You may have missed the following editing comment as it was inserted into an existing post (where no editing action did in fact take place) and did not refresh the thread.

The Shambles complaint messages have been more-or-less confined to one thread at a time for several months now. Most posts of GUESTS who refuse to use a name are now being deleted, whether the posts are harmful or innocuous. If you don't want to be deleted, all you have to do is use a consistent name.
-Joe Offer-

And if you don't want to be deleted and you don't wish to use a consistent name and you still wish to post only to judge and abuse your fellow posters - then become an anonymous 'moderator'.

Then you can not only post and complain anywhere and about who you wish - you can do this both conventional posts which refresh the thread or in inserted red editing comments which do not.

And you can 'silently delete' the posts of others. And be allowed to pretend that all this online bullying is being done to enable free and open discussion.

When the word 'complaints' is used by the current Chief of the Mudcat Editing Team - it now appears to mean any freely expressed view that he does not agree with.

And for which 'crime' the poster concerned will be seen to be openly abused by the current Chief of the Mudcat Editing team, certain other favoured posters will be seen to be encouraged by him to post the most offensive abuse and then site's owner will then be seen to ignore a formal complaint made about this and them start a thread publicly stating that the complaining posters has been asked to leave.

Perhaps it is time for all posters to address the reality of this sad situation (hopefully in this thread- rather than be expected to continue to pretend that our forum has not become what it clearly has?
