Thread Name: BS: Deleted posts & closed threads
Subject: RE: BS: Deleted posts & closed threads
You may judge me to be a moron and to therefore have no rights and agree totally that anonymous fellow posters should close threads, my posts should be deleted and subject to all forms imposed censorship with no indication or explanation.

But what of other posters?

Recently posts from (at least) two other posters were also deleted along with mine (in addition to the entire threads that were also closed). These were not offensive posts and neither of these posters would be generally considered as morons.

One of them later indicated that they were OK with this - having seen the explanation provided by the Chief of the Mudcat Editing Team as to why their post was deleted and after I had brought this fact to their attention. They did not seem to care that I or others may not be not be OK with this treatment - but that it a matter for them.

But if the Chief of the Mudcat Editing Team has his way - in this new stepped up censorship move (justified as being what Mudcatters want) - there would have been no indication that censorship action had been imposed nor any explanation given as to the reasons.

Can all forms of imposed censorship actions in future be indicated and a brief explanation provided?
