natural frequency thread disappeared?

natural frequency thread disappeared?

natural frequency thread disappeared?

(OP)
There was a thread requesting a definition of natural frequency which I posted in this morning. Now it's gone.

Anyone know why?  Mikey?

RE: natural frequency thread disappeared?

Electricpete,

Apparently some person (with the power to delete)did not find it as humorous as I did. I enjoyed the verbal jousting and saw no disrespectful statements.  So I ask the person who removed it, "why was it removed?"

RE: natural frequency thread disappeared?

I posted yesterday too. I didn't think these boards were moderated anyway. Either its a glitch in the bbs database or, as you say, someone didn't like something and emailed eng-tips asking for it to be removed.

RE: natural frequency thread disappeared?

MikeyP - They are self moderated. Any member can redflag a thread or a post. T'management then investigates and takes action, via an informal but long established process.

I've just thought of an innocent explanation - if the original poster was found to be violating forum rules in another thread all of his posts may have been removed.

Cheers

Greg Locock

RE: natural frequency thread disappeared?

Hey ElectricPete, it's not the first thread thats gone missing. I've posted to three other threads in the past months which then mysteriously disapeared, I was beginning to think I was a jynx. although other threads I've posted to haven't disappeared. One of the threads did reappear tho' about a week later. The Mysteries of the Eng-tips Board!

RE: natural frequency thread disappeared?

I'll bet it was Edshu the trickster-god, a mythological creature whose greatest joy is spreading strife!

RE: natural frequency thread disappeared?

(OP)
jheidt - I haven't heard of that Edshu.  Should I have?
finnigan - Mysterious indeed!
Greg - Something tells me you are right.
