So where is the “junk drawer”? Is that only available to plaid members?

Is this where locked threads go?  If the locked thread had any useful actual modelling information, would that information be lost with a deleted/locked thread?

No, locked threads stay visible to the members.

Not sure why  :tommann: Junk-Drawered that graffiti   thread.  While the discussion got a bit strange, it still have useful info in it.  Most locked threads get locked locked exactly becuase the discussion gets to be too much, but they stay visible. I'm a bit puzzled why this one got totally nixed.

My guess would be that it accidentally exposed information that someone had agreed not to make public.  But I'm just speculating.

MTL Joe just started the thread about something that they also officially posted on their website.

It got tossed because people don't know how to behave. It wasn't post related.

But if you're someone who feels the need to cause trouble in people's real lives over model train model choice you need to revaluate how you're living your life and spending your time.

This is a sad commentary on society. It's a hobby with A LOT of different aspects we all enjoy (for the most part) so let everyone enjoy the aspects they like most and don't get butt hurt because they don't think the same way as you.
