MODERATORS - Removing a Post

[DocHeb]

I once had a moderator turn me into a newt...






but I got better.

As a party in the incident I want to ask one question about post removal.... Is it still setup that all replies to the initial "bad seed" post are removed by default? Now, unclebuck, I am not saying yours was a bad seed specifically. I am using that as a generic term. It is my understanding that this is the way the software works or is setup.... I have no qualms that my post was removed in the group, as I think we can agree things were not going in the right direction regardless of the reason. To be honest, I have made a few posts in the past that I looked back some time later and was shocked it was still there. Got a little upset with Mr. Messick for one.... but who hasn't done that?

With the new forum software, individual posts can be removed. However, when posts after the 'bad seed' quote the 'bad seed', or comment on them they are removed as well. Without the 'bad seed', subsequent posts may not make sense.

OK Mike. Thanks alot. That's makes perfect sense.

It's sad how some things turn out... one thread that got locked up yesterday after the original thread wad deleted was bad enough, I thought we were all past it and then people had to go and get nasty again. It stinks. I thought I had seen where some threads were locked and then unlocked again after everyone cooled off. Did I really see that, or was I dreaming it up? This seems like a good compromise where possible. Obviously that is not always the case though....

Yep, that happens.

See what I missed, darn, wish I had a job like yours

"bad seed" post....

Besides the "bad seed" theory, there might be a different reason for my post removal on that thread

It is really nice. My boss does expect me to pay attention to what goes on here. I probably spend more time than I should though. ... But I don't get to do it on the weekends usually either...
