It generally happens when there is a show of hatred as seemed to be happening in your refugee thread. Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

2008 RRS TDV8
"When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die! You don't know who's children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they were always going to have to do from the very beginning: SIT DOWN AND TALK!"

New keyboard required. This one is full of snot and coffee.  I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

In the forum's terms of use:
Quote:You agree that the webmaster, administrator and moderators of this forum have the right to remove, edit, move or close any topic at any time should they see fit.
Threads generally only get locked and/or removed on here because the discussion is causing a problem for the moderator team (in terms of time spent monitoring or editing) or because the discussion does not fit with the general ethos of the forum - or it's offensive.
If you want to discuss these sorts of 'scandalous' topics, there are other platforms than on a Discovery forum. It's not fair on the rest of the forum if certain Off Topic threads/posts are causing a headache and spoiling the nature of the forum for the vast majority. 06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti
Any issues with the site let me know!

That rather depends on your definition of 'worked'.
