Topic: What kind of sarcasm is it? Or censorship? (Read 322 times)

I don't mind that you are complaining about your posts being deleted. You have the right to know. You also have the right to seek advice and try to improve. That part is OK.
But I don't like that in your recent Meta threads you pull down other members, and you are asking why their posts are also not deleted.

Let me tell you a story.
A few years ago, my countries cable provider removed a few channels from its portfolio for one of my neighboring towns. The people there were pissed. The same channels were still available for subscribers in locations 100 km away from that town. My town was among those who could still view the channels.

The townies decided to write a petition to the operator. But their logic was completely flawed. Instead of requesting for the channels to be re-added in the catalog, they requested that the operator removes the same channels in my town as well. Not sure what they expected would happen, but nothing did. They got no sympathy and everyone thought they were assholes for signing such a petition.   

Don't be that guy. I don't know why your posts are getting deleted that often. Maybe you are being targeted by someone or it's just bad luck. But don't request or inquire why the posts of some other members are also not being deleted when yours are. If someone brakes your window with a stone, it's OK to ask for help to repair it. It's OK to ask why it was broken in the first place. But don't take a stone and break your neighbors window or ask why and when it will be shattered as well. 

Hopefully you can figure out what is going with your posts.       

The long and short answer to that is that life (and this forum, including its moderators) isn't fair sometimes, and we're all victims of that unfairness on occasion.  Right now it just seems to be you're the one who's having problems, but having a post deleted while another one that should have been wasn't is something that happens to a lot of us--and there's no use complaining about it IMO.

I also don't think it'll be a long-standing pattern for you or that the mods are against you if that's what you're thinking.

That would be my suggestion as well.  Deleted posts are tiny problems and usually transient as long as you're not a chronic shitposter, which OP doesn't appear to be.  It's just something you're going to have to accept and move on from.

One day, mdayonliner reported up to 200 posts. According to BPIP there are more than 100 000 active users. Imagine only if 0.2% of users report one post each day, it's more than 200 post. Moderators can't just blindly delete reported post, they have to look through them and then make a decision. They aren't 24/7 working there and to be fair number of them is very limited and it has it's explanation. They still handle their job pretty well, they can't make this forum spam free and control what thousands of people post. Usually, moderators post on this forum too and give good advice, my thanks to especially achow101 and gmaxwell.

Also, the reason why your "spam free" posts are deleted is that sometimes threads are deleted too because of some reasons and 2 years ago there was massive cleaning of this forum and a lot of posts were deleted from each user.

Btw agree with you, that post should be deleted but the most hilarious thing is that hilariousandco posted under it

Btw I suggest you to chill out a little bit.

You are right about admins, but staffs (moderators, excluding global moderators) can only handle reports made on the boards (or sub-boards) assigned to them.

Global moderators are allowed to handle reports globally on the forum and Meta is one of places they can handle reports. However it does not correct to say that all reports in Meta are only handled by global moderators. Admins (theymos, Cyrus) can handle reports and I guess staffs can do too.

I have several unhandled reports myself. Give the moderators some time to deal with your reports. You are obviously not the only one who is reporting stuff and it may take some time. A few hours or even some days is nothing. If the post that you reported, is a shitpost the moderators will deal with it sooner or later. Don't worry. There is no need to blame them here.

And regarding the matter, that your own posts are getting deleted: You ever thought about possibility of getting targeted by other users because you are in a well-paid signature campaign and certain people want to take your spot instead? This is an anonymous forum and some people will play hardball to earn a few bucks. Instead of creating posts in which you question the moderators or complaining about their actions you should work on your own post quality.

And most importantly the one thing I have learned on this forum within the last few month: Grow a thicker skin.

I think someone loves to report your post? Why it got deleted when almost all of my post are not? I have never experience deleted post in this month. I am not a quality poster but probably just an average and this is why I think that someone probably likes to report your post recently and always got deleted. We know that MODS do rely on some user especially on busting out shitposters. Do have PM the mods on these so that it will directly reach to them.

Posting in meta about the issue will not help so I guess it is better for you to PM the mods for this matter. Only them can answer you with your problem and if they had time to answer you then that would be great.

I know that you are a quality poster but still even good poster can still have their posts deleted so it is not only you OP with this problem.

Some posts are moderated faster than others after being reported. 24 hours is not much time though. Indeed, some posts are not moderated (deleted) at all even after weeks or months pass. For example, I reported about 100 posts in the Romanian board and they were left unhandled. Furthermore, I have more than 1000 unhandled reports from other boards. They were left unhandled for more than a month, thus I can't even see them in my reports list. I'll never know why they were left unhandled. But I suggest you to wait more than a day though.

There is no moderator dedicated to Meta. So, reports made in Meta are handled by global moderators.

May be this is the last topic I have created in meta regarding this issue. Have you seen the quoted post? I have reported that post yesterday. Do that post have anything to do with my other topic? No definitely. Then why such craps are not deleted while my post is deleted without any reason? Do not you think it's censorship in moderation?

Man you seem to be complaining and opening new threads about mods lately, what's up?
It happens to all of us, imagine if we all decided to open threads complaining about our deleted replies that we thought weren't off-topic and complaints about unhandled reports or reports that were marked as bad. It would be a mess in meta, wouldn't it?

Just take a deep breath and let it go. Next time you would try to put the moderation power to yourself by opening a self-Moderated thread 

Am I being bored to you for creating couple of topics in meta? If so, I am apologise. It has been a pain for me to see deleted post but it seems there are something else too. I'm questioning moderator standards.
Forget the part of my post getting deleted, even my on topic replies here are deleted. None of the mod other than hilariousandco said anything that how they can be deleted.
But in one of my topic, a totally off topic post was posted, I have reported that post yesterday around this time. But that post was not deleted still now. I'm quoting the post here. Please check and put your opinion. In my opinion, it seems there's censorship going on.
This post has nothing at all to do with my topic, then why is still that shitpost off topic is there while a lot of my on topic, spam free posts are deleted? Anyone censoring the moderation?
Also, who are in response of moderating meta board?
