What's inappropriate about it? It's a link to a movie file that looks like a commercial for a home pregnancy test. There was nothing graphic, explicit or flaming about it. It looked to me like an ironic answer to the topic of the thread (which in itself looks like trolling to me, but thank the gods I don't have to make that call).

UPDATE: It helps if I watch the entire video. I retract everything I said except for the trolling comment.

Did you watch the entire video?
Did you watch the entire video?Ah, no I hadn't. I apologise, I thought I had. You're right, the video is inappropriate.

The thread itself is not trolling.
I haven't downloaded the video. I'll leave that to another Mod.

It contains a graphic depiction of homosexual sex.

Okay, then it's not something I can investigate right now, anyway.

If it does turn out to be against forum rules, may I suggest the moderators go through and edit the link out from any of the quoted replies to the post (if the thread even remains in existence)? I took the link out of mine after ITD reminded us all that the video was inappropriate, but it doesn't seem like anyone else followed suit.

Might be better to delete the post involved and keep the relevant thread(s) deleted. I don't think a graphic depiction of sex should be on the fora.

The original seven posts and the followups that did not refer to the video have been split off and returned to General, here (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=397762). The remaining posts are gone. This does not invalidate the prior Moderator rulings in any way.
I would like to emphasize that this was more of an exercise of a new mod and his toolbox, than something which is expected to be standard policy. It's too much like work to do on a regular basis, so don't expect it.

Whoa, I had expected that the whole thread would remain in the deleted state.
Huh.

... and it would have, if I hadn't felt like fiddling with finding out what it would take to restore it. What a pain in the butt. Won't be doing that too often, I promise you.

Hee, I'd bet. Myrth said something about having to select every post to split out or something like that...
Not much fun.
Wow, I seem to have turned this thread into chatting...
I suppose that isn't appropriate here in Moderation?
Maybe I should shut up now.
