h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

...seems to have been referred for moderation. What's going on?

RF

Has it?

Did you see what the page looked like before I "updated" it yesterday?

I had 5 or 6 links mixed in with my normal links - they all went to start a conversatin on Foxys PS. They had titles like "Want to bug Foxy?", "It's a Foxy wind up"

Oops - I think I've still got one

But it was bringing in such a wide and varied circle of new people for Foxy to play with. And if that's wrong, well, who wants to be right?

But the original 'How Do I?' thread is still there, intact. Which is nice

A small reminder of my evil reign

Yes, I spotted it earlier today (I don't sign in at work, but I sometimes lurk) and thought I'd have a go tonight...but it's gawn awff!!!

You can still join in here: F2095978?thread=730758

>> But the original 'How Do I?' thread is still there,<<

Where's that then?

F19585?thread=728478

That brought on a distinct sense of deja vu.

And confusion

What is the relevance of Trin linking that thread?

Or should I just give up now?

I hate not keeping up

*sulks*

'cos my links page got moderated, so the only reminder of my "Wolfy wind up" is that "How do I?" thread.

I got an email about half an hour ago, saying that I wouldn't be able to post anymore

But then I tried and realised it just meant I couldn't post anything on my Links page anymore...

OK, now I get it, and I finally understand what that thread was all about




>>But then I tried and realised it just meant I couldn't post anything on my Links page anymore...<<

Really?

It's still open

If you speak nicely to them, won't they let you rewrite your links page?

What did they say was wrong with it?

They sent an email with the heading "Message board closed"

So, I panicked

Then they said:

Blah blah blah. The "you will no longer be able to post new messages"
bit panicked me a bit too

I think I should be able to sumbit the links page again, as long as I take out the funny links

God that's bizare. Maybe you got passed on to the message board mods. Where were our mods then?

Harmony has been restored on my page

Sounds like a bit of a Tony Curtis problem. I don't think you'd posted anything against Hootoo rules, but all BBC sites seem to come under the same moderation these days, and most mods from other sites don't seem to understand the special nature of h2g2.

RF

p.s. Does this mean I can go and wind up foxy again now? s off to check...

All gone.

Guess we'll have to go back to winding up Foxy the old-fashioned way ...

Ah well. I'll just have to wind him up in a way that he cannot possibly comprehend, viz: paging down as soon as I see his name, and not responding to a thing he posts. does he realise how much I'm annoying him by not responding to him?
