Hiya Mods

[Cheese]

I'd like the few posts I made in Jonno's thread in The Drawing Room restored in some way please.

He can have his posts deleted for all I care but I didn't give him permission to have mine censored. I hope that others who posted in that thread feel the same way.

I could see Jonno's pont for asking for it to be deleted, and tbh I have no problems with it gone but I would have liked to have been asked for my approval first. As it was I had to pm RF to find out what had happened

[Cheese]

He can have a thread closed for all I care.

Deleting people's posts because you didn't get your own way is just crap. Absolute crap.

We're talking a lot of posts as well, over 100.

No rule breaking went on in them either, if someone wants to act like an idiot that is up to them, but why should they be given an effective clean sheet to do it again?

Anothing Midmigh Deletetion Is like a game...where will they strike next

Atleast an "automated" pm stating that your post has been moved or deleted would be appreciated (especially for new members

You know you'll never get a reply.
why bother.


@15% that is a good idea. it should be a built in feature of IPB and VB and PHPBB and all them forums.

Probably.

But it would be wrong to deny my request, I'm just asking for my posts to be reinstated. Why should Jonno be allowed to delete people's posts?

Personal opinion here:

If a guy makes a thread, he can have the thread moved to trash
if he wants to. This has been done before too, with not much of a fuss.
Its not on the rules, yet, should it be? I dont know, it has worked ok this far,
maybe things need to be clarified more. ie. discussions about it.

Why we've done this in the past?
To make the place somewhat more confortable.
It seems Jonno didnt like the way the thread turned into, he wanted it removed.
Same things has done before, by other authors. As im aware, this has not
been abused before, so to speak.
Is it abused in this case?

Sometimes threads been locked if a non-author reports it too,
if its been offensive somehow. And thats ok by me, regardless what I may think.

The mod who moved it can take care of this, Im somewhere between making my mind about this. A tricksy one this is.


I've opened a discussion about this on Team Chat thought...



edit:
clarity about "imo"
