forum
i just wanted to know why one of my posts gets closed, when it was a serious question about TTD. and it was not a stupid question , or a waste of space either.....but on the other hand, there's posts dealing with knex and the screaming serpeant that have very little significance and should not be on the forum that don't get closed and even deleted..i just don't get it

i just wanted to fix something i just said, my previous post was about the TTD line, and it was DELETED, not closed. i was asking how long the line has been, and it was just deleted. i wanted to know why it was deleted. it was a serious question.

you know you could have just hit the edit button, instead of wasting space typing a new post, ohh and speaking of a waste of space... thats what this thread is a waste so it will soon be deleted just like your other thread... they get deleted because the are either errelevent or your questions are already answered in other threads

the fact that it was deleted once and then your asking it again is whats wrong, just ask Tardo what happens when you start multiple threads on the same subject
please, any mod that reads this, please delete this thread before i have to put this guy in his place, more than i already have

ok, one, this is going to be my last post to you, bc this sort of rambling on is what should get a post deleted, bc this has nothing to do with TTD, but actually, i never asked the same thing again, i just asked what was wrong with that for a post

YOU didnt ask it, someone else did. Read all of the other threads before making a new one and if it has not been asked before think to yourself "is this ? worth another thread". You could have just as easilly asked that question in the "TDD running smoothly" thread.

topthrill420, that's true, i could have asked it in another thread....i just didn't think it was that bad of a question that it should have been totally deleted...and when u said "YOU didnt ask it, someone else did," did u mean that someone else asked about the line, if so, what thread was it in

otto, i saw that too...but i made my thread about 20 seconds after the other one was posted, so i was writing my question when the other one was put up, so i didn't know it was already on the forum....but why were both of them deleted, should one of them still be up?

Ok guy's chill out don't be so hard on him, he just asking a simple question of why his post was deleted when it was something he wanted to know about Dragster, when there are posts that have nothing to do with Dragster still open. So just answer his question close the thread and lets get on with our lives.

Big E Biz, thank you, i wasn't trying to make a big deal out of this whole thing, and my question was already answered in an earlier post, then that would be a good reason to delete my thread, i just wanted to know if that was the reason, or what, and if anyone knows another thread that answered my question, pleaze let me know

If you want to know why your post gets closed, email Jeff directly and ask him because we don't know and can only guess what the mods are thinking. I'm pretty sure you will get a seriouos response from him. I guarentee you that most of the readers here don't give a rat's a$$ why it was closed. If you think by opening a new topic like this to try to publicly goad the mod's into a response or to garner some sympathy, you are sorely mistaken, and you probably haven't done any research on this board. Personally, I think your last comment in your first post in this topic is probably very true in more ways than one.
jdubya, thanx for the idea of the email. now i realize it was a waste to open this topic. i'm just gonna forget about the whole thing and just post about TTD. i didn't not want any sympathy, i was just mad that i didnt' get an answer to my question about the line, and i found my answer in another recent post....and as to my comment, i agree with u that it was true, but now in this post i'm doing exactly what i said was wrong, so...someone close this thread

Well, there is a whole lot of info on this board, it would take hours to sift through and read through the threads to find an answer, sometimes even with a search. Some people come here for a few moments a day or week, and dont have the time to spend all the time to research. There is nothing wrong with wanting a quick answer. As far as a waste of a thread, it would be easier to just answer the question and end it, have the thread closed soon after than to sit there and tear a person apart on an amusement park forum and waste even more time and space. There are so many trolls recently who have popped up who purposely try to cause trouble that are the problem here, not curious people with questions. I do agree if there is a problem with threads being closed, contact the moderator in private.
Some people on this forum are really rude and mean. It is just disgusting. If someone has a question, answer it a polite way or just dont respond. Rude comments and getting on someone for their stupid posts (in your eyes) just makes the situation worse. Am I the only one that is getting fed up with the rude responses to peoples questions? So what if it was posted before. So what if there is a typo. So what if there is one to many CAPS. Get off peoples backs! If it is that annoying to you people, go somewhere else. This isnt directed to any one indivdual, just everyone who is quick to point out a "bad" post.

First, I didn't see your post, so I don't know why it disappeared. I can tell you that moderators don't delete for fun and whoever did so probably had a good reason.
Second ... and this isn't necessarily directed to you. But, before any new user posts here, he/she is supposed to read the terms of service. Everyone has read the TOS and is familiar with it, right?
Like jdubya said, you would be better off e-mailing the webmaster when you have an issue like this.
MeanStreaker - we're all glad we have you around to put people in their place. Sorry I couldn't get to the thread soon enough before you did your damage.
