Mother of all moderators

^ and that's why it says "Super Moderator" under tk-421's name!

I think you should handle it however you want with the time you have. It's not like the Mods on here are getting awesome percs from the owner....ifyouknowwhatImean.

but I'm sure it could come to that if we had to mass-delete threads by a flamer (it's happened before...)

oh yeah -- that guy. I forgot.

Thanks for the kudo's!
Actually it seems to be the default title for moderators on YW. Even worse, it's impossible to change in my case...

TK, just PM the admin!

j/k
Actually, I think maybe in your case they did it on purpose, TK :P
it's a well-deserved title.

Imperial stormtroopers don't need these "percs" you speak of...
Faithful Micro Image customers, however, will take them any chance we get!

Merci madame!

It was Pavel, he's too quiet

But I do remember yarisugi's post as well.
I too have seen posts get deleted of mine, mainly because the mod/s had to delete the person's post that i responded to..leave no evidence?

For Facebook posts, isn't there an approval thing you can set before it appears on your wall?

[why?]

posts always disappear. I wouldn't blame the mods for it, could even be a glitch in the software. Who knows. Stranger things have happened. While much maligned these mods do seem to let a ton go.

I think most people get the distinction.

It might be more insightful to simply redact the member's post with a line such as "Moderator deleted. Reason:..." and so forth for the reason. Both the offender and rest of community would, in my mind, benefit from the public enforcement and education. Works better than the existing silent big brother method, I feel.

Tried that, it just propagated more deletable content. From my point of view as an Admin, I only have an obligation to inform the member whose post was edited or deleted, so that's what we do. It's pretty rare on those forums anyway.

Over here, Mods be workin' a lot harder!

No one on here does that (not intentionally, at least, or if anyone does it, we just don't know who it is). This comes up now and then and none of the mods know what happened to the posts . A few of mine have disappeared as well, a while back, and they didn't show "deleted", they just vanished into thin air. It's annoying when it happens but not much we can do. Maybe a glitch in the database, or something. Computers can and do act screwy sometimes.

We can't do "moderator deleted" and post a reason. The software won't let us. You either delete or you don't.

bumping strictly to get a rise out of Garm, who was trying to bury this thread :0P

Is the member informed if an entire thread is deleted, taking their post along with it?

(There was a nonsense thread started an hour or so ago. A member replied with a funny post. I replied with a belly roll. Then another member made an 'attempt to decipher' post re the nonsense post. His/Her sparse, bookended commentary re the nonsense post was probably the second funniest post I've ever read on Yarisworld, second only to the post you wrote that you made only because you got tired of seeing "Mother of all Moderators" on the homepage screen. I typed a reply, letting this member know the post belonged in the 'Hall of Fame' just below your post. I clicked on submit reply and got an invalid thread message. I returned to that section and the entire thread was gone. I haven't received any notification that my first (bellyroll) post was deleted)

[tk-421]

I just restored the thread.
That happens when the OP is banned for spamming.

Thanks for the information!

I decided to have a little fun with that thread myself. I actually didn't expect it to stay up.

if you can't have fun with the spammers, why have them? especially the ones that don't speak english and rely on online translators to translate their spam...
