especially after having been sent multiple email notifications?
I do know that different site owners do things differently, but HoL is starting to lean towards the more delete-button-happy end of the spectrum at the moment and I was wondering why this is. I should add that I don't know whether its admins or members doing most of the deleting (there is not 'user deleted' or 'admin deleted' notification as on some boards) - but it seems to be happening a lot!
I wouldn't want things to go too far the other way - I'm a member of another com where members aren't allowed to delete their own comments and are threatened with bans and slaps on the wrist if they do (VERY controlling!) but equally I find it frustrating when I click on to six comments via my email and find that all of them have gone.
Is there room for perhaps offering an explanation as to why things have been deleted or summarising the removed thread so we're not left making assumptions as to the reason?

What other examples bother you? The only other recent one was where people were libelously being called corrupt?

I haven't been keeping track in detail I'm afraid, but it really feels like it's happening a lot. Thinking about it, it was possibly election-related threads I'm remembering which I realise could be way more sensitive.

That thread is now closed.
But I'd like to have read Phil K's view on how the Council spends our money. Especially since I'm hearing that the latest projected cuts figure is a further £70 million.

Is that a £70 million smile, Abster? Or is it a veil?

I can understand that. You may also understand my wry smile because it seems the people who write to me suggesting I take posts down are often the same as those who write that things shouldn't be deleted.

Was it David Graeber? I heard Krister Henriksson say it on Wallander. (At least that's what the subtitles said.)
I've not met either Mr Morton or Cllr Arthur. Of course, I've heard about the former and sympathise with him on the dead albatross he's now got to carry around.
But Cllr Jason Arthur's career details on Linked-in don't mention PR. (The Teach First YouTube video is surely 'educational'.) Linked-in says Jason has been a councillor for two months, so obviously someone at that website urgently needs his help with adding-up.

It looks like Joe gets to keep the glossy PR-type jobs while Jason becomes Koberg's human shield for the cuts. And he's got the libraries as well.
But please let's not forget where the imposition of these cuts is coming from.
"Let slip the lapdogs of war". A clever pun. And even better, seems original. I'm jealous. Whenever I come up with something a quarter as good as that Google tells me that 2,366 other people have already used it this year. But are you sure it wasn't Wallander - the Kenneth Branagh version - as shown on Swedish TV with subtitles?

Don't panic, Pam. Oxford PPE is not infectious. There are many sufferers who live long, happy and productive lives in the community - provided they receive family and professional support and the right diet and medication.
