Interesting, both my week ahead post and my code I put on the Financial Software board have disappeared.
Did I break any rules? I can't see it being to do with copyright, as all the information I put on here is in the public domain (indeed it is published with the primary aim of being disseminated).
Can someone please explain?
I saw the interesting thread on the 'Week Ahead' code as well, and noticed that it had disappeared.
I've mentioned in a much earlier thread when the site first opened, regarding moderation practices and how TMF were really good at letting people know when and why a thread may have been removed, and I did specifically ask if this practice were going to continue over here because it was a valuable process that stopped people having to surmise things if they aren't specifically told anything.
That said, given that Kiloran has said that he'd sent you a PM about this, and having sent you a PM myself about it when I first noticed it had been removed (sent Sat morning at 5am), I wonder if you actually might have been sent a PM from the mods with some information in it?
I only mention this because the PM I sent you early on Sat morning is still currently sat in my 'Out-Box', which on this type of bulletin board means that you've not read it yet.
Is there a chance you've not read Kiloran's PM or my PM, and perhaps not noticed there may be an even earlier PM about it from the mods?
You can check for PM's by looking to the left of your user-name at the top-right of any of the Lemon Fool site pages. Usually it would say 'Private Messages [0]' if there's nothing waiting for your attention. Does yours say something else?
Whatever the outcome of the thread-removal issue, I hope you're not discouraged too much from getting involved with this great news-feed. It's clear that the loss of Luni hand-delivering the 'Week Ahead' news to people will be missed if it were to disappear completely, so it would be good if a few of us could find a couple of methods of trying to fill the gap in a way that hopefully satisfies any concerns that the mods may have in doing so.
Kiloran and I are in the process of doing something with the HYPTUSS tools that will help with this, but clearly not everyone uses, wants to use, or is even able to use these tools, and finding a way to regularly deliver the news to the Lemon Fool site itself by way of a posted message, where people will be able to find the news themselves, will help immensely with the loss of Luni carrying out that good work himself.
