Moderators Overmoderating?

[tomato]

Yarisugi, I have *no idea* why your post is gone. Doesn't make any sense to me.

[cali yaris]

say shut the whole damn thing down

The whole internet?

Funny how when a non paying person claims a wrong

You think the Mods give a crap whether I pay or not? How about that I made a clear rational point, or asked a relevant question?

[yarisugi]

food fight!!!

[Kioshi]

the wheels on the bus go round and round...round and round...round and round~

Yarisugi, i believe you. And if you know for certain that the post was deleted, go ahead and post again. If it gets deleted the second time...then obviously the admin has something to do w/ it or....a moderator who hasn't spoken up or is unwillingly not telling the truth.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

I remember seeing that post. No question mark on the end. lol.

[yarisugi]

Thanks Kaotic? :D

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Just checked back at that thread, definitely cleaned up. ChrisLB (mod) hasn't chimed in, nor is he really active. Perhaps he may have accidentally hard cleaned everything, or it may be a coincidental glitch that got rid of all post irrelevant (minus the OP's question) to the thread.

No, not always. We try to be fair, believe it or not. I've left some posts up that I myself consider of highly questionable taste, but peeps seem to be enjoying them, so yeah, at times, I look the other way. I suspect we all do.

either, nor unlock threads that were only supposed to be locked for a couple of days. I asked for a thread to be deleted a long time ago. It was deleted for awhile and then it was reopened but remained locked.

A reminder, or a PM might do the trick. Sometimes it gets really busy in here, and then it's time to log off, and we forget. We're human. A quick PM "hey, dude, did you forget about my thread, thanks?" is all it takes. PM me / or leave a visitor msg if my PM box is full, and I'll look at your thread and see if I can figure out what the problem is.

Funny how when a non paying person claims a wrong all the mods tag team and jump on that person but when garm steps in you guys take a different road. WOW keep up the good work!

hmmm... I don't know if that's entirely true but thank you anyway, i'm gonna pretend there is a compliment in there for all the hard work we do indeed, believe it or not.

another proof that we don't delete most posts

darn, I checked in again and no food fight.

[tomato]

there ya go!

Even though Garm is a vendor. Make him a Mod. He seems to be more rational than most of the mods on this site. I've been around a long time and have 2,000 posts to my credit (damn bimmerfest).

[Maxh91]

Glitch....
Do you really think that the mods delete post for fun???
It is possible that the Database lost 1 or 2 post (read,Write error). The website/forum is hosted on a server(still a computer) and many thing could happend.

[cali yaris]

not for fun, but because there was some nastiness. Only the "nasty" posts disappeared, that is very unlikely to be random. Database corruption, in my experience, almost never results in "clean deletes" like this.

ztrack, thanks man, but I think these Mods do an extraordinary job with the tools they have, and even lacking the Admin-level support they so desperately need, they carry on, for all of us.

so, carry on... I'm prolly gonna end up with all those replica wheels anyway.

[yarisugi]

damn you... not the blue ones~!

[cali yaris]

^ only if you don't buy them... get on it!

[tomato]

oh the blue ones are really tight!
I'm *really* tempted *sigh*
