Carmen and Ghostclown

[Robotam]

First of all, I am posting all this with admin Saikar's permission.
Half of this month has passed and I've noticed that a lot of posts and treads are dissapearing. Where does these threads and posts go? And who is responsible?

I know that being a moderator for a lot of forums ain't the easiest thing. And for the members it's not always a respectable job either, you get complains day in and day out because you're trying to do your job right. But what's going on now is far from right. And I am directing this mostly to you, Ghostclown and Carmen.

I've done some research. Do anyone have a clue how many mod actions there has been just this month? 72 to be precisely.
Exactly 40 of these are carmen's deleting threads and posts actions. And Ghostclown has deleted 17 posts and threads. Razor deleted only 3, I believe FFL deleted 2 and Kijuki deleted 1 (his own). If you don't believe me, check the logfile and see for yourselfes.

Why do you think we have the junkbin forum? Have you forgotten about it? Or is it that it's a lot easier to just press the delete button?
Alex has said many times that deleting posts and threads, that's just something we do when we absolutely needs it.
And the posts you've deleted aren't things that had to be deleted.
I'll give you two examples:

Date: Mon 13 Mar 2006, 08:23 pm
Mod: GhostClown (4681)
Post owner: Meiscool (17112)
Action: deletepost
Thread: The Story of Palis- New screenshots added (post) (221183)
Forum: Games (11)

Now, I know what this post was.

Me: That's not the same chipset, nor is that a temple.

Meiscool: I hate you now.

As usual Meiscool is using his sarcasm because I happen to pwn him. But do you think that really had to be deleted? It's not like it was offending me or anything.

Example two:

Date: Mon 13 Mar 2006, 12:36 pm
Mod: carmen (2799)
Post owner: Archem2 (16720)
Action: deletethread
Thread: Oddness. (15924)
Forum: All of all! (12)

In this thread Archem was giving us a Half-life screenshot where we were to guess what was wrong with it.
Now, we weren't even done discussing about it untill it got deleted. Archem never confirmed everything, and even if he would it should be locked and not deleted. But we still had a lot to talk about when it suddenly just wasn't there anymore.

I can't recall any of my posts getting deleted, but I know I'd be pissed if they did. And I am actually already pissed because some of these things I end up wasting my time looking for.

I want to know if I'm the only one who've noticed this.
Or if anyone agrees with me that this is wrong.
So please, share your opinions.

I actually didn't notice that, but now that you mention, yeah, some threads are just going missing..

Those are dumbass posts, and I don't think anybody wants this to turn into a dumbass forum.

Dumbass or not itīs not your opinion thatīll tell the forum's will. Neither Carmenīs or GCīs. If the threads are deceased by flame and spam itīs ok to lock or even delete (if absurd). Otherwise, having in sight the shown examples of the mod's acts, theyīre just abusing theyīre power. And obviously, if Sai allowed this to be posted, he agrees with Robotam.

Excelent point Robotam.

Wha-? Are we going to rate posts with a stupidity level now?
That's what is stupid. This forum is called all of all after all.
If you don't want bussiness with something you ignore it instead of deleting it.

Excelent point Robotam.

That's not what a moderator does. They have to act by their best judgement. This isn't a democracy.

Yeah Robotam, some threads are not worth reading. But how the hell are you supposed to tell that until you've already wasted your time?

[Snake Eater]

yeah, thats pretty lame. I really didn't notice it was happening THAT much, though...

[Robotam]

Would it kill you to read something that is not of your interest?
Like Warxe once said to me, not everyone is you. It might be interesting to some.

[Leon_1990]

if I recall correctly....this has been going on for quite a while longer than stated...

A pocket of intestinal gas might be interesting to a proctologist. That doesn't mean you can fart at people on the street.

My thoughts exacly. If this' really going on the Mods are acting like the forum owners, because theyīre deciding whatever pleases them to be present...

Letīs wait for their pronunciation.

Yes, it has. Probably since the beginning of this year.

And Mister, what you're refering to is just crazy. `XP
I don't think any threads disgusts you, if so I'm not sure what you're doing in forum like this. I mean, it's not like you can expect any less from a board like charas.

I agree.

[shadus]

Boy this theard has some history in it's short life.lol.

[Desimodontidae]

That's why they're the admins and you're not. They have been entrusted to make wise descisions that benifit the good of the forum.
