Why do some threads get deleted and some dont?

A few days back someone posted they "needed to part with their 60 crew cab". The thread is gone.

My point is George posted the same thing about "Earl" and that thread stayed. I realize the Earl thread now has updates and what not, so I understand why its still here. My point is is should have been deleted early on just as the 60 crew cab thread was.

I just have to say what is good for one is good for all! Or do we have different standards for different people here? I'm not mad I'm just asking a question LOL! see I put the LOL so now everything is OK!

Could it be that George wasn't 'selling' Earl and the crew cab was For sale and therefore belonged in the classified section?

When you coming back up this way? If you come up for the Columbus all ford meet, will you bring me enough of the seat material to do the two bucket seats for my panel truck?

Saw the 60 crewcab thread and it didn't seem to pass the smell test to me. May have been someone posting from Nigeria or eastern Russia.

I think the Earl thread had enough Personal content that it wasn't "just" an ad, but for all we know the CrewCab owner is in similar straits.

Also, with some of the previous "stiring," and a lot of new folks signing up just to sell stuff, the powers that be are showing a substantial presence on the board now, and are much less apt to give the benefit of the doubt when enforcing the rules.

You and 2many56s might have not seen that thread. I'm be happy to help and post the link for you to review if you missed it.

As I recall George was giving Earl away to a good home - couldn't have found a better one than with Bill Walford!

I questioned the administraters about the thread as I had a notification about it, thier reply was that it was still there but I couldn't find either, I didn't check to see if it was moved to the classified section but will now.

That's a good point because I can't find it either - it's gone - normally they just lock them down.

I'm sure most of these are from newer folks who are just looking to sell their trucks and haven't gotten the word on where to post it. I remember how difficult the site was to navigate when I first started posting (and it still presents some challanges).

Hopefully Morris helped him move it to the right place!
