Thread Name: BS: Closed threads & deleted posts.
Subject: RE: BS: Closed threads & deleted posts.
Well, since you, shambles, know when you've been cut, then presumably others do, too.

Well, I don't always know (but I do try and find out). But that is exactly why I am asking for all editing actions to be recorded by editing comments (and for all editing comments to be limited to where some form of editing action has taken place). So if a poster did not see their post and did not see an editing comment in its place - they would know there was another explanation - other than censorship.

So who else knows they've been edited out?

Nor does anyone else always know. The posters I listed who posted to the two threads which were silently deleted know and Wolfgang does - as he posted to the one that has vanished without trace - but he is not telling.

Ivor perhaps you could explain where you are going with this approach?

Are you suggesting that all the unfairness and double standards undertaken by our 'moderators', which I have demonstrated in this thread would be acceptable if it were limited to just one individual (even when it is clear that it is not so limited)?

As many of those who post in support of our 'moderators' (assuming they are not themselves 'moderators') to say 'we' like it - are really just saying that they like this unfairness not because they agree with unfairness but because they are not subjected to it. Is that the point you are making too?

Or do agree that ALL posters should be seen to be treated equally by our 'moderators'.
