So are your topics really gone, then? If they are, that is scary!! Holy cow! Why would admin delete them? What the heck!

Sandra,

The same topics to several forums I posted today about the Arkansas SB-79 crackdown on Photography/Photographers are not found on my list of topics I started. They wiped them off the record, so to speak.

That is a little frustrating since it was not a malicious topic, attempt at anything bad or horrible, but Basically an ALERT to fellow Photographers on this UHH Web Site. Hmmmmmmmmm?

So Be It!

Best Regards,
Tom

Usually you will get a pm from Admin when they move something telling you why your topic was moved. I've never had a topic deleted so I am not sure, but would expect that you would get a pm telling you why your topic was deleted.

I wonder if it was just a mistake or misunderstanding.

I just went to refresh myself on UHH Forum rules ..

- Please do not post links promoting any "signup" pages, newsletters, lists, message boards, sweepstakes, giveaways, contests, voting pages, etc. That includes any sites that are meant to collect "signups" for any purpose

Tom, didn't you ask people to call the senator in Arkansas in your original post? If so, that might be why he deleted it. Still .. it would be nice if he informed you of a rule breakage. He could have just deleted that part of your post.

This was originally posted by trc in the Critique section. I asked Admin to move it, but he must have deleted it instead.

TRC ... could you repost the comment you had made earlier?

Street photography illegal? Yeah, whatever... This will just wind-up in the most ridiculous laws pile if it passes. Just because it's a law, doesn't mean it will be enforceable. If you want some good entertainment, do a Google search on the most ridiculous laws in America that have actually passed.

I wonder if there is a list of all the stupid laws that have passes and are currently making people miserable.

Sandra,

No, I sure didn't. Here is the original post I replied with to your request to please post my original - if you can follow that poorly written statement! Your Post with the request (copied and pasted here) is actually on page #1 of this thread.

I haven't heard a word from Admin., so perhaps they don't know what to say about deleting my post(s). I honestly don't think I am the first and only member to post the same thread in different (multiple) forums. In fact, I'm 99.999999% sure I am not. I honestly believe I have seen people of authority (or perhaps just other Hogs) tell an original poster to put their thread in another Forum. I don't think anyone ever had any repercussions about that.

Beats the heck out of me. Authority 'rules' again, I guess. :-)

Best Regards,
Tom

Rongnongno,

Perhaps it is Spam to a Robot, but it shouldn't necessarily be to bright, scholarly, totally capable of intelligent reasoning Administrators like we have here on UHH - do you think? I have seen picture threads reposted in different forums and they were never deleted - Hmmmm, sure makes me wonder.

Like I had said earlier, I am not upset - just frustrated since I was just merely trying to Alert all the users/members/photographers of this Web Site about the ridiculous Senate Bill someone is trying to pass in the Arkansas Legislature by tomorrow, which, if passed, could catch fire and rapidly spread starting a totally nonsensical rampage across the 52 States in our beloved country. That's really all there was to it. Pretty simple, I would say. :-)

Best Regards,
Tom

I suppose this must be for real but I could care less- I photograph what and where I wish -- anyone, including Ar who doesn't like it can go suck a lemon. As an old guy I am more that tired of this crap-- next it will be you need a license to operate a camera -- you don't want to even think about touching my camera, believe me. :thumbdown:

I don't know about ALL the stupid laws, but there are plenty of lists out there. Funny thing though... they haven't made me miserable yet. Perhaps because stupid laws are for stupid people. :-)
