Thread Name: BS: Closed threads & deleted posts.
Subject: RE: BS: Closed threads & deleted posts.
An anonymous 'moderator' tells our forum that:

You can be sure I would never consider explaining each one. No- it is not part of the job to do so.

Perhaps this is the same anonymous 'moderator' who would never consider it as part of the job to follow the criteria that the current Chief of the Mudcat Editing team assures our froum to be the case - in the following.

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.
-Joe Offer-


What is the point of such assurances if they are seen to be worthless and not to be honoured by our 'moderators'?

And what is the point of having critera - if it is seen to be repeatedly ignored?

And what is the point of being seen to impose special posting restrictions on one individual poster - for bringing this reality to our forum's attention - to enable it to be openly discussed?

And what is the point of encouraging posters to keep trying pretend that our forum (and its moderation') is anything other than we can all plainly see it is?

Is anyone going to confirm seeing or deleting the recent thread and all its posts - referred to earlier - which has now vanished without trace or explanation?

Or is our forum expected to just go along with the pretence that this thread never existed? If so - to what possible purpose?
