So I Noticed...
 

The Tournament of Bands thread has mysteriously vanished. Care to explain why?

wow - this is getting a bit much.

posh and i have a little tiff - hey we're still buddies - and the whole thread not only stops but get erased? that seems a bit severe to me.

who is moderating this place - miss manners???

Maybe it was moved to the music forum...I'll check


EDIT: Well, I don't see it, but there could have been an accident...I'm sorry, I don't have any information about this...There must be a reasonable explanation though.

I didn't see it there...


That would be MAJOR bullshit. You can delete posts if you're a mod who thinks nobody can argue, (which is also bullshit, free speech be damned let's delete all the arguments!) but to delete somebody's whole fucking tourney?



I'd rather have all the spam (I know you're all trying mods but it seems impossible to get rid of it all) than over moderation like this. Don't give me some "they're trying their best" speech either, I understood that with the piracy thing but this time it's just abuse of power. Or maybe the thread's still there and I'm jumping to a conclusion.

The last thing I read on there was YOU telling the mods to feel free to delete the thread. That could be why it disappeared.

It truly could have been a mistake...It takes a while to get used to these tools...AMK made mistakes the ENTIRE time she was a mod...tried to take out posts and deleted whole threads, MULTIPLE times...That's where our original picture thread went...It was a HUGE thread.

I don't know what happened, but please give them the benefit of the doubt and allow them to explain.

Ah...A clue...Thanks, Margie love :)

No problem :D

Yes, could be a mistake. But it's getting to where we all feel as if any argument or thread with a semi-questionable subject, could get it erased or someone banned. It would possibly be tolerable and easier forgiven, if it weren't so often and nonsensical as of late. I mean seriously, how many of these "Where did it go?" threads have there been in this past week?

That's my two cents. Now, back to work on my site and organizing.

Hmmm. I'm not sure about this. Could be that they listened to Posher, or that they're testing out their new found power. Or a mistake. I don't know.

Maybe if the Mod who did it just says why. As Cheebs said in Bwind's thread, it's a lack of communication that causes problems.

Posh...we've had our differences in the past, but I really thought you were beyond this kind of thing these days.

Like HF said: you ASKED the mods to delete the thread. Now you start a thread, calling them out because it actually got deleted?

Wow.

Well, he said he would continue to do it, just to spite Zero. They probably didn't know if he was playing around or not.

Not to mention a well known dislike for a few of our mods...

it just seems like a lot of this sort of thing lately. . . maybe it is just . . . i don't know

Don't judge me. I said I would continue it just a few posts after. I may not be 100% innocent here but even I would have had the common knowledge to ASK the person if they were serious or not.


@MM. Thanks...

Welcome baby.

Anyway, yes there is an issue. Shit has happened so let's not point fingers. Whoever deleted things etc etc whatever happened, knows they were wrong, it's been pointed out and will most likely not happen again.

All those opposed to posher continuing his tourney?

I wasn't the one who deleted it- but I was told it was deleted because Posh asked for it to be deleted.

I've been a mod on forums before, you don't fuck with something unless you know what it does. There was no need to move it out of general or change it at all so a mistake would have only happened if the mod was screwing with something they shouldn't have. I don't dislike ANY of the mods and I think you know that. :)

And shortly after changed his mind.

Impulse>Zealous.

"Shoot me."

*bang*

"Nevermind, I want to live."

I don't think this one can really be blamed on the mods. Just a misunderstanding.

This..... This is why I love you.

:)

I was hoping you wouldn't take it to heart.
Anyway, I for one enjoy(ed) the band tournament and hope it can continue.

The chinese goverment.

So why is Ferret still alive?

Coz he's a pleaser. ;)

That just sounds so dirty.

hahahahahaha..
this is funny.
I mean ..how many of us have thrown a tantrum and demanded something be done by the mods.?
And seriously ..how many mods truly acted upon it.?

none..zilch..

because they knew that once again, one of the members is shitty and will be all better tomorrow, so just ignore the request.


:p

Em wondering if this is the reason why so many members are disappearing from the forum.
I came in the other night n there were only 3 online.
Maybe it was just my time zone thingy. 'shrug'

And this is becoming a very typical response- blame the mods if they do nothing AND blame them if they do something.

no offense intended but its only the mods that do have the powers to chop and change things around.

Just the pompous mods.

Y'know what? Don't ever PM me asking for advice again.

What if it pertains to the well being of this forum?

*tiptoes back out of thread.*

Ah, there's something heartwarming about coming over to a thread and seeing people talking about you being murdered by the Chinese.

But, I will echo Miss Macabre's sentiments in that this whole thing has been blown out of proportion.

Like I said, over moderation would be a problem if it happened and in this case I don't think it happened at all. Oh, and NE, I think you knew how mods were treated before accepting the position didn't you?

what's so funny bout peace love & understanding

Christ this place is fucked sometimes.
