Why did my thread get deleted?
- Thread starter WDWVolFan
- Start date
Probably because those sites can promote themselves....
Many aren't....
And as Martin suggested, always best to check with the moderators first.

Although that is good advice, I really feel that if a moderator is going to delete someones post, they should, at the very least, tell them why. They have the right to have whatever they want on this board, but, not everyone knows the rules in the fine tuned sense.
The mods don't owe us anything....

I know that, but, unless someone knows why they were deleted, it can easily be repeated, innocently. And I disagree, the mods are busy people and they do have a lot of area to cover, but, when something as drastic as a deleted thread happens, it seems that a simple "Promoting another site is prohibited" would be a service that would promote good customer service and not just dismiss it as, if they want to know they can always start another thread asking why and then we can delete that too. It just courtesy and good public relations. I'm not bad mouthing the mods, I am merely suggesting that there might be a better way.
Breaking the rules, intentional or not, is breaking the rules.

The way to handle this is not to start another thread asking why. The terms and rules specifically say 10. If you have a problem with or question about a moderator’s decision, contact the moderator privately or submit a message through the contact system. Posts or topics discussing moderator actions will be removed.

Dammit, and I was just about to promote my new play, opening in Phoenix, Arizona this coming April. Oh, well. Off to Facebook I go.
Everyone should know the rules. Read the small print. Same as you would in the real world before signing up to a service. They're there for anyone to read.

I have always thought the moderators on this site have their own secret agenda nine times out of ten they don't seem to care whats going on. You could be mean rude and even make crude jokes and no moderator will stop you.

The mods here do an awesome job, but they can't read every post in every thread every day. So if a post offends you please hit the report button to call their attention to it. I've done that a number of times.

Their secret agenda of promoting rudeness on the internet seems to be working. I've noticed people being a little rude on one or two other sites.
