unfair post removal

[greekmule]

I checked the CD-charting thread today and found out that 3 posts i made yesterday were deleted.

In these posts I was pointing out how world wide sales are far more important than american sales and how gnr fans should focus on the amazing music Axl and the band

gave us and not on the lack of promotion. In addition I expressed my opinion that the quality of music is far more important than gnr dominating the charts.

I expressed my honest opinion which at the same time was supportive of axl and the band. Can a mod please explain why my posts got deleted?

Yeah, most of my posts get deleted. Only my non-g'nr posts remain lol. 

I posted something in the jungle in say something about the poster above you and it got removed cause we started talking about Axl.

Haha. Bunch of clowns. This place really isn't fit nowadays. Love how ye keep me out of the public eye though. It really is funny.

Ah, can someone pm me a rough idea of what will be deleted from me? I'd hate to lose a big one in the Jungle somewhere. Thanks in advance...

Because suddenly the thread was about USA vs the rest of the world!

"Our country is better than yours".

To improve the situation I propose something used on a couple of other forums I frequent.

When it comes to single post deletions (which of course is the only thing that should happen as thread deletion is rarely a good alternative to locking or moving), instead of just having the post disappear why not replace the content of the post with a badge informing of the general reason for the deletion e.g. rules violation, unacceptable behavior/manners or off topic post. Those three probably cover most cases and guide all members to a more acceptable behavior and increase the transparency in moderation of the forum.

I could see it improving things. A lot.

well actually it was not about that. I only mentioned that world wide sales (which include the US) are more important than US sales alone. But anyway thanks for responding

[jarmo]

I explained it to you, and it's not good enough.


A lose - lose situation for me!
