Yes, but only in one language.
Sorry for all the editing; I had to correct the spelling of "one"

Wow! I get back from one of the longest duties I can do to find this little monster waiting for me. Pity, cos if I wasn't so knackered I'd probably write a good explanation but since I am being compared to Bob Mugabe and and I'm not in a good mood I'll keep it short, to the point and then move this elsewhere... and don't even think about winding me up with another thread like this in THIS forum.
This is not a rumour or news and it is begining to irritate me a little bit. All of a sudden I have a few angry types who feel they can bully their questions onto this forum without having much understanding what it takes to run this website. Well, consider this... I have just done a MAN - LXR - MAN flight. That is scheduled duty period of 13 hours and 40 minutes. 10 minutes short of the maximum allowable flight duty period before you even begin to take into account delays because of slots or winds that are way out of the bracket fro what was forecast. Just me and my Captain with an outbound sector of 5 hours and 16 minutes, a one hour turnaround and then 5 hours 45 minutes back . We are allowed to be rostered this kind of duty because the CAA allow a dispensation called a level 2 variation which is supposed to make it all a bit safer. A 13 + hour duty is still a 13+ hour duty whether you have days off before and after it. Anyway... I digress. Just take it from me, I am knackered and on my way home I get a message that another thread abotu the padlocks has blown up on R & N... starting to get the picture about my mood now?
If you are not happy about the threads being padlocked either email [email protected] or post your gripe in the Questions or Aircrew Notices forum, NOT HERE!. It takes time to read a thread and then move to another forum or even just padlock it. Sometimes an explanation is offered, sometimes it is so blatantly obvious that it doesn't belong that none is provided and just occasionally, I am in the sort of frame of mind that I happen to be in right now and to perfectly honest, I couldn't give a monkeys...
Take your pick. If you want to criticise be my guest... just pick a more appropriate forum than this one. My friends who help me moderate have given you all the reasons above. I can't be bothered to give you any more except to state that it has taken one hell of a lot of my spare time and money to build this website into what it is today and if you are going to insist that you have a right to post whatever you want in this forum regardless of my wishes... then yes, this is one hell of a dictatorship and until you own shares in it your voice can be muzzled as far as I am concerned. Just try me!
As for all the suggestions about automatic links and special methods of alerting people to where threads have been moved, forget it. At least for the time being. The software has its limitations and there is only so much tweaking that can be done. I don't have the skills ans PPRuNe Dispatcher doesn't have the time. We have to make do with what we have here. Find me some other software that will handle a bulletin board of this size at the right price and I will consider it.
So, tough cookies to all those angry types who are going to be really cheesed off when they find the padlock on this thread. If you can figure it out, you'll see on every page a note mentioning which forum it has been moved to. I can't be bothered stating it here.
