It is pretty obvious from the example that you posted that nobody cares. Autolycus was just asking a question. He did not seem overly upset.

"Again IF I'm right, all that's required is to post sensibly (?!),interestingly (?!), vaguely to the point, without pointless abuse, or libel."

In answer to the above, this poster and our forum was given the following assurance by the current chief of the Mudcat Editing Team. Which they and our forum may well have taken some comfort from.

No, nothing you've posted has been deleted. It takes quite a bit to warrant deletion - direct attacks on people, racism, stalking, or frequent multiple posts of the same messages.

The fact remains that if, very shortly after reading this assurance - this poster had contributed anything at all to the following thread Winona Ryder's birthday thread(s) - their posts, along with all others would have been 'silently deleted' without the current Chief of the Mudcat Editing Team even being aware that such action had been imposed.

I have seen nothing since this latest incident that reassures me that any action is being taken to prevent this from happening yet again.

Nor any evidence that our 'moderators' will now take any more notice of any so-called and varying 'critera' laid down by the current Chief of the Mudcat Editing Team - than our forum should take of any public assurance given by the current Chief of the Mudcat Editing Team.

Who may well be trying to be fair - but is now plainly not seen to have any control over the actions of his team - who are seen to openly ignore his assurances and critera. And more importantly - there is no indication given to our forum of any responsibility being taken or that anything will change as a result....................

The current Chief of the Mudcat Editing teams seems to expect to be shown gratitude by our forum for being seen to not only be unaware of the actions of his anonymous team - let alone in control of their actions.

I suggest that the posters to our forum are the important ones and that their contributions deserve to be seen to be better respected and protected than they currently are.
