its a miracle you didnt get an infraction.

http://img.techpowerup.org/100604/Capture010.jpg


no pics with handwritten names.
no heatware.
one item has no picture at all.
all pictures must be ready before posting the thread (none of yours are 'ready')


technically thats four rules broken, with the added insult that you didnt bother to read the rules of that forum section at all (or you decided to ignore them completely)


Yes you are justified in asking where your thread went since you werent notified - but jesus, be glad you DIDNT get infracted over it.

I know its a lot to dig through but somewhere in this mess of other topic I touched on how the wording of needing pictures for 'sale/trade' items can be confused with fs/ft thread types. I'm not explaining it again, it would have been easy to find if this thread was more on topic. I'm not arguing I need photos or not if the thread wants them fine now that I know I will put them on in my WTB sections or I won't include that I have things I would trade, im happy I did not get an infraction, and frankly a little surprised I did not get one for my convo with Erocker after.

Exactly! Ask what happened, don't just repost the thread...
I'm not going to go ask every mod in a section if they decided to play god on my thread. I am a web administrator and get enough idiots emailing me at work.

True that, if the forums mods don't like my suggestions they can delete my thread. But I had thought I could not leave this part of the internet.

You aren't asking if you are asking why, it is their "jobs" to inform you, and they would be happy to do so if you do so in a kind manner.

But instead you want to make more work for them by creating a second thread that violates the rules, then when that thread gets deleted also, you want to throw a hissy fit and cause a bunch of drama...yeah...that sure is some good common sense you got there...

What would be funny as hell if the mod that did it stepped forward and banned him now. Ohhhh the shenanigans! :roll:

Then they did not do their job newtekie, who ever deleted the first thread did not do their job. Thats the first time I ever said that you will notice.
I was not informed that the job of the mod is to contact me, your acting like I should know its the mods job to tell me anything. is it? Where is it written in stone what you must do as a mod? Because apparently you think im just being an ass hole posting this. Its not in stone it does not say anywhere that I can read what mods are supposed to tell us and one of you told me nothing.

My thread was about wanting to buy something. like the 3rd one I have up right now. That was the point, not to piss off the mods. After being up (awake) for over 24 hours I wanted to find a i7 processor, once again, not to be an ass hole and make a mods life harder. Your the one throwing a fit newtekie, vomiting the same info over and over. Grow up, the last 6 posts you made were fluff to ad your 'hissyfit' and 'drama' into.

If thats what your so bent on talking about then lets talk about that. What else do you have to say hmm?

calm down people.

we can customise them. it shows on the infraction itself.


you have only received one warning (no infractions) because you made an off topic post that the moderator involved deemed to be "inciting argument" - which insults about WoW, macs, or any fanboy group tends to turn into.

I still don't entirely see the point of this thread. Pretty much op messed up and didn't follow rules his thread was deleted like the rules stated would happen then it happened again so now this thread is a complaint about something written in black and white?

I actually agree with the OP's suggestion. If a person's thread or post is deleted, regardless of section, they should at least get a generic message saying their post/thread was deleted for breaking the rules. Doesn't even have to be specific. Heck, even an automated script of some kind. At that point, they can PM a Mod for more info if they need. This can actually save moderators work in the long run, as they don't have to worry about dupe thread deletions, and the possible backlash involved.

It's a simple, and justified suggestion, in my opinion.

This isn't about b/s/t. He just used that as an example. Ignore that part completely.

^ what he said.

the rules saying 'thread will be deleted without warning' is kinda pointless if they didnt read the rules in the first place.

While I do agree with the general idea of this thread—I think that we're totally going about it the wrong way, what with all the drama going on. Here's what I propose:

Perhaps whenever a thread gets closed, or a post gets deleted, the person who made that thread/post should be notified through a PM, with some form of reasoning. If something like this happens and there's no notification or reason given, it could start drama, such as this...

If a member has an inquiry about some administrative action and they cause a bunch of drama, constant arguing with the moderators etc, they start getting infractions.

Totally can see where GSG is coming from, I'm new to the forums, posted something to the fs section. He told me the way i posted my ad was not according to rules, and explained the rules. I then edited my thread, and sent him a PM thanking him.

If my thread just disappeared, I'd be upset too.

If a mod can't be arsed to send you a PM I would have to guess you can find the reason in the guidelines. Most people can't be arsed to read them, they should not make that our problem. Secondly, it could be that the spam filter caught it for some reason, it happens. A mod will take care of it in this case. Just be patient. Reposting whatever got removed will only annoy moderators. Instead of making this thread you could send a PM to a mod and ask why something happened. We do not need public discussions about moderator actions.
