yes. .I didn't come across very well in summers thread at all but still that is part and parcel of who I am warts and all. . I get a bad mood day and let it  all out. .I object to the deleting of the threads/editing posts etc. . that was the C4 way, I thought we were long past that

I tried it on this one. .only the   post option comes up to delete.. but the others were locked anyway so am pretty sure you couldn't delete a locked thread before either..

am getting very very miffed now..

Ah right, thanks Olly.  Thought I had read something about something at some stage.  

 

And I agree......the threads shouldn't be deleted.  Locked if they are getting out of hand, yes, but not deleted.

eh? If I hover over my first post I get the dustbin. .if I click it it comes up with the delete this post? box. .

 

there is no edit this topic on the left hand side. .I think you may be seeing more due to being a mod. .us normal people don't see the admin permissions stuff.. 

 

 

Not that you appear to be reading my posts for some reason..

Yup. . and locked they were... then this morning. . gorn...... .

 

Sometimes I like to read back what I have posted a day later to chastise myself if I have gone OTT..  that's how come I noticed they were gone. .

That's your answer???????  You're kidding me

 

How long did it take all you mods to come up with that nonsensical spin doctor paragraph?

 

good grief. .we got foisted with FM's as mods. . we are told nothing will change ..then it does. .

Seriously. .I started this thread there is no report button on my  first post . .there is a dustbin. .it just deletes the post. .

 

El Loro went thru the changes that were made recently. .one being Thread starters are only able to delete their first post not the thread..

 

I give up anyway... I am not conversing with spin doctor speaking people...

Well she was online too and seems to have avoided making a response..

 

 No doubt this will be gone in the morning too..

Olly:

 

For your information, I do not usually avoid you. Nor do I avoid making a response.  

 

You are being pretty harsh, aren't you? Have you ever had a job where people talk about your performance in front of you and criticize everything you did? It kinda sucks. 

 

That thread was removed because it was felt that no good would come of having it there, as some pretty unkind things were said. I'm pretty sure it's not up to you to judge as to whether or not that was the right thing to do. Please don't paint these mods with the same paintbrush as the mods at C4: they are trying very hard to do the right thing, and you're not making it any easier.

 

Your new mods stepped up to help keep this forum running. It's not an easy job, as I think you know, Ollie. If you weren't willing to step up, then you shouldn't be passing opinion on what happens all the time. Cut them a little slack, maybe?

We would indeed have no forum ,and I would have been gutted.I had a thread locked before and I deleted it .What was the point of a thread being there that no one could post on.

FM

Lori I am sorry but in no way was I being harsh about the way I felt my question was answered [eventually]. .in fact the criticism aimed at the FM's being mods was proved to be correct considering it was a ridiculous and almost pompous sounding response.. I  stand by that..  sorry if it is not what you want to hear..   it is certainly  not a response I would expect from any of my 10 strong Mod team. .I would expect consideration, a full explanation, no spin doctoring and a good measure of politeness too..

 

and yes being criticised in front of others is not nice. .I know that.. but I have accepted mine in the past if I know what is being said to be true, sometimes I see the truth on reflection.. sometimes straight away.. 

 

as for the content of those threads. .sorry but I may not have engaged the sock puppet  but some of it had a ring of truth in it. .but I presume it's to protect the one person as usual..

 

I think I should bugger off. .clearly I don't fit in. .

cos it is part and parcel of the forum history. .tells a story of the forum and it's members. .and not everybody is here at the same time so deleting something means not all members get a chance to form their own opinions.. that is why threads should not be dleted.. IMO only of course

'kay. Missed that one then. Either way, I'm not bothered the threads disappeared. As I see it, they just allow arguments and resentments to fester. This forum is small enough as it is without unnecessary barneys busting out left, right and centre. 

Xochi

we'll have to agree to disagree on that Xochi. .

 

I'm fairly sure this and the other thread is not showing me in a good light but I rather people have a good rounded idea of who I am instead of deleting anything I do or say that may be not so nice ..  you get a more rounded personality profile that way and from that can choose whether you wanted to engage that person or not. .make friends with them or not etc..
