Case of the missing quote...

I've been noticing much of my responses are completely eliminated without rhyme or reason. I understand it is the job of the admins and moderators to uphold posters to a somewhat professional standard or etiquette. However, I find it offensive when accurate, direct, though slightly rude comments are removed. If my memory serves me, is there not a legend of a man (complete with bad grammar, and nasty spelling) who creates entire posts on why a map sucks, and my comments, which are much more upstanding and tame, are erased from memory... It strikes odd.

Constructive posting is acceptable, trolling/flamebaiting isn't. Even if that isn't your intent, it is the effect it produces that matters.

(For the record, I deleted one comment (and through that its two responses, one yours, one Chasester's, I believe). I am not aware of any other comments of yours being deleted, and this version of Drupal apparently does not have very informative logging.)

I think you deleted my comment :P. No problem at all this time, it was just saying that "shakespeare" shouldnt wake up another flamewar...

To shakespeare,
When those comments are saying a map sucks, but also "what", "why" and "how to fix" (so its pretty constructive), then why should you add an "accurate" and "direct" reply on that comment?

I thank you for your informative reply. In the interest of logging an accurate record, I have had three post deleted.

Moderators are by no means required to explain their reasons, the difference between real life and the internet is that the internet is not a democracy, you are a guest, and are subject to the house rules. Chase walks a razor-thin line with his responses, but in the end the redeeming quality for them is that they are in fact constructive criticism, not outright trolling.

For the record, I would have deleted your posts too. I fully stand by the decisions of the moderators I have appointed.

anyways, i agree that if something seems like trolling or advertising products or whatever, then it might be removed. be constructive through your comments and you shouldnt have anything to worry about :D

As the instances prevail, tolerance does not.
