Power Trip
« on: May 27, 2007, 03:09:16 AM »

Just curious why my thread was deleted? 

"Name that YoYo"....

I was kind of enjoying talking with the community...

It is pretty funny when and why some threads are pulled....usually for a pretty lame reason...god forbid we actually have a free flowing conversation...(and I don't mean profanity, that gets pulled for a good reason, I mean the ones pulled for ideas or not being "yo-yo related enough"...though the board is loaded with stuff that say's nyyr all over the place...basicly if it makes the moderator uncomfortable... than see-ya..

It's back now. I didn't realize it was pulled. However, I've noticed previously that threads, and all posts in them, have been entirely removed from existence with no notice or explanation given whatsoever. I don't think this is a good idea. Perhaps modifying/deleting individual posts then PMing the posters would work better. I know it does on the other forums I visit.

Posting here is a privilege and a courtesy, not a right.

This is Pat, Weber, Amy, and Tim's house...and their rules. If you don't like it, then don't post.

Same as all the other yo-yo boards.

It's not Steve's job to post rules. Steve's just a member here. But he is right, he knows what he's talking about.

I don't think he was asking Steve to post rules. He was just saying, if we are supposed to follow a set of rules, then such a set should be defined.

Quite so. Perhaps I should reword it.

It's good form on any board (yoyo-related or not) to expunge spam and clearly offensive posts, but I'm inclined to believe that suddenly and completely eliminating a whole thread that's not breaking any (known) rules is a bit over the top and doesn't really foster a sense of trust in the moderators' judgment.

I dont know what was even removed please inform me, but i was upset that one of my posts was moved to another board when it was clearly for general talk or better yet OFF TOPIC but we dont have a board for this stuff which is causing a lot of problems.

Deleting threads is lame...  tickedoff I don't know if I would continue to even read a bbs/forum that does that stuff.

If a thread is out of control lock it.  temp ban or warn the user and ask the user edit the bad parts preferably without deleting the context.

and FYI when a webmaster starts editing or deleting content it can make the owner of the bbs/forum legally liable in certain situations for anything posted by a user if it is left on the forum... you open yourself up to additional legal obligations when you do this...  PLEASE talk to your legal dude before you make this a habit or a policy....

Just my 2 worthless cents.

And for the record I love yoyonation and it is currently the ONLY place I by from.
