Whats up with this site? why do they delete threads? :nono:
if someone says something that a moderator doesnt like they delete it?
I think all threads have value even if some idiot makes a stupid comment...
If the thread goes off topic then delete the off topic posts!!
anyone agree or disagree? or will this be deleted too?

If some Idiot makes a stupid comment then the rest of us should'nt have to waste our time reading it. This is why the Moderators are here. God bless the mods... :) Not all threads have value. Some should be deleted. The mods are here to keep up the integrity of this site... and they do a great job. I would'nt waste my time here if the Moderators were'nt keeping check.

I had a post deleted once. It was my condolences to the Beck family. unfortunatly my avatar was a skantily clad woman, totally inappropriate for the situation. Good catch by the Mods. Keep it clean, Keep it family and Keep it respectable and I asure you the Mods will not delete your post.

MODS RULE

I have perfected a system.
Just go postal and they will ban you.
1 year/ 6 months/couple weeks.
During that time they dont delete any of your posts.

dirty job but someone has to do it. Mods do a good job keeping the site focused and the BS filtered. help is always available and the BS is always eliminated. Thanks to all the mods and what they have to deal with. Sometimes there is a fine line

I think the question that he is trying to ask is this: Why does a whole thread get taken down instead of just a post? I would assume that it is possible to delete just a single post, but it would get very complicated to try to figure out which individual posts get canned, and which ones don't. The threads might become harder to follow with missing posts. The fairest way to deal with the problem posts is probably to do what they are doing right now, deleting the whole thread. I would hope that people might think about what they post a little bit harder, knowing that the whole thread might disappear if they spout off. Just my 2cents.

Generally it is just the persons post that gets deleted, not the thread. However if a thread gets out of hand the whole thread might get removed. Most times they are taken away from your view but the Mods can still see the thread. Then we discuss the merit of the thread and sometimes it comes back and sometimes it does not. This process may take a few days though.
It's often a group decision, not just one Mod determining the fate of a thread.
We try to be as fair as possible and in most cases will let the Peeps that are getting out of hand know why we are addressing a certain thread.
Sometimes Peep just go a bit wild but once we PM them they are generally understanding.

Hope that helps everyone understand what is happening.

I must say again....the peeps on this site truly understand the site, support us Mods and often self manage the site as well.

If you have any concerns regarding post or threads being deleted, please send one of the mods a PM so we can address your concerns. Unlike many sites, we don't hide who our mods are.

Cheez.
