Explanations for deleted posts?

Mussels · Jul 22, 2009

the reason this is turning into an argument, is because you're being too defensive mailman. Just because someone disagrees isnt a reason to pick apart their reasoning - you CAN just let them be, and allow w1zzard to read this thread when he gets around to checking this subforum (which he does).

When he reads the thread, he'll see where majority opinion lies and make a decision himself - 'debating' or arguing every little point is not going to sway his opinion either way.

Even the thread title "hey mods" isnt very tactful - its a bad title. "Question about deleted posts", "suggestion about deleted posts" "why arent people notified when posts are deleted?"
Things like this may be related to why some of your posts go away. The message can be the same, but different methods of wording lead to different connotations and implications, thus turning a question into a challenge, and a rebuttal into an argument.

God, look what you've done. you made me get all smart like, at 4am.

I'm talking about statements and or satire that has to do with the topic thats misunderstood and deleted.

Don't worry, we're fairly good at understanding if a post bears relevance to the topic and at the same time isn't inciting an argument, and whether it should stay there or not.

well i was talking to dan earlier and he sent me this ,Google indexes all ancient threads, more hits on Google = more traffic. so whether you can tickle the net into showing you old threads is anybodys guess, allthough if they aren't ancient and have been deleted i guess you won't find them because they won't have been indexed and won't be there

anyway stop it now before someone gets hurt

Wizz taking this suggestion and implementing is about -100% after reading some of the responses. I wasn't trying to be defensive. Just trying to make myself clear.

Edit: Here is an example of what I would like. This is from my profile page.

I think everything seems fine and mods can judge pretty well... and it is kinda hard not to know why your post was deleted...

BUT, I guess for some people, they WANT something like the infractions message... like the 2-3 words description.... which would also mean more PMs to the mods not less!

idk for me it seems obvious that the best way to go is how it is now...

dr emulator (madmax) · Jul 22, 2009

argh the big cheese has arrived now maybe this strange talk will end and the thread will be deleted without any messages or reason given

Ahhzz · Jul 22, 2009

Just wondering why this is not in the "What's wrong with out forums" thread, right below my request for a PM when someone deletes the thread out of FS/FT...

Because there is nothing wrong with the forums. This was just some feedback by yours truly.

dr emulator (madmax) · Jul 22, 2009

ooh this thread is getting quite an audience

and its in comments and feedback, exactly where it belongs.

W1zzard · Jul 22, 2009

there wont be a feature that shows your deleted stuff. if you get an infraction/warning a mod can include a more elaborate message what you did wrong.

if you could see who deleted and why we would have more drama threads about how people feel they get singled out by mods, or how the deletion was unjustified etc.

if it was deleted it was deleted for a reason.

if you need to get the post text back because it contains the only copy of your secret formula to turn toilet papers into dollars, contact a supermod/admin

Mussels · Jul 22, 2009

and the lord hath spoken.

hey w1zz, when did you add your system specs! i'll have to have a looksee...

XP SP2? retro.

W1zzard · Jul 22, 2009

even when something is not implemented, i appreciate the suggestions, and keep them coming. i hope you understand the reasoning behind it now.

Oh I understand. Again as I said in my first post this is the only thing that has ever bothered me about this place. Mods are fair and trolls are few. What more could you ask for. :toast:

free beer, and downloadable cars.

When both are legally possible, im sure w1zzard will implement it.

w1zz: no one in their right mind would argue with you, about what you need your PC to do. That said, you are still the only person i know of, that is still using IE6

TheMailMan78 · Jul 22, 2009

@ W1zz

Off Topic: Ya know when I first noticed you had system specs I expected my monitor to explode when I clicked on the link from pure overclocked power! Instead I see you're running Xp.

works fine for me. loads fast. i got a proxy in front of it that rewrites the page content, removes ads, enables right click, enables copy and paste, allows frame sizing, blocks popups, blocks flash, freezes gif animation and everything else i could imagine i need

dr emulator (madmax) · Jul 22, 2009

well people just need to behave read the rules and that's it
and not try to incite world war 3 it just makes the site look tatty and unprofessional

maybe the rules need changing to be stricter

it's ok at the mo though .read the sig that says it all ,although sig does need tidying up as it's a mess
