Topic: Some of the threads are not moderated properly... - page 2. (Read 1808 times)

I rarely moderate posts in the marketplace or it's child boards, besides taking out the trash. I think it's best to let the community police itself in those matters with minimal interference from the moderators.

And yes, it is more or less on topic, certainly not enough to warrant censoring him. Ignore button, learn it, love it, use it.

Its subjective as to what is removed and what stays, determined by the local mod of the section. Mods are given very basic guidelines, and then they detirmine the rules for their board. If they are tyranical, they get complaints and fired, if they are too soft, they get fired. As long as they stay consistent with their own definitions of what is to be removed and what isn't, thats how it works.

That being said, it is impossible for mods to search through every post in every thread. If you have a problem with a post, report it. There is far too many posts and threads for any person to go through in single day, nor do the moderators feel the need to watch everything. If I see stuff thats slightly off topic, or offensive (to a certain degree of course) I tend not to bother with it unless someone reports it.

What to take away from this, is "kinda on topic" is subjective. While if that post was made in Phantastisch's section, they may not do anything about it, because they see it as kind of on topic. However another moderator may have a different opinion, and see it as not on topic at all, and of those that don't see it as on topic, they may only remove it if you request it moved, or they may remove it without you asking, really up to the moderator themself. 

Thanks CIYAM Open and JackJack, I understand your point, but...

Phantastisch, I appreciate your reply here, still what you said, does not make too much sense for me. 

Kinda on-topic you say?   The thread is not about me, and his comment was not connected in any way to what was being said there.

Look: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.3460885

It is not a matter of liking or not liking, it is a matter of belonging there or not.



As to Rupture and Bullionado, who are you to judge so fast what is and what is not ponzi scheme? 

This

MPOE-PR is kinda on-topic with this since he/she is talking about you in your thread and this is usually fine.
You may not like what he/she is saying but that is no reason to get it removed.

Then maybe you should consider not promoting ponzi schemes

I guess you'll have to start self-moderating.

Can't speak for the mods but I would avoid having any interaction with the forum trolls.

Try using the "ignore" feature - although not perfect it does at least give you some control over what you read.

Please look here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.3464243 at the comment from this forum "hero" member MPOE-PR
and here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.3460885

I had not answered him, for I did not want to pollute with dirty comments another thread, (he's done that repeatedly to me before...) so I clicked on "Report to moderator" and... nothing happened, no moderator deleted these comments...

Many times previously, in my main thread (the one she linked to) when I tried to fight back, many of my comments were deleted.  Please just look at my message history:    


and I was receiving such messages:

A reply of yours, quoted below, was deleted by a Bitcoin Forum moderator. Posts are most frequently deleted because they are off-topic, though they can also be deleted for other reasons. In the future, please avoid posting things that need to be deleted.

This is too much for my taste gweedo, I reported you to a moderator.   Some things should not be accepted in a civilized public forum, let's see if I am right... [/quote]

Nope, I was not right, his extremely rude comment stayed and my was deleted...


Later on I did my best to avoid empty discussions and occasionally, when I spotted  a completely out of place, rude comment, I was clicking on "Report to the moderator", but never anything was done about it, my average with correctly reporting is very low (and is getting lower with every click, for no one reacts on it...)

I believed that if a comment is completely off topic and if someone reports it, it will get deleted by a moderator.


I know, this is a huge forum and moderators must be very busy here, but still so many of my comments were deleted previously, so why all of MPOE-PR stay?
