Question about this forum

I thought I was going nuts, I was sure that I made a lengthy post about Mass Money, but looking at my profile it vanished.

In most forums if you make an inappropriate post your post may be edited, at the very least you get a note from a moderator, but nothing, just gone.

Then I found a tab that I had left that had the post, it was here:

http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ass-money.html

Now it just says:

"Invalid Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator"

This is a concern, I don't mind being told to edit my most but I hate it being deleted with notice or reason.

  • The mods run a tight ship here, and most of us think it's a good thing. Please check the sticky notes for the rules. You must have violated one, thus the chop.

    Also, you'll notice in the rules that this is such a busy place that mods don't explain their actions. They are known to be very fair, balanced and reasonable, however.
  • You are not nuts.

    Your thread got nuked by one of the forum moderators. Since I did not see the post, I cannot comment on why it got nuked. But generally, those things get nuked for rules that were violated.

    This thread will eventually get nuked too, because asking about why you got nuked is also something that takes a lot of useless space on the forum.

    If you are offended that it was deleted without notice or reason, get used to it or stop coming here.

    • perhaps they could PM me with my original text and a note anout why it was nuked so I could edit it.

  • Oh boy, here we go again!

    This isn't other forums.

    It has been discussed to death why the "super mods" simply cannot, and WILL not offer explanations,.

    You'll just have to trust me on this: there a lot of valid reasons why they don't do it.

    Also, it is an unwritten rule (?), though it HAS been written as a response SEVERAL times, that you shouldn't post asking why your thread was deleted.

    They don't owe us an explanation, though we may prefer one from time to time. The smart thing to do is just let it go.

    All the best,
    Michael

    • Understood but they would avoid a lot more bad posts if they explained, it would shape their community.

      Are you not allowed to review products on here then?

  • Obviously, we cannot comment on it, because we did not see.

    Those are tasked with that stuff have enough on their plates to hold our hands all the time.

    I had about 15 of my posts nuked on Friday, but I know why, and they deserved to be nuked. LOL

    Just read over the forum rules as Don advised. You will likely come across some explanation there that makes it all come into focus.

    • 15! What the hell did you do? Tell me so I don't make the same mistake.

      If I lost 15 posts I would just go start my own forum with more free speech.

      This may be the biggest and best forum just now, but once IBM was the biggest until a new pretender called Microsoft came along. Then Microsoft tried to avoid some anti competition hassle in the EU so it bailed out a company on the verge of going bust, it was a small little company called Apple.

  • I don't think anyone would argue that the mod thing is necessary, and sometimes threads need to be nuked. I just think it would be nice if we would get a notice telling us why our thread was nuked. Most times we don't realize we broke a rule, and if we never get told what we did wrong, we are not likely to learn.

    • Sure, it may be nice in some cases, but have you not seen the countless threads where this has been discussed?

      The rules really aren't all that hard to figure out. Really. Yes, some of them make some time, but nothing that even a modicum of participation couldn't iron out.

      Besides, let's say a mod offers an explanation. What do you think most people would do (not you, just in general)? Would they say, "Okie dokie. Thanks!" or would they say, "Understood, but...".

      OR...would they start looking for ways around the rule?

      It could be any of the above. But from my point of view, offering explanations would only create problems.

      All the best,
      Michael

  • Dude, if you are really concerned about free speech, then do go start your own forum.

    This place serves a specific purpose as defined by its owner... Therefore you have no rights of free speech here...

    My 15 posts that got nuked was when I and a few other Warriors got teed off about something and started flaming the crap out of each other.

    We deserved deletion!

    Even mods had their posts deleted in that exchange, so there...
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • "What is naming names?"

    GIYF

    Anyway...

    Rule #1 is very clear.

    You may want to read it.

    All the best,

    • As seen at the top of the main index page:

    • I am going to do that right now.
  • I heard there were free thanks being given out here... yes, more please <-- also what she said.

    • When you post is this forum site make sure that you read the rules and regulations for you to become aware of it.
  • And back to the OP, I've had more posts and commentary removed than I can keep track of. It's not something to lose sleep over.
