Question for the Moderators

Discussion in 'Feedback & Suggestions' started by gringopistolero, Feb 16, 2010.

  1. I was just wondering if it was common practice on this site to delete people's posts without some kind of reason or explanation.

    I was just answering a post to me by Joey & Zoey and I notice that my post as well as hers were both deleted.

    I don't mind that a post of mine is deleted however I sure would like to know why so that if I broke some kind of rule I can take note of it and not repeat the same mistake. I think that would be the fair thing to do.

    Thanks for your attention.

    if a post is deleted, there should be a reason shown...got a link to the thread in question? and i will see what i can find
     
  3. I believe it was in the post about "vomit". Joey remarked about my comment regarding the spikes on her dogs collar and I gave my reasons why I was not particular to them after advising her to slow down a bit with her dog and work up on the excersize.

    I stated that I had replied to that there because the post where she had shown her dog with the collar had been closed, only to later be reopened after she showed a picture of herself and eveyone suddenly stopped commenting on the collar and got to work on hitting on her lol.

    It's no big deal though Rally don't bother with it, just let me know if I broke some rule or something so I won't do it again. I did feel however that I have shown everyone respect on all my posts as best I could so my curiosity got the better of me.

    Thanks for your reply just the same.

    ahah- well i think i found it. there was a reason stated being that it was off topic discussion. Old Timer is the one who deleted it- if you would like his explanation, simply pm him your query. and for what its worth- if you need to continue something from a different thread- best to just take it to PM's instead of off topic posts ( so the threads dont get tooooo cluttered)

    as i stated- when a post is deleted a reason is left behind.
    posts are done in whats called a "soft delete" -meaning that the post is not viewable to the members, but moderators can still view it.
    as far as multiple threads on the same subject- we try to condense as much as we can. it has nothing to do w/ liking or disliking a poster-its to keep the ol bandwith down. there is no need to have multiple threads on the same subject. if I am the one who closes such a thread, i will link to one of the other threads pertaining to the subject ( i.e continue the established thread instead of starting a new one)
    again, it has nothing to do w/ playing favorites

    yea im guessing that was kind of the point? to have folks talk bulldogs here
    and folks to talk rescues there, who knows just a guess
    i like them both for what they have to offer.

    both are good, definately
    it's just that on PBC they want us to sugarcoat it a little more... ;)

  19. Thanks Rally and sorry to have caused any ruckus, it was not my intention. I understand perfectly about the off-topic post and I have no problem with that. I will be sure that it doesn't happen again so once again thanks for the explanation. Oldtymer next time when you do that you should just say to me,, hey dickhead you're off topic" and I will get the message lol.

    Won't happen again, sorry about this post I just had to know.

    Well reason I deleted it was to keep that thread on topic.

    That in my opinion was a thread for her asking why her dog was throwing up, I figured since the other thread was still open might as well just put the collar issue there so the threads stay on topic.

    Sorry if it rubbed you the wrong way, But no harm intended.
