I closed some of the threads yesterday because of the reasons mentioned by some of the other moderators. I have editorial contro of this website and I have to decide what stays and what gets moved elsewhere or deleted. I very rarely delete a thread and even then we retain a copy in our admin forum.
GO-around threads are invariable boring and a waste of time unless there was something exceptional about it. Too many spotters want to know and this is not a spotters website.
I have been running PPRuNe for over six years and grown it from a single forum to what it is now and without that kind of editorial control it would just be like so many other forums where everything just degenerates and nothing makes any sense. I will continue to take editorial control and some of you will not like all the decisions that I make but someone has to make them if you want to continue using PPRuNe as it is.
If anyone is not happy with an editorial control there is a 'contact us' link at the bottom of every page and you can use that to contact us. We do reply to EVERY query eventually. WHat I will not let happen is have this forum used as a sounding board for anyone who can't be bothered to make their complaint directly to me. It is a Rumours & News forum and this thread like many others is going to be moved. In this case to the Aircrew Notices forum.
After a long day on the flight deck I do not need to come back to this kind of thread.
