Title: where is my post?
Post by: luciano on Fri 10 Jul 2009 06:46:02
My post about The Robotz (yesterday)

seems it was deleted . why?
No PM or e-mail was sent to explain this undemocratic act...
Why?

Moderator, are you an dictator?
   
Its a shame, if my act has violated any rule you should have warned me. a link to "forum rules" must be visible in this case.

Hey Skids, this place used to be much better once.

I deleted your post, reason it was in the wrong section, you have been a member for nearly two years and you should have known better.

None of the Moderator's are dictators, and your words are a bit harsh.

Hey Luciano, this place is tops! I have seen kindness, tolerance and helpfulness to all folks from all folks in these forums. When I read your post, my first thought of a possible reply was "Get nicked ya loser!" but in the usual good form of the moderators here, the posted reply was much more placid and explanatory. Go Newrace you good thing!

How would you even know this? You have only made 5 posts. Presumably only 3 before this one. You haven't even enabled access to the areas where all the goodies are yet.

Rules? Why do you need rules? It seems the rest of us don't need rules. However, I also had a post deleted once when I was a newbie but it was not because of a lack of rules. It was because I posted the most stupid comment ever in reply to a post about a song in the "Help me identify this" forum :D. I didn't even know how to follow a link to listen to the sample posted and I am not even going to repeat my proffered idea of what the song was :-[.

So yes, newbies make mistakes but we don't come back with our next post all belligerent and bellicose.

The only thing I do is correct people's spelling mistakes. Newrace,

Great reply Forrykook, well done Mate - Karma point coming your way.

Luciano, i agree that perhaps there may be no 'Forum Rules' stickied in a prominent place, but i agree with Forrykook that you should at least give a forum a chance before you criticise it. You will ALWAYS find some friendly help here from the Ausrockers, and there's more to see if you get involved.  :)

Yeah Kevin I agree. Fancy coming on here and having a big whinge without even getting ten posts up and then disappearing again. *Forrykook visualises holding thumb and forefinger in an L shape to forehead and saying LOSER

This thread provides a lot of insight into the running of this forum, and most other forums could use it as an example. Post in the wrong place and get deleted - brilliant. Saves everone's time and keeps the place tidy and easy to navigate.

But I will be saving any future posts in another document so that I can re-post them over and over again in other wrong places after their deletion, without having to re-type them. ;D

just out of mere curiosity, did anyone find out who the robotz were.

Not really a winge, and not entirely relevant (but this seemed like the most likely thread to reply to):

I noticed that I am only credited with 11 posts, but there are 28 accessible posts listed in my profile.  Have I been punished?  I know I haven't posted recently.  Mostly I have just dropped by, read a few things, and left.  I'd hate to think I am in the bad books here.

I'm not sure kushiro, but I think there is some sort of mechanism in place on this board that reduces the post count of inactive or infrequent posters. I've noticed the same thing with a couple of other members who don't visit all that often. It's probably a housekeeping thingy, but one of the admin team would be able to shed some light on this.
