Re: A reply of yours, quoted below, was deleted by a Bitcoin Forum moderator.
- username of a moderator who made the deletion (for an easier contact),
This probably isn't a good idea, since it would undoubtedly cause a flooding of moderators' inboxes with requests for the same information and/or bitching about post deletion(s)... Quote
...I understand that there could be more PMs sent with stupid questions from spammers whos posts were deleted for good reason, but this can happen only once because we have the IGNORE function, so overwhelming amounts of additional work could be easily minimized. Additionally, if usernames would be provided, then there could be additional forum rules implemented regarding the communication with moderators to avoid spam and unneeded work...
As I remember, mod of Mining board is very strictly and delete lot of decent posts there. I don't see any reasons why your posts were deleted. But in other boards, good posts aren't usually get deleted without any reason...
...I post in mining both btc mining and altcoin mining. I get one to three posts deleted every week ... Frodocooper can be heavyhanded and over delete. Once in a while I will pm complain to him...
This is really strange that in section as mining moderator is "heavyhanded" and "over delete" because it is obvious from the first look that this board suffers from low user attendance, lack of new threads and interesting discussions.
I would be able to understand such behavior and even accept many mistakes in boards like Altcoin Discussion or any other with high amounts of spam, new threads and very high writing frequency, but it is enough to look at the screen above to know that the mining section is just the opposite and literally needs more posts and frequent writers.
Until today, I thought that my local section suffers from low frequency, but compared to mining we are standing really strong, have multiple active threads with many updates and active discussions, despite there are only a few frequent users there.
Now I am speculating, but it is possible that the mining section is in such a bad condition, just because too many good posts are removed for no reason, which obviously scares off every user from writing another post in this section. For me, it is enough to avoid this board and from this time I haven't posted there, despite we could have an interesting discussion with the OP in the The winter mining setup thread.
Do mods actually have the power to deprive the user of the usual notification by PM?
...I think there's an option not to notify the user. On previous occasions, I did notice that my post count decreased by 1 or 2 but received no notifications when they happened.This is something new for me, despite Legendary
from now I will try to know my exact post count number because this is true that sometimes I had problems to track the post count in signature campaigns, they just don't match from time to time and I thought it is because of posts I have deleted. I was sure every time our work is removed we got a notification and it would be great if somebody from the staff confirms this information?
