Moderators Overmoderating?

[cali yaris]

I'm sure it wasn't a glitch because PETERPOOP's posts were deleted, too. His may not have been thread related, but why include mine?

I gotta say something.

Sorry, but someone definitely deleted the posts. Peterpoop was being an ass in the thread, btw. My recollection is that yarisugi also said something about the OP posting up replicas; I know it wasn't just a question.

Claiming "computer glitch" doesn't serve those whose posts disappeared. Maybe Bueller was on for a bit and did some cleaning up, or another Mod that hasn't chimed in yet. Maybe this should be kept open until you know more.

with all of that said, OP you should PM a mod before committing to an open thread. Mods, you responded on the thread, so here we are.

Yes, it wasn't just a question, but what I asked and said was "what is the brand of the wheel, instead of posting replica". For potential buyers, it's good for the buyer to know that the wheel is a replica and not the real thing, but it also helps to post the real brand to avoid potential buyers asking more questions and prevents anyone from being misled. Thanks for your recollection cali yaris. I'm glad someone remembered. I wanted to know the brand of wheel myself, but that post got deleted. I know it wasn't a glitch. Thanks camell. I'm not the only one :) I'm not trying to start a "me against them" war, just want the mods to be consistent and fair.

It was called for.

Just a thought:

Mods: have you all changed your passwords since the last couple of phishing attempts?

[Astroman]

I did, even though I didn't click on the phishing link. I wasn't even aware mods could do a hard delete. Guess I've been soft deleting everything, even spam. The only "mod" that went nuts deleting posts and threads was dropped as a mod and made a regular user again.

I can't speak for everyone, but I didn't delete anything. I think I do a pretty good job moderating, and I thank this community for allowing me to do this for as long as I have, and I hope to continue for a LONG time.
