That's because people keep trying to delete their first post, believing that it will delete the thread - it's a UBB thing. I'll go and tidy it up, No idea why the fellow wanted it deleted in the first place - it was "ironic good things about 2004"

Just so I'm clear, the thread was modified to delete the first post (leaving the thread looking ordinary, except for having -1 replies), then it was modified again to remove the title? And now I see the abstract's gone.
Isn't there something that stops topics without subjects from being created? (I might be completely wrong about that) Also, how was the summary moderated? How does one request a mod action without going into the thread? Or perhaps the question is: how does one get into a thread without the title link?
Finally, I can't help but wonder, who's agreeing these?

First I saw was a delete request from Haus about half an hour ago. Oh, and lock one from Sally just now. Not sure when all the other malarkey happened, or indeed how it's possible.

Just had yr request for a title (agreed)- I'm figuring that the lock and delete requests will take much longer to go through as they require more mods to agree to them.

Or perhaps the question is: how does one get into a thread without the title link?

By running through the numbers of the recently posted threads until I hit that one, in my case. Time-consuming but it was irritating. Essentially, the person who began it, I think, had for some reason decided to ask that the first post, the title and the topic abstract be deleted indiviudally. I would suggest that moderators _disagree_ with these requests, look at the thread to see if it has developed to the point where deleting it would interfere with other people's use of Barbelith, and if not leave a note in the thread to the effect that it has been moved for deletion at the starter's request, and move to have it deleted.

How odd.
(Scroll down).

Anyone know why this is happening? Seems to be only this thread...

It's because of the arrows in the opening post. The two surrounding the date. Just needs a moderator to edit them out.

It's happened a couple of times.

Is the ignore function screwed? The text on the confirmation screen asks "Want to ignore this person's posts for a week?" but I just realised that Morpheus has been on my list since July.

I think it just keeps a list of everyone you've ever ignored, whether or not the week has expired - or can you still not see the posts of people on the list?

Not sure. Morpheus is the only person on there and I can't think of a thread that he posted to off the top of my head.

I think that's right - the ignore stops, but the "you are ignoring" doesn't, unless and until you specifically choose to stop ignoring them. Bug or feature? YOU DECIDE!

Let's pretend it's a feature.
