Why are threads deleted without any explanation?

Too political

Too sexual

Rolex vs Omega

My uncle gave me this watch, how much is it worth?

Because this forum is not a democracy.
It is a benevolent dictatorship.
The owners and the moderators can do whatever they like.

You'd be surprised, I'm totally toeing the party line.
And there is no dissent on my part.

duplicate threads

posting the same questions across multiple sub-forums

sales rules problems

bad behaviour after warnings

generally being a dick & annoying too many people

topics touching on illegality

replica watches

abusive behaviour after having threads deleted or sales ads pulled

spam

... are the most frequent reasons. 🙄

Irredeemable Wanking
I was going to ask what « wanking » means but having decided to look it up in an online dictionary I’m no longer interested in asking the question.

Are you trying to cause this thread to vanish too by the way?

I believe that calling someone a "wanker" is often used by Brits as a general insult, instead of its literal meaning. Like in the US we would call someone a jerk.
