Topic: Forum moderators deleting posts they don't like? (Read 487 times)

Looking at the post histories of some of the complainants here I get a feeling that Hellfish is doing a great job.

OP hasn't even bothered to provide an example of a deleted post.

---

It's much worse than that. You wasted the time of everyone reading or skipping over or reporting or deleting your garbage posts. Having your posts deleted should have been a clear hint that they're garbage. I bet they were similar to this brilliant piece of investment advice on page 13 of a thread already full of the same crap:

My posts also weren't off topic so I don't really understand why this happened.

Quoting to preserve

Clearly you have a major problem in that you can't read a thread.  It is clear that you look at thread titles and post a stupid nonsensical reply.  You are also a blatant flat out LIAR.

Now we get to the real reason your here and in this thread crying.  Your very first way to become a millionaire with crypto is to RANK UP.  You are part of the problem that has plagued the forum.  You are here for ONE reason and one reason ONLY.  You treat this forum like a paycheck that you have a right to abuse.  You look at thread titles and verbally puked horseshit all over the forum for a couple of nickles a week hoping and telling other users can become millionaires abusing this forum.  It's likely that the post below yours is an alt.  You probably have more as well so it makes me think you may even be an account farmer and serial abuser.

Isn't it convenient that you can come in here and flail around crying lack of freedom of speech and claiming my censorship of a major hot button topic like religion when in reality you don't care one little bit about ANYTHING other than making sure you get paid.  If I had of deleted posts of yours in a thread about taking a piss this morning you would be in here just the same crying about not getting paid.

It is also pretty convenient that someone in the same campaign as you had the exact same problem and stumbled into a meta thread about it within 20 minutes or so of each other, no chance that's an alt of yours eh?? 

I am going to request that anyone reading this who likes to investigate alt connections take a look into you and the account below you to see if they can determine any connections.  It wouldn't surprise me one bit if you had some alts and we could find a connection, maybe just maybe we can get some nice new red paint for you buddy!

That also happens to me.  I have made posts more than 30 to to rank up as Jr Member.  When I check my account, my posts were deleted and my rank go back to newbie.  I have to make and work on my posts to rank up again as Jr Member.  My effort and time were wasted.  I hope the moderators wont take personally the opinion of others.  It has a great impact for users with bounty campaigns.

So sad. I have the same experience as yours.  Before my posts were more on Christianity.  When I check, all my posts were deleted with being notified.  They said the moderators belongs to other religion and belief.  They dont agree with our opinion maybe the reason why they deleted it.  Maybe in some way it contrast with their belief.  We are in a forum.  All opinion should be allowed as long as it does not offend them.  Im into bounty campaign, and it affects my performance.  How can I get paid when my posts are deleted?

I have no intentions of trolling you man. you have confused my humor with trolling. I'd vouch for you because I have seen that you are in a messy situation, from one hand you'd tolerate garbage posts thinking that it would be unfair deleting them and from the other hand, if you don't delete them people would say that you are not doing your job. I understand that you are deep in this situation. I can read posts on your section as well you know? I can see the struggle and would vouch for you. whatever you do, I'm on your side.

Note: this is not trolling. I'm very serious.

I'm telling you, delete all the one or two line generic opinions with no substance and no value added to the discussion, it's time to show them farmers and cheaters/garbage posters, this forum is not here to provide only a pay per post opportunity and they should know that by force. [mod-rule].

They are. There's tonnes of different conspiracy theories about them fixing games. This also applies to the moderators of this forum whenever a post is deleted in the eyes of the person who is complaining it's never their lack of understanding of the forums rules, but that of the mods.

90% of cases it's the person complaining that's overlooked the rules or not bothered to read them. In some cases the mod might of made a mistake. So what? It happens I've had moderators apologize for marking a report bad in the past, and they didn't need to do that. Moderators are human too. Let's not forget that they aren't employees either, and volunteer to clean up the mess for all of us to have a more pleasant experience.

Your fine. Even if you make mistakes theymos understands that your just human, and there's always a vetting in process when accepting new responsibilities. Unless, you are abusing your position then I can't see theymos doing anything other than letting you know to improve if you are falling short.

I don't mind being questioned, I am a new mod here and I can make a mistake.  I'm also pretty sure that the man in the big chair is watching what I am doing.  AFAIK theymos takes mod abuse seriously and I believe he is watching the stats he has and other tools to asses the worthiness of his mods.

I think its a little dickish for a month old account to jump to conclusions based on nothing more than 2 posts from a month old account being deleted about a single topic.

And I will say it once again, people love to complain but NO ONE helps.  If the OP really wants to have good discussion in there then help me keep it clean, don't run around answering test questions and report the trash so it can be cleaned up.

A moderator is a moderator, we should know that. A post is deleted by the moderator who fills the post has "violated" a rule. Most OP I suppose, do not know all there the rules on the childboard. So it will be wrong to assume it was deleted for a particular reason. Referees are not questioned by the players in a game.

Most of the time moderators looking to deleted the shit thread which has been raised many times to ask here. If you see some thread on Bitcoin and trading discussion you can find the multiple time same answers from the various people.
I do not know why people not understand the same answers not needed for the same thread from various people.
Then pointless thread which is well known to all and forum members. Those shit threaded are only trash canned.

Not sure why you would say that, I gave a detailed explanation why I delete posts.  If you read it as stung in a wasp's nest then fine, but you asked so I answered, was that not the intent of your OP?


See here you go making assumptions again.  As I already explained it has nothing what so ever to do with agreeing or disagreeing with your opinion.  I don't remember your posts off the top of my head (I delete quite a few posts daily) but because I receive very few reports it's unlikely it was reported but it was deleted directly by me as I checked the section out.


YES PLEASE report those posts.  I can't get every shit post bro, sorry I'm not a bot on here 24/7 so I can make sure that I delete every low/no value post.  Reports would help a lot but sadly I get almost none.  You like the section and want to have real discussions in there then help me keep it clean and report shit posts.

Sadly people come here and bitch about a couple of posts and how much of a cesspool shit hole it is yet I get no help from anyone to try and clean it up...  We have users that want separate political boards because this place is a shit hole, everyone loves to complain but no one will help, so I do what I can when I am online.

How many of your posts have I left (answer, LOTS) I deleted 2 of your posts and you have been here what a month and you come in here making wild accusations without doing the least bit of research. Then continue to make the same assumption even after it was explained to you? 

You are free to say whatever you want in the section but if I see it as a redundant low value post I will delete it (until such time as I am removed as a moderator). 

If you are there for the discussion and become a good regular contributor I will probably give you a bit of slack in the future as I do with other names that I see in there often.  You have only been here less than a month so give it some time.

Believe it or not I actually want the section to have GOOD debates and that requires opposing opinions and good contributors to the section.  Don't try to say I am doing anything because of MY opinion.  I've for the most part stopped posting in the section to avoid the appearance of bias.

Reason's why they are deleting post.

-Redundant reply
-Out of topic reply

Also maybe some of your replies get deleted because the main thread is deleted. If the OP is deleted all of the replies will be vanished automatically.

Can you please add Lord Nicolas Cage to the list

Have a taste buddy... next time if your posts get deleted, you know what to do!!!

I didn't know you cared.

Well it seems that I have stung in a wasp‘s nest ;-)

So am I being right in my assumption that this all just happened bc one of the posters disagreed and hit the report button. A mod just hit delete because it seemed redundant or whatsoever?
Well ok then I should report 80% of the posts I read for either bad english (hardly readable sometimes), just stating random facts or unrelated to the OP‘s question ...

Just for the record, I really try to discuss (that’s why I am mostly in the politics forum). But most people just post stuff to rank up (sadly).

I would like to support what hellfish standard in politics and society board. There will be a time that we didn't understand the way of moderator to moderate the board. Probably it is all because we don't understand the ground in particular section of the forum. The rules to follow according is vital. One main person versus millions of people is literally unfair.
Better to learn, let go and follow the given rules.

If I am not mistaken I talked to you via PM and explained this to you and you are still doing it and asking why its being deleted???

Edit:  Just got to this post!

LOL in the last month or so you have trolled the cunt off me and accused me of being involved in some pretty crazy shit and NOW you will vouch for me...  You make my brain hurt bro I would rather you go back to trolling me!

My personal beliefs are not relevant.  That being said Actmyname is 100% right, and you could not be more wrong about this particular mod (don't know or care what the other mods believe).  On a side note if you really thought I was like that why didn't take 10 minutes to read some of my post history to find out how wrong your whole assumption is?

No one in the P&S section ever needs to worry about offending me.  I give exactly zero fucks what you write.  As long as it conforms to the rules of the forum knock yourself out bro.  If it against forum rules then I will do what is appropriate.


As you can see I will dump posts on either side of the debate.

Now I don't care if the post is "technically" on topic.  If it's the same thing that has been said before than your post offered no value.

I don't want to hear "my post was deleted but another one exactly like it was left".
1)  but but but what aboutism is stupid, just because I didn't catch the other one doesn't mean you can do it as well.
2) I can not catch every low/no value post, some get caught some don't, report the other ones and if I agree I will deal with them.
3)  I try to read as much of the threads as I can (no I can't read every post is every thread sorry) and a post may appear redundant to you but it may offer something I haven't seen, so I leave it.
4) the mountain of shit piles up incredibly fast.

There is a sticky at the top of the P&S board, did you read it before posting there?  With only 300 or so views it seems like people don't read before posting.

Posting in threads that are already LONG makes your post much more likely to redundant an offer no value.

The section is a place for people to come and rank up there alts/farmed/bounty accounts to junior by spamming redundant bullshit.  I am doing what I can to keep as much of it as clean as I can.  If you are honestly involved in a thread I personally give a lot of slack.  If you come by and answer the OP like a question on a test (ya its on topic but redundant as fuck) then I follow the rules of the forum more strictly.

I bet they were one or two lines of generic opinions. don't post those one or two lines of generic opinions if you are participating in a bounty campaign, that is against the rules, because people are taking advantage of this situation. I hereby stand by P & S mod's actions and would vouch for him. he has been a new mod and people are using every chance they get to bash him.

When I do the bashing, I want to voice my concerns and say that what he is doing is wrong, I don't really want him to lose his position as a mod, what I say is constructive criticism.
