    As the title says, there was an AMA thread with a Taboid Journalist earlier this week that no longer seems to be on the site. Can someone confirm if it was removed? And if so, why was it removed? There is no explaination given in the AMA forum.

    The thread is still here, however Niamh closed it as unfortunately the guest didn't have any time this week to answer more questions.

    EDIT: Actually I've just noticed that the thread status has been changed to moderated, which means it's not visible. I suspect that Niamh did that in error when she was closing the thread, but I'll ask her to take a look when she's back in the office on Monday.

    Hi Lauras Law,
    The thread was removed due to genuine privacy concerns of the OP and has not been reinstated. Sorry about that. You can read a list of the other AMAs done in the past here if you'd like to read any others.

    How can I? User's guide to some features on the new site

    That is ironic given the busiest thread on this forum.

    Not sure I see the irony, but since Alanis Morrisette moved the goalposts I'm not entirely sure what irony is.

    The AMA participant has clearly been rumbled as to their real name,or close to being rumbled, and since they are still in their job, they'd probably like to keep it. So, fair play to boards for closing it as the AMA subject requested. Doubt very much it'd encourage others to offer to do an AMA if boards hung them out to dry.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Well that explains why you don't see it.
