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

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. |

They are just posts, none of the deleted/lost posts was going to change the world. I think I've had a few disappear on here... the world didn't end. To start this thread without contacting a Mod first was bad form though.
I think the Mods do a pretty good job here. Most of the time they seem to get that everybody has a different sense of humor, typed messages don't always come across right and they tolerate a fair amount of intentional and unintentional trolling. I laugh my ass off at some of Peterpoop's posts (my odd sense of humor) but I understand why they get edited or deleted. |

@Maxh91, thanks for the link, that was very helpful.
I agree, it looks like someone just cleaned up the thread. Will leave this thread open for a few days to see if anyone wants to shed some light on this but don't get your hopes up, and most importantly, don't let that in the way of having a nice 4th of July WE |

I've owned a few cars and been on quite a few forums and IMO the moderators here have been able to create a very helpful and friendly culture I've rarely seen. The posts that were deleted from what was posted in the above link seem very aggressive and I agree with whatever mod (named or not) that deleted them.
The mods are here to ensure that that culture is preserved. This place is great about that...if you want to see a place with problems check benzworld...those guys are straight up nasty! and for no reason! no fun

I think that we might want to go the route of Blizzard in how they are changing their forums as well as the Wall Street Journal. Your real name is shown. You wanna talk smack and not have posts deleted then step up and for lack of a better term, "be a man" and accept the consequences of what you have to say.

I don't think there is such a thing as over moderating. The only people who are complaining about stuff like that are guilty of some stupid remark that generally flames. I administered several forums in the past, and while there is freedom of speech and freedom of opinions and all that, there is no room for bashing another member (flaming). Those people were gone in a hurry...forcibly.
Someone has to police forums, for sure.

Yes, the mods do over moderate. They have their own rules as to what is fair. Other forums have much better moderators.
