My first deleted thread

[steveindenmark]

I have been on here for quite a while now and have posted lots of threads.

I have just had my a thread deleted, my first ever, on any forum, of any kind.

The thread was about advertising for Raleigh Bikes from back in the 50/60s. The advertising were sketches of scantily dressed Ladies. I have no idea how they related to Raleigh Bikes, but that was the amusing part. They were cheeky at best, certainly not offensive.

They were deleted as they were "Not suitable for Cycle Chat Forum".

They were so unsuitable that they were already getting "likes".

I understand and respect the need to moderate sites like this but this was just someone with the power at there elbow being puritanical.

If Admin deems images of scantily clad ladies not suitable for the forum... then so be it. There's plenty of other sites full of scantily clad ladies.

Looked like you could see something you shouldn't on second pic , possibly just a shadow .

Sort of a 6 oclock shadow was it?

I saw your post and thought at first someone had photoshopped the ladies onto old posters. But a quick google found the original images. I cannot imagine how Raliegh got those poster allowed.

No honestly I thought it was a bit risky looking

I think they were Turkish, or maybe Greek.

I think they were Turkish.

Definitely not Brazilian

You think that's Turkish? Good job you arem't in international relations.

And it's a good thing you are not compiling a dictionary.

Instead of making oh-so-superior remarks, why not just enlighten us?

It's all Greek to me.

 

[steveindenmark]

I am not and am not concerned what language it is.
