Urban Hat€monger ?

I think we're starting to get the hang of it.

The admins have only interfered once since I signed up, and it was for something truly inappropriate. I doubt they'd ever even blink at 95% of our postings.

Urban Hat€monger ?

And last week

Urban Hat€monger ?

Some """Pornographic"""" posts were removed from 'The Negative Effects of Porn' thread ironically.

And not from the NSFW thread, where we post full nudity under spoilers?

Obviously they were deleted, but what was the gist of these posts?

A few little things about this thread have me confused. Personally I think we should feel free to express ourselves here but I'd also expect users to understand that there are often cases where, for whatever reason, content will be deleted.

It's often deleted for reasons of personal insult but we also have to consider potential offense to other users (and please remember guests as well), we have to consider preserving a thread that has become derailed from its original OP which again is simply considering those users who would want to visit that thread to read and discuss the original OP and we wouldnt be doing our job properly if that thread was cluttered with huge amounts of content that had nothing to do with it, and also there are reasons such as keeping the content strictlly in line with our rules and guidelines and if we dont, then yes, we may get a slap on the wrist from the admins. Basically if the admins arent happy, this site could suffer or cease to exist. I'd delete anything I felt cause be a serious concern.

Basically my point is your post could have been deleted for several reasons, and sometimes the fact it was banter between friends doesn't necessarily mean it was a mistake to delete it. It's probably natural to feel offended when you see a post you made, or a post that was directed at you, has been deleted. It's probably natural to feel that a mod has made a decision on your behalf that what you posted was offensive or harmful, but these are not the only reasons we would have to delete a post.

Now, I am not offering any of these things as an explanation for why the posts detailed in this thread have been deleted. The thing is, I can't do that, and no mod can do that, because nobody has shared with us what the posts were, which forum they were in, which threads they were in etc. We can't have a look for you without this information really. I'm just giving my own, personal point of view and offering suggestions that you may not have previously considered, in hope that you understand a little better about how we may operate when it comes to deleting certain content.

What I can do is ask you to PM me if you would like to share this information and I will have a look. I might not be able to offer an explanation for you as to why they were deleted, as I may not have been the one to delete it. But I will at least have a look for you, if its something you feel this concerned about.
