MODS, PUT IT BACK RIGHT NOW!
By Mandilulur •
Yes, I'm yelling. Put Bull Meachum's post back right now! It's exactly the kind of post we need on QL, information on what it's like to come and live in Qatar. He asked about housing, beer, television and weather. What the heck is wrong with that? Did someone offend your delicate sensibilities? I'm writing to Ahmed and Qatari to protest. You have over-stepped your authority.
Mandi
Mod note: Thank you. Your prayers got answered when you were in your dreamland at midnight.
PP is back you guys can get him on his new topic.
UkEng and wat took you so long to do it ? :(
Sorry guys I didn't realise that deleting that thread would make such a big fuss.
Anyway I have deleted that thread and cannot put it back for some technical reason. Your opinion and concerns have been conveyed to the right authorities.
Time to lock this Thread now too!
whats wrong
you sound like a guy who is on hunger strike .
:P
MN, do u want a note below ur comment in Bold Letters saying "Dont act Smart".......:)
Funny how it’s not ok to discuss gambling and hooking up but it’s perfectly ok to promote hilipina dating ( ain’t that the same as hooking-up ?) websites and display adverts of semi-naked gals in their underwear.
:D Just sayin!
And where exactly is that 'civilized' society?
In a civilised society, one chooses and uses words with care ..
And therefore QatarLiving should be called QatarPretendingLiving.
Rizks, of course, we can refrain, but it means 'putting up a show'. Because in the real world we do not refrain from using them, unless you live in a monastery.
MN just joined the 1 million man march.
BURN! BURN! BURN! BURN! BURN! BURN! BURN!
cant we refrain using those words ?
OR is it a MUST words to use in ur day to day life ?
Rizks, it's not this specific word. As you know, they block other words which are all found in dictionaries that are given to pupils when they learn English at school. It's censorship of the lowest kind. They don't censor real issues. They censor peanuts to uphold an image of cleanliness or whatever. And that is hypocrisy at its best.
It is NOT allowed, period. Whether it is censorship or not, why bother to stay?.
And I remember one Santo before who made QL her diary. This PP is doing the same thing and worse, what he writes are all illegal things, (hooking-up, gambling etc etc.)
There is a big difference if these subjects are in the news and being discussed but soliciting advices for these illegal things here? My my my!
If you can't avoid it, do it discreetly and use the PM option, not on main board! Or go to the other channel.
tralala, DaRuDe.
bad boy bad boy bad boy
Umm...we have other chating sites like Yahoo,FB,Orkut etc. where u can lavishly use the word f.u.c.k but not QL ! :)
"Qatar Living is not responsible for any material submitted to the site."
While this is proudly printed at the bottom of each page, QL is still worried about people's opinions. ("Let's not get blocked by the TelCom..") Guys, this is censorship, nothing else. Freedom of Speech DOES NOT EXIST in this part of the world. What is QL afraid of? Why don't they allow the word f.u.c.k.? The rest of the free world is using it all the time. It's in literature, in movies, and it's the language people speak.
QL in this respect is a hypocrite! Sad, but true.
she is fine waiting for MMM before i go and hang the ex admin of mmm in canyons
"MODS, PUT IT BACK RIGHT NOW!"
Lol, you were really mad! I'm suprised they didn't put it back up immediately
Thanks again for tryin
Thats does sound nice Mandi
Ha ha - I don't know where you are but I'm going to bed early because me and my x sister in law are getting up early and driving to Sedona Ariz. for a few nights..One at some place called Enchanted something, and the two at a spa called Juniper or Junipine? I don't know, she set it up, then were gonna fly to Santa Barbra from PHX and go to Slovang (?) and visit some winery's for a few days I think, then up to see the redwoods, then back down to Vegas..My family lives there. I should be home on the 27th or 28th for my lessons-
Sure, PP, in fact, you probably want to fly me out to Denver and I'll give you and your company a whole seminar! I'm already in the US after all. And I think we have a mutual friend, Nomerci.
Mandi
I'm here now....just been reading this thread......not a clue what it's about as I didn't read the original deleted post.
On reading mode most of the time now......QL's so vanilla now
Mandi? I think you're my new hero.
Have you taken a liking to me on some level?
Thanks for standing up for me here- I told you my mere presence intimidates people. I think need some one on one etiquette lessons if you have the time?
Long time coming...
And I missed it...oh well...back to my e-mail/work.
the nationality was just incidental.
But even in my initial comment on that thread, I hinted that what is being discussed was already a violation of guidelines.
the deletion has more to do with content than nationality this time round
so it's an American thread.
Stealth, which was deleted BECAUSE it was an American's thread.
Expect amazing, Da! How's that lovely wife of yours?
Mandi
sent you a friend request on FB
simply amazing because i never saw Mandi that angry on QL before
And I commented on the picture of the car in front of her house.
Mandi
NM, on FB my first name starts with a "p" and in my picture I am wearing white and looking back over my right shoulder.
Mandi
much much earlier. And I am really surprised who's complaining? The same people I guess.
Asking where to hook-up girls (with real intent?). My my my, what a guy? Is this freedom of speech?
Now, the result of this rant (whether the thread will be back or not will prove the toughness or softness of this forum. And challenging the authority frontally will bring a good sign what's lies ahead. Are we IN or OUT?
Even the fox came back from hibernation. Well well what do we see the whole SMS brigade is active just to resurrect an American's thread.....
Yes, I'm Scarlett's friend on FB, also Novita's.
Mandi
Mandi, I just checked, I sent it to the email you posted earlier...are you on FB? Are you one of Scarlett's friends? If so, I am too....I will try to find you there.
I think it might have been that the MODS were worried because of the banter that had started... :o)
I disagree. How many Asians have I had to tell, "No you can't buy a visa, you can't get a tattoo, you can't live with your boyfriend. I've never been deleted before!
NM I didn't get your email.
holy molly
can't keep up :(
I can predict tat it wll go 2 page 4 very soon...:(
Revolution thread is on page 3 cooool
It will be good to have someone to rival the good looks, humour, physique, finesse and sheer presence of DaRuDe :o)
simply amazing
Haha! love it! you tell 'em!
If you are part of the SMS brigade then you would know better.....
Tcom, go to FB.:)
Outsourcing getting cheap staff through contractors all because of Virgin fiasco.
Why do you have to bring race and ethinicity into this?
and I think your observations are incorrect.... I have known many people to open threads that attack the mods and mostly everyone commenting support the OP....
tcom you seem to be in trouble??? is it the restructuring?
LP will be busy on his computer gadgets.
Sorry to hear that tcom. Let us hope for good.
ok tb, let us keep quite then. Seems unnoticed.
wheres LP amidst all this hungama?
When rules are implemented impartially, people complain.
If a topic similar to this was posted by an Aisan, there would have been a clamour for the OP to be banned and thread to be deleted. But if its a westerner, then its all in jest....
Double standards........
Has the SMS brigade received its come uppance???
do you think the MODS will care?
ohhh dear me not, in a mood to show any one any thing
WOW! This is the first time I heard Mandi yell, since I first joined QL...
Lol at "UNITE" and "ASSEMBLE"... Brought me back to Voltes V, Power Rangers, Powerpuff Girls and Transformers. lol
aprox 200 comments, that is the effect or the Red Bull
TCOM.. since you're back now lets show the ladies what we got. .LOl
and then hear 3 lovely words from them "It's The Best!!!" :P
I do hope he returns... I am dying to see what all the fuss was about....
Ahhhh, Mandy.... it would seem as though the mods on here are a little um..... sensitive?

i wonder that if he was a cow will we boys be so much excited ;)
QL has not changed
DP.. :(
osama, not fair...as there are too few on one side, and a lot on the other.
This is about POWER...the strongest shall win :P
osama no use of digging old graves...Ummm, i mean fresh graves...:)
is this the thread where all Qler has to write something to prove that they are still alive!?
back to topic: in my opinion there should be voting asking if that post deserve to remain or to be deleted
AND good old Mods, that's my point! I can understand a delicate editing of local politics but social life?? Come on!
Mandi
BB wat kinda question is tat ?

Dear Bull, I'm sorry you are coming to a country where I've even SEEN people drinking and I had to buy my maid's freedom from a slave trader (don't know about Chinese dollls first hand, don't get out much late at night) but where it's evidently NOT OK to discuss these things or to advise people against them.
Mandi.
BG - Pajju never saw my bike. He was lucky :(
;)
oh god, well done tinker! She would have liked the bull :)
Rizks should know what happened to soniya.
You DID check that out, did you Khanan? :P
Soniya's leg was broken last time I communicated with her.

Mandi

Mandi - Gypsy was my fav. I almost proposed her for her hand in marriage but she got married all of a sudden. I had never seen her but I fell in love with her logic and wit. Iám not sure where she is now but god bless her and her family. I heard she has a baby now :)
BG, Call OLYMPICS 2012!! lets bring this rebels on their knees!!

BB i will get u a brand new bike promise
I remember Tallg and MD - They were really good people :)

SN, no not important, just interesting news since the research strongly suggests hoax from a rather nasty source.
Mandi
BG - My bike issue is serious too...And you call this discussion serious???ROFL...Looolll
magic dragon turned into a one eyed pirate n is now no more helpful
hahahahah,,,a larger than life white boy appears and all the other boys are shakin' in their boots! This is too funny:P:P
Let me tell you this boys...you have EVERY reason to shake rofl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BG, I don't think you have any idea of how long some of us have been around and how helpful we have been. I'm one of the last from the old group. Anyone here remember Miss Scarlett, tallg, Magic Dragon? Now those were smart, sensible people. Brti, where are you?
Mandi
I dont remember which thread you are discussing here guys to join the group.
BB damn ur bike we r in a serious discussion here
BG, this thread is going to Vanish very soon... ;)
Hahahahahaha Whats going on here? Is this like a revolution now???? Can anyone help me with my bike hunt?
Oh, *%$#, there goes MY thread. Thanks SN!
Mandi
lol miss mimi ROFL
HIJACKED !
I Shall initiate QL leaks very soon.... ;)
Better to Clean up your Inbox... :P
Mandi you said - Azilana, Qatarisun, Missteacher, Britexpat, Miss Mimi, Nomerci, all the other faithful and helpful followers of QL, UNITE! (nice one)
lol!!
MODS, BG, RIZKS!! ASSEMBLE!!!! lets show this rebels a lesson
"Sorry Mandi, but PM is not safe." ROFL...reminds me of James Bond movies :)))
Bashing of the Mods not allowed? Der God, that's what we get when we TRY to discuss things with people who have NO idea of the concept of freedom of speech. Why are you so frightened? What are you protecting? Or who? Yourself? You're big boys and girls, you can filter the bad stuff.
Mandi
lol it isnt safe since ages :)
is tinker bell unfaithful why u left her name out ?
We all are Human Beings, Mistakes do happen....
Sorry Mandi, but PM is not safe.
NM, PM me. No, I'm just an admirer of Doha News after being nauseated by the Peninsula for too many years.
Mandi
And I am not talking about a Moderator, but the one who initiated the "disappearance".
Mandi seems to be promoting Doha News too much. Looks like she is a shareholder there.
Azilana, Qatarisun, Missteacher, Britexpat, Miss Mimi, Nomerci, all the other faithful and helpful followers of QL, UNITE!
I know who made the thread disappear.
And I shall remember that too.
what do u think the mod is paul octopus how can he moderate or control so much stuff at one time
spammers , q & a section , classifieds , forums n too that they work for free :(
SN, read Doha News. As I say, THEY have guts.
Mandi
mods dont allow this to happen, they're rebelling!! teach this rebels the true meaning of authority!!
I suspect this Mod is a newbie who is timidly finding his/her way. It does not follow the guidelines we've understood for years. Jeeze, the posts about illegal visas, employment scams, misinformation, prostitution - yeah, how else wold I have found out about the Ramada car park were it not for QL? And did you delete the post about the tattoo paraphernalia? Now THAT'S illegal! Ahmed! Qatari!!!
Mandi
the OP can ask the illegal question again deletion is much better
wow!! a sudden rebellious act in QL.
mod neutralize this before it spread lol
Mandi - Why?
he is the best MOD ever seen in QL History
with due respect..
he was being told about it and he got the point..
so why hue and cry about deleting the thread...
alot of newbies ask the same question and are being deleted straight away...
He asked about gambling and I told him "no". Information pure and simple. And how many people have you seen on QL asking where they can meet members of the opposite sex? Hey, everyone, write a "contact" message to Ahmed and Qatari. They will certainly understand. This Mod has gone too far. Deleting informational posts about Qatar and hairdressers. OK, so I agree with deleting SN's post. It IS rumor. Think I'll go read Doha News now. They have real guts!
Mandi
As I said. jealousy rofl!!!!
I KNEW this was going to happen.
Well boys, you need to up your game a bit...the BULL is here to stay! :P
khanan it might be legal according to Mandilulur
i second Khanan and with the Mods too !
No thread is deleted or removed without a VALID reason by MODS or whoever is moderating the site ?
agree with you Khanan......
You need to refine your search criteria :)
Nom : I was jealous....thank youn mod! :)
I like this fiery side of you Mandi :-)
n u think u can command him haha 4get it
the guy was looking for woman and gambling which is illegal in Qatar.
Has it been posted by any other, it would been not remained there for whole 2 days...
I second Mods.
BG, no he can't. I've never seen a question about ESPN, X-box and Budweiser before.
Mandi
Don't worry girls..the bull does not give up that easily...despite the obvious jealousy of SOME QL members...I
d say it will encourage him even more :P
Authority are meant to be Misused....
Why was it deleted? I like how bubbly and positive he is, we need more Bulls on QL :-)
he can use the search engine discussed earlier
OMG !
