I take a similar approach to Mprep, in that if the majority of the post is on topic, then I'll likely leave it. After all, I think we all stray somewhat off topic, but as long as we keep the main point on topic, and the majority of the post on topic I don't think it's that big of a problem.

Another option might be that it is not acceptable to repost a post that was previously deleted by the moderators, without permission from a moderator, or that you cannot take action to reverse what a moderator did, unless you are complaining in meta, or have received permission to do so.

As far as I know, this will likely lead to harsher actions being taken if this continues. Likely starting at personal messages warning of the fact, then leading onto a temporary ban. Though, I've yet to be in this position, most people aren't that persistent, and just accept it or complain in Meta which is fine.

My biggest concern is that someone who is complaining should know where to complain about the moderation. Almost all the time, if a post is moderated, the moderation follows forum policy. However there is always the risk a mod goes rogue, or a mod account gets hacked. If this happens and people complain in the wrong section, the administration will have difficulty detecting the moderator doing something he shouldn’t be.

Yeah, in a perfect world that's what would happen. Though, I'd like to think that if someone was being punished unfairly or at least suspecting that a moderator has gone rogue as you put it, contact an admin to get it sorted or at least look up where to post complaints.

I'm not sure how much this has happened in Bitcointalk's history though, I don't think I recall many instances, maybe once? So, either the admins do a good job of getting on it right away or it just doesn't happen very often.

Look, a staff members that maybe cares. Vlad2vlad- 9 year legendary lead dev of several coins, and confronted a thief. It’s been a month and since mods targeted his threads especially his favorite most active one, the riddle thread. Everyday with him banned they deleted and merge hundreds of posts of his and other posters. They’re retaliating and targeting vlad, dropping his count and trying to destroy his rep.

The coward mod won’t even post his name. The guy he accused never responded to PM or on the goldcoin community. Criminal evidence was deleted but vlad has screenshots. 9 years and the guy has only had 2-3 14 day bans now he’s being treated like a criminal.

He PM’s cobra and Luke, he knows both to a decent degree. Nothing. This a concerted effort to attack and destroy one of the most legitimate posters you guys have. Vlad got angry with all the deletions on the riddle thread so he said ok I’ll help and he himself deleted tons of his own messages. Then they banned him and restored his thread but continue with the insane merging. The merging they’re doing is absurd and you won’t find it on any other poster’s thread. It’s just Vlad2Vlad.

I request all my threads be completely deleted. I worked hard for my research - I’m not a post monkey. I even worked with Craig for a while. Straighten my thread to new or completely delete all of its content. Locking the thread will just anger me more. You can’t have your cake eat it too.

And Luke, you are not a fair just man. Neither are you Craig. You just sit and watch.

Try to rip off my identity and I’ll show up in person at your biggest confests. I asked to do this nicely, I left microguy alone but you kept deleting and merging daily for no reason.

Just to teach me that in bitcointalk things aren’t discussed, they’re done the gestapo way.
