A word, Ming?

My "OT Protest Thread" is no longer there. That was the fastest you've ever deleted a thread. WHY DID YOU DO IT? That was a serious thread, meant to improve your perception of what we think of your actions. It was not meant as spam or flame. It was not a joke, and I would appreciate an explanation. This is rather ironic, as this was exactly the sort of action the thread in question was meant to address. It was put in the OT so that you could hear from those who never venture here. I would have put this there, too, but I had already used my one thread for the thread you deleted.

Yeah it was quick...
We've had plenty of threads in the OTF before where people listed all their complaints...
Now, the policy is to have those in the Apolyton Forum.
And since there is already another thread dealing with that same topic, there was no need for move it there.
You have made your thoughts perfectly clear in another thread.

That's the policy... You want to complain about something at Apolyton... You do it in these forums.

That's the problem. There are many who never go to the Apolyton forum. Their voices are not heard. This was not just a thread for my one complaint. Also, I want my thread for this 8 hours back. Is there any way that could happen? (MarkG, please note: I would not have to make this request if you would change the limit to 3/24 hours. I would have no objection to that policy.)

Just another perspective.

It has been made clear on countless occasions and in countless threads on OTF that if anyone wants to discuss the type of thing you are referring to that they should do it here, on the Apolyton forum.

Therefore, if people do not visit here the only reason is that they choose not to. In other words, they do not consider any disagreement they have with the way the forums are run important enough to make the effort to hit the "Back" button and click on "Apolyton Forum". If people are not willing to do that then their opinions must not be too strongly held, or at least, that's how it seems to me.
