@Kontra and others, I love you and always thought you were full of BS about posts being deleted...

... and now mine were too.

I’m out.

It was a blast. Love to you all.

EDIT: BTW, I assume Ian deletes many of my posts just to free up bandwidth.

RoboTurner is the master of coming to this board (he’s a Saints fan), taking a perfectly fine thread, and ruining it, causing it to get locked. It’s not the first time it’s happened...mods delete portions of threads, so basically everyone’s got deleted from the time the Saints/Church scandal was discussed.

Happens all the time. It just probably rarely happens to you because of your longevity and the fact that you gave money to the site.

I had 5-6 posts deleted (and warned) a couple months ago for mentioning Ring 6 is Andy Johnson...but it's open season for everyone else it seems *sigh*

I had one deleted. I was not happy about it. I’m still a supporter. For now.

I had one of mine deleted recently. I'm pretty close to done also.

Are you guys really that mad about this?

@Patjew Man, buddy...I respect your opinion and your actions. I respect you as a person more - in so far as you present yourself in your posts here, at least.

I get the sense of outrage but I hope you reconsider, because in the grand scheme of things a thread being deleted isn't worth losing the friends you've made here.

To be fair mods quietly delete a lot of my posts and I tend to just move on and not get angry. I think it's because I got used to abusive mods at other forums that I just am like 'oh ok whatever' and happily move on because here the mods aren't using their status to berate me publicly or privately or something. I'm ok with it.

Not to sound demeaning to your feelings, but it's not like we're nailing a parchment to the door of Wittenburg castle when we post here so despite the feeling of personal injury I used to have I think it's no great loss when something is deleted, nor do I think it is oppression.

Compared to other boards I’ve been, I think this place is pretty well moderated to be honest.

Agreed.

I missed all the action.

Wow it’s crazy so many good posters are talking about leaving

Why do I feel like this was posted with an agenda because of how one time Ashley was mean to you during a GDT or something?

People have kvetched about casual moderation for ages and done all sorts of protests and **** and yet they're still here.

Earlier today Icy shut down a Saints/Church thread. Then a discussion of it started in the existing Saints thread when RoboTurner came in to annoy everyone as usual with Saints paranoia and was defending the Saints.

@Patjew had a long, well-thought out post about it. Of course, I did notice another regular poster who I greatly respect took issue with some of the wording. That’s the problem with really divisive issues like politics and religion, in my opinion and why I personally don’t mind when they get erased. But I can understand why PatJew is upset...just hope he realizes it was about the topic itself and not a personal seal of disapproval to him.

No agenda just saying it would be a shame to see posters leave

Ashley attacking posters and over-moderating a game day thread?

Well I just can’t believe that

If they delete certain posts, its probably for a good reason. I'm sure I've had a few deleted here and there - I don't even notice
