Hi gang. can someone please explain who and why posts are getting deleted? i thpught thus was an unmoderated forum?!?
Some people just delete their posts, I believe for privacy reasons. IDK why though, that shit stays on the internet forever via caching services like Google. I see it in a lot of threads. It was very common from certain people in the speculation thread, they even said that's what they were doing.
thats not the case here.. people are getting pm from bitcoin forum moderators telling them that their post has been removed due to ''off topic reasons or other reasons''
its all done very randomly.
well thats complete BS... if its unmoderated... its unmoderated... so, bitcoin forum guys explain yourself
s please.
The mods here are a pack of wankers. Every time I report a post at least one of my own golden nuggets of pure wisdom and beauty gets deleted, and the shit I was reporting remains untouched more often than not. C'est la vie.
well i think we need to get to the bottom of this. ihadnt really noticed untill today... this is unacceptable... especially when messages from Trolls and FUDDSTERs are NOT being deleted... that is going to be a big problem.
I've realised I've had posts deleted today too. Mostly ones where I've quoted someone and added +1 or +100. I followed up the instructions in one of the PMs on how to contact them about the deletion and it results in:
"User 'Bitcoin Forum' has blocked your personal message."
What I'd said in my message was:
Okay, quite a few of us have suddenly become aware our post are being deleted. Can you please explain what's going on? We've all been operating under (what now appears to be) a misapprehension that this forum i unmoderated. What will cause a post to be deleted? Who is taking this action and how do we contact that person to discuss how to keep content from being deleted?
Bitcointalk can you please respond as to what's going on here and why we're getting our posts deleted? We need to know that a level of integrity exists and our content isn't being deleted.
