    Default Censoring on the forum

    I wonder if anyone else has their posts deleted without explanation.
    I posted to advise a member that his joke could be construed as religious intolerance and such jokes can cause infractions...because it happened to me and I wanted to warn. I also said I thought his joke funny.
    Within an hour my post was missing.
    I assumed there is a glitch and advised admin and copy/pasted the original.
    Within seconds it also disappeared without any explanation.

    Has this happened to anyone else or does the glitch maybe just concern my posts?

    I think you are heading for trouble with this thread. Just PM one of the mods and ask.

    I prefer to be open with my posts so there is clarity, no ambiguity, no conspiracy and fairness.

    I heard many stories that some use the PM system to gang up on other members then wait for the result of infracting the victim...I don't belong to that membership.

    That happened to me,

    Just be careful, because all issues like this the mods like a PM not an open discussion.

    I fully agree with your open posting idea, but I am not convinced it will be accepted by all,,, :-)

    Well Jim69...it didn't take long for Kingwilly to redbrick me and quote "They dont want that though. Besides you are questioning the Grand Poobah!"

    I think I make my point in #3 above, although...given his quote above.... I don't know why the brick was red and not green

    ps wouldn't it be great if someone could fix the smileys.

    Quote from Bad_azz...'It has happened to me too...'

    That's interesting B_A because I note...your smileys don't work either! Discrimination, punishment or create the illusion we don't have humour?

    @ Jim69 and your signature....sadly, I'm no Einstein but, at one point, I did work for Maggie Thatcher....'The Iron Lady'.

    Moderators' note:

    The Posting Guidelines provide the framework for the forum, including specific matters that are subject to sanction. Where the guidelines do not address an issue the owner of the forum has delegated moderators to make the call. Posts that are off topic/do not add value to a thread, mini or back seat mod, are clearly intended to bait or insult other forum users, or raise issues of moderation already dealt with by PM may well be summarily deleted. As jim69 correctly points out any issues with this should be communicated to a moderator by PM. If a user feels he has been unfairly moderated further review is available via email to[email protected]. This thread is closed.
