Read the rules again, I find them pretty clear in their verbiage.
Do keep in mind that some threads are derailed beyond what the moderators feel is an appropriate amount of cleaning if it has degraded into more chat or flaming than is worth saving, it will be subsequently deleted.
I've reread the rules, I suppose some might see it as a list thread as I was asking for advice on what brand of clippers, but before I went out the thread was starting to turning into more of a discussion.
Makes me wonder why the simple threads are so easily deleted yet the 7 page racism and islam threads are left to turn to chaos.
