When threads are deleted
Makes me angry when I come in here to gripe and go to return to that post only to see that it has been deleted...and for no good reason....especially when nobody was specified and no race, religion, or sex was offended....ugh....just really bothers me...

personally i think some people htat have the power to do such things on this site *excluding myself of course*..are trying to be a lil too politcally correct....especially with the closing of threads for no GOOD reason...jus cuz they can....i dunno..i think some peeps are abusing their power.....jus a thought....

I personally like it. They're not my threads, so I'm not hurt any. And I think it cleans this messy forum up a little. Also there was alot of threads that were in the wrong section, I noticed. Which was a nuisance to pick through when it should be simple because their are so many forums.

i personally have had 3 threads deleted, and this is my second post that has been changed. i can possibly see how one thread was deleted, snyx has misvalued his old n64 to which i pointed out the real market value. seems cool enough to delete it. but this thread is only changed to serve an ego. it wasn't racist, it wasn't even personal. it did not even compare to what had been spat out by smh and bob earlier. it doesn't anger me so much as irritate me for the reasons it was taken off. if there was an actual problem, or if it was way too offensive, i could understand why it would be changed. perhaps even if i was sent an email about it i would have been okay with it. to have it changed and then been notified of the change and the reasons more than a petty deflection from the point. but it was changed to serve bob and bob's idea of himself. in the end this is a message board, this is not a democratic country. it never was. this board has chosen to have moderators, and that is thier job. i really have no say in what is done with my posts. the ability to censor is a great power not to be taken lightly. to censor a post that is not directly offensive to the whole is a slippery slope to traverse. sure it could be argued that my post had no great merit. it wasn't shakespere. it was kind of biting but wasn't mean spirited. but how how to you rationalize totally changing it? the rationalization that a post is 'lame' or 'stupid' can be applied to many posts. we are now moving away from obvious things like racism and sexism, and into having moderators make large judgement calls based on thier own feelings. censors should be here to weed out offensive and crossed posts. as soon as censors start making judgement calls about who is 'stupid' and 'lame' and which posts should not be seen by other people. what happens when a moderator is having an argument with a non-moderator? all in all, i am dismayed that bob chose to change my reply, other than actaully replying to it, but i believe that it says way more changed than it ever did when it was normal. peas. r. (waiting for this post to be changed/moderated out) ((snyx, if you really don't want me never to post anymore, feel free to email me to discuss it, since i do not want to take up any board space)) |

listen ... that was the second post u put in that thread, i shouldn't have even let the first one slide... i understand u want to express your opinion of me, and do so in an arrogant manner... but it's not something that's welcome in the HEART 2 HEART section...
the reason i let the first one slide, was because you simply made a suggestion. i replied with my typical humorous response... it was your response to this, that i found offensive. the fact that i am a moderator in the heart 2 heart section is only relevant to the fact that your post got deleted IMMEDIATELY... had i not been a mod, i would've consulted with another moderator, and seen to it that the appropriate actions be taken... your second post had no value to it. other than an insult. i've had snyx delete my posts before, for the same reasons. yes, even us mods get moderated... now this is the gripe section, u can bitch about me all u want... that's the theme of this section... but i hope u can understand that your post in the "feeling kinda empty rite now... :(" thread in the heart2heart section had no relevance to either the thread, or the section... it doesn't take a brainiac to clue into the fact that "heart 2 heart" is a section where people wanna share their feelings and stuff with each other, and find a helping hand, or a shoulder to cry on. positive feedback... not some jackass kicking people while they're down (i'm not calling you a jackass, it's just an example)... F&K as a whole, is a respectable community. let's try to keep it that way. like i said, i know you have an opinion of me, and i'm all for freedom of speech, and fuck democracy and whatnot. but i also stress that each post be relevant to the topic it was posted in, and suitable for the section it's in. |

snyx's comment in that thread is an insult that has nothing to do with the thread. please moderate that. when you are done, please moderate where you tell me to shutup, since that is an insult with no relevance to the thread. unless of course the insults of moderators is more important than whatever you took offence to from me. it seems that by deleting my singular insult 2 more have replaced it.

what people care about is up to them, not you, last time i checked. as for what can i do? i can do a heck of a lot. like i said, if you wish to have me leave, i'm open to talk about it. i'll even set up a mail account for you. [email protected] . feel free to mail it and we can save space on the message board. newtch. r. |

listen shitdip. i appreciate your arguments, i'm guessing u like to argue, and i'm pretty sure u won't shutup until someone takes your side and you feel good about yourself... i do it all the time... if i could afford the education, i'd love to be a fuckin' lawyer...
but being a smartass will only get u so far... now even though snyx just posted a pretty cold reply to what you had to say... i'm taking his side. which isn't something i do on a daily basis, just cuz i'm a mod and he's god, don't assume me & him are here to gang up on you... ...obviously u've put a lot of time and thought into your arguments in this thread... that's exactly what we (well, at least me...i'm sure there's others here...) like to see on f&k... even if it is a rant, as long as it's within context, and in the appropriate section... quality is what i like to see... think about what you posted in reply to my thread in heart 2 heart... was there much thought put into it? did u expect anyone to appreciate what u wrote? when i changed your post to "shutup", i did it with the intent to straighten you up... i'll delete the post when i get around to it... i just wanted to make sure you read it... tough love, right? ...to make a long story short... umm... shutup. if u don't like the way things work here... then leave. but personally, i'd rather u not... so if u need to further pursue your argument, u can e-mail me... [email protected] ... or u can just keep this thread going... |

oh yea, and about me & stabby not leaving "positive feedback"... like i said, "ur new here aren't u?" ... me and stabby are always like that... it's almost like our way of online foreplay or something...
it's what we do... u'll get used to it if u stick around... |

im not gonna point out any specific posts or anything...im jus making an observation that ive noticed throughout my time onthe site...but if u do want an example theres this..i remember way back when, when bob posted a pick and made fun of her complexion at the time...that thread was closed and later deleted...i saw no need to do such a thing since it was quite amusing and was nothing really offensive....
but thats jus one isolated incident but it was needless to delete it...i noticed one the other day but it was closed but now i can't seem to find it...i forget where it was but beatITfarmer had replied tothe post or started the thread i do remember that.... i was jus stating that maybe mods and GODS..*i guess*...should maybe be a lil more open minded when it comes to a message board..i have yet to ever be offended or known anyone to be offended for a legitimate reason by any post on the site...i could be wrong about that but im jus stating an opinion... maybe the Private Messaging service could be used to inform the poster if its really THAT severe and have them change it.,...if not then resort to the deletion of the post...but other than that...its an abuse of power.... corrie |

thnx cowboy, bob, stabby...
i obviously don't care what the changed thread says. i'm a big boy:) the point was to get people talking and to take a side on the issue, even if they don't agree with me, at least they *think* about it. cuz it's something worth thinking about. no hard feelings on the issue and all that. r. (wow snyx! looks like people do care what i say! whodathunk!) |

Only people like 187 or shitz get banned in my books
Unfortunately I missed the posts but modifying them and deleting them is kinda bunk unless it's a valid reason.
But like i said i never read them and i've seen a few of rawbs posts here and there and i've never been offended. Carry on..:029: |

Bad moderation. Don't you want people to visit this site? And I am in favour of "good moderation" don't mess with people's posts if they aren't offensive or posted in the wrong section. Personal reasons is a bullocks reasoning. And as a user of f-k I do appreciate "quality" reading like werdyboys odd post. And Dj.Form and Kaos know where the good moderation is at! :) ~vesperstina Last edited by vesperstina; Aug 01, 01 at 06:12 PM. |

I have to say...as a mod, I don't think I've ever deleted or changed anyone's posts since the beginning of this site, unless they had personally PM'ed me or emailed me to edit certain things for them...
I rarely take offence to what people write within their posts... it's their own opinion, their own personality, and their own individuality... This is a message board on the internet...there are barely any guidelines to it, but if *fighting, :289: insulting, accusing, etc* actually take place, the person possibly may get a warning, but regardless, I don't think this site really puts that much restriction on what people want to say :111: and feel That is my opinion... :237: And honestly, I don't know what posts or threads have been deleted in the past, but there are so many nowadays it's hard to keep up, you know? :288: |
