Jesus it must be nice to be a deckie and have time to sit around and Google fucking wind formulas. I wish I could write formulas for changing cylinder heads instead of actually doing it. Wish I would have gone deck.
Great post bahahhaha.
Anybody else have this happen? It wasn’t even a controversial post, it was just making fun of someone’s wind/psi formula finding. Anyway, I must be bored if I truly give a crap about this.
don’t sweat it is what I say. The policy of the Administrators is to summarily delete any post that someone reports. There are a few thin skinned people on here who can’t take a jab with a pointy stick but thankfully, vastly more here who can.

No reported post, but you are talking about a thread that was started by a Moderator. So, if it wasn’t on that topic, it most likely was removed to stay on point.
Has a thread ever stayed on point here? There’s usually a tangent found to be followed within a few pages at the latest…

There are not too many original posters to a thread that report posts unless it becomes inflammatory, hence many threads not staying on point. That doesn’t mean that the ability (to delete) cannot be exercised at times. In this case, I did not delete the post, but did see it archived, and stand behind the reason why the Moderator deleted it.

Ok got it. Don’t fuck with moderators and their silly wind/psi formulas.
Your pseudonym might be a turn off also. I choked on my bagel first time I saw it.

I work on a ship with 5000+ square meters of sail area. We do these calculations on a routine basis, in fact we are required to. It appears that this subject is outside your area of expertise.

It is pretty funny, and the visual that comes with it…

Wow those are big sails. Do you have a bunch of salty seamen climbing your rigging? Do you carry lemons on board to prevent scurvy? I bet you have a cabin boy. Fun stuff
Pretty tacky to delete the post, moderator or not.

This is a professional mariner’s forum and some pro mariners here have an interest in the topic of the thread. Some members on the other hand evidently wish to turn threads in which they have no knowledge or interest into some kind of juvenile back and forth exchange of insults. Doesn’t need to happen on every thread. Opinions vary, anyone has a beef, tell the admins.
Was that in your SMS?
I was interested in your thread by the way. Just thought it was a weak move.

Hello McFlaps,
It has happened to me as well. I didn´t like it either, but I don´t sweat it.
C-Captain I really like the Boss Hog Avatar. Brings back memories.
