And so, another thread completely removed from this forum this time. Offended most likely because someone was questioned, as well as some questionable links on this site that were NOT shut down, such as obtaining false passports and the "locked" thread ratio to 3 foreign forums.
Let me address these falsehoods:
The threads with questionable links were closed and deleted. Unfortunately, during some troubleshooting of a Moderation Queue issue, these threads became visible again. Since the threads in question were old and would take considerable time to track them all down, it was decided to leave them as is. The example thread posted was from 2016. Only someone with too much time on their hands would go on a mission to search them out.
The threads in the foreign forums are locked since they haven't seen any activity in over 6 months. It's normal policy to lock threads that haven't seen any activity in over 6 months in *any* forum. If there are no posts in the forum for over 6 months, then of course, all the threads would be locked. Pretty simple to figure out but unfortunately, some members can't figure this out.
And I did ask greggk what thread was removed from forum so I could investigate and he's yet to respond. As far as I can tell from the logs, nothing was removed.
