Donny - posts deleted

Post by Kingswood »

This is the third time I post this question.

Why have votes been deleted - including mine? How many times do I need to re-write?

We;re all frustrated enough after a loss; no need to add to it.

Donny - if I wanted to contact you by PM I would have done so.

But no. I'd actually prefer to discuss this out in the open, as it affects a lot of users.

You volunteer to do this, fair enough. But that's doesn't mean you can't accept accountability. You more than anyone are aware of how many complaints are received against your moderating style. It is extremely frustrating as posters to continually deal with moved and merged threads, deleted posts etc...

I for one would put my vote in for no moderation rather than over moderation.

Its bloody annoying.

And its quite simple

Don't delete posts unless they break rules (as far as i'm aware, none of the five posts you deleted in the votes thread broke any rules)

Perhaps you should read or re-read The Rules (atop every page).

It shouldn't take too much thinking on your part to understand things were pretty hectic during the last quarter and finish of our game.

Posts were deleted from the votes topic that John Wren opened (instead of using a bit of patience for the already started but locked GB thread). You could simply have reposted your vote instead of going off like a prima donna.

Spare me the bullshit re. 'complaints abvout my moderating style'.

And, yes, your 5 posts all broke the rules.
Donny.

It's a game. Enjoy it. :D

Not my five posts, but everyone elses.

Instead of using a bit of logic and MOVED the posts to the correct thread - you deleted them with no explanations.

You may see it as minor (hence your Prima Donna comment) - however this is not an isolated incident Donny. Every week there's a fresh batch of complaints about the way you moderate.

Instead of YOU always acting high & mighty and defending - why not consider for a change that there may be some room for improvement in how you do things.
