Default Thread disappears...
More ghostly goings on....

A thread asking for votes on a 'best shot wins' site, has disappeared...

Admittedly the comments, mine included, were not very nice....

Does this mean the mods are now removing these kind of posts from new 'members' to the forum?..

It's not new that mods remove those kind of threads where it's a one post call for votes on a popularity... I mean "photo" contest. We just don't always see every thread.

As a general comment, if people see threads they don't think are appropriate the best approach is to report the thread/post using the little red button and telling us why it isn't appropriate, rather than replying to the thread.

Ah ok, I was in a bitchy mood, being stuck on night shifts and having 7 hours sleep in the last 72.

I voted for several of the other photos though so it wasn't a complete waste.

I did quite like the one with the sunset at the beach, with the beach chairs. Just a pity the horizon wasn't straight
