Yup, me too! So, does that mean that that topic is now banned?The colloidal silver thread just disappeared while I was replying to it!
That's what, "Feedback and Suggestions" is for. I already posted a note to consider banning medical quackery.My problem is that some topics are banned even though many of the threads are trivial from a safety standpoint, yet there is no blanket ban on other topics where the percentage of dangerous stuff is noticeably higher.
I'm not talking about passing judgement on the worthiness of a thread based on arbitrary, subjective, and emotionally inflammatory labels. Indeed, many of the responses around here from senior and expert members fall into the "why would you do that (or do it that way)" category. And yet the threads are allowed to continue. Clearly inexperience/unawareness is not a qualification criterion.I already posted a note to consider banning medical quackery.
My point of view is that anything about making rules belongs to the owner or the moderators, and the Feedback and Suggestions forum is the right place to post such questions. I was merely directing you to the right place to get the attention of the moderators.I'm not talking about passing judgement on the worthiness of a thread based on arbitrary, subjective, and emotionally inflammatory labels.
I'm trying to parse the difference between ineffective and dangerous.
Which is why I stressed " *medical* " harm. Anyone, smart or stupid, with a metal watch band or wedding ring can do serious damage to himself and equipment, but that's completely unrelated. In my example I was talking about a copper bracelet causing a heart attack, or kidney failure, or making the hand fall off - something medically dangerous.not dangerous? on an electrical board? I am not allowed to wear any jewelry at all while working, much less a copper bracelet.
I'm still new enough around here that I have no feel for how rare (or not) is this event. However, I'm not confused at all.ps, MrChips told me in PM that the thread was deleted, as in, "did not just get lost due to a computer glitch".
We are accustomed to seeing a thread get locked. When it just disappears, that causes (me) confusion.
