Hey there Mod 11
You deleted one of my posts today on the basis it was “not helpful”. This was after I flagged several posts to Admin by a newly registerd member which were resurrecting many old threads (some totally ancient) about the same subject & which appeared to be advertising; all but two of these now seem to have disappeared.

I asked why you considered my post was "not helpful” but have had no response; is that Mods privilege or something? After my initial jabs at the poster for what appeared to be advertising (notifying admin at the same time), there were subsequently a couple of meaningful posts by the poster indicating they may well be a serious contributor to the forum (or was it sucker punches), I commented on one of these & that’s what you deleted. The poster didn’t appear to have a serious problem with my comments on the several posts at the time (at least it didn’t get nasty) but why delete it? Unless some derogatory comment was made about me; but, hey, I’m a big boy, I’d rather know about it!

This is my first deleted post & I’m am not happy with why it was done or the total lack of any explanation when I asked. Do I at least not warrant a personal message with some sort of explanation or even a ballraking? I put a lot of time & effort into this forum & have been here for quiet some time, as is obvious, & would like to think my history & background speaks for itself; I’m not a happy bunny. :evil:

It's simply because no one likes a snitch. ;) ;) ;)
On Coronation St, Tracy Barlow has just ended up in hospital for being a snitch. Think yourself lucky,,,, You've only had a post deleted. ;) ;) ;) ;)
 
That's not snitching. When a new poster comes on here, and their only interest is plugging their company or their product,,, for free,,, why should they get away with it. I've "snitched" a few "illegal advertisers" on here over the past three years, and it doesn't bother me one iota!!:cool:. That's one of the "alert mod" options.
Companies pay for the privilige of advertising on here,,, that's what keeps the site going. When you get some greedy bastard, who just signs up, tries to advertise for free, to make money out of it, they're worth snitching on.
Richard's right, Mod 11 should explain "why" he deleted the post,,,, i'm sure he will. ;)
 
In the absence of a “thanks Mod” button, thanks for at least responding Mod 4 ;)

My posts are always relevant; they can be factual but not offensive unless I’m provoked. I would not expect to be deleted & never have been before today in spite of a few & sometimes very confrontational exchanges over the years; I don’t see deleted posts as any form of badge of recognition.
 
Sorry Richard, My post was entirely tongue firmly in cheek. As it wasn't relevant to the thread I thought the Mod's may well have deleted it.
I sincerely hope it was taken in the way it was intended to be taken. ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

No problem; I did understand where you’re at & just wanted to make it clear where I’m at. I really don’t have the time or inclination to get involved with a lot of the bickering, argumentative stuff that goes on in some of the forums which is why I’m slightly more than upset about what’s happened with Mod 11.
 
just of late the mods have gone a bit doolally, if you have not broke any of the forum rules, the posts should remain. It's plain to see that the newbie was trying to drum up business and was also resurrecting old post, which then leads to confession with other forum members as they start to offer advise on post that are no longer active.
It's the newbie that should have been addressed and unhelpful post removed, how can an answer to a three year old post be helpful?
Mod11 get a grip and give RichardC at least a complementary response, his record goes before him and deserves an explanation. After all he was flagging up a no no.
And the reward was :?: :confused:
I too have had comments and post deleted for no good reason, whilst some unhelpful comments and abusive post have been allowed to stay.
 
I would just like to say a few things........

I am really not trying to drum up business, and even if i was, why would i try to drum up business with people who live over 200 miles away?

I dont understand why richard c has such a problem with me, Critizing all of my posts and i feel that is un nessary. You seem to have an awfull lot of time on your hands and i dont see why you dont just concertrate on your own posts. I am not commenting on any of your posts so why are you following me around. This is supposed to be and advice forum and that is what i am doing.

And yes...i did comment on posts which were a few years old.....but i was completly un aware of this. I am not a spammer and i dont even have a concrete company. I work for a little shipping company in felixstowe and was just a bit bored at work so come accross this site.
 
Richard said that you had posted some meaningful posts and you could be a serious contributor.
Sound's to me that the problem is firstly the fact that Richard has had post removed for no reason and is awaiting an explanation.
The advertising is breach of forum rules, but please do continue to get involved, you will find in general we are a happy bunch, once you find your feet.
Even though I need to chill once in awhile.
 
well just feel i little bit bullied on here to be honest. This is about the fact a post was deleted on a post i had commented on. It was clearly directed at me as he had previously commented on pretty much every single post of mine. He has had a few digs at me for commenting on older posts saying i was annoying and have been spamming, but infact i didnt even relise that these were old posts. and wouldnt of bothered if i knew.
 
Well , I was going to keep quiet, as my north and south often gets me in trouble, but have decided to have half a crowns worth.
I have not been posting on here long, but every so often I pick up on some persons post and find it of great interest and make a point of reading their previous posts.
I picked up Richards posts soon after joining this forum and read a shed load of his previous posts, and even after all the years that I have been dragged through this industry, I have learn’t things from Richard that I did not know. May I say thank you Richard for your valuable contributions to my education.
Never once have I read any thing racialist offence or abusive, only good sound solid advice.
Why the mod and rocker decided to delete the post is a mystery to me,as I have no idea what was in the post.
I do know what was in the prentice boys post to me before it was deleted, and yes some people could consider it offensive but me, I found it very funny, just the general craic that goes on every day . But then again as prentice boy pointed out, I lost me marbles long time ago.
Don’t let it get yer down Richard boy just keep them good posts coming.
old un.

Yes it was a comment directed to you oldun and no one else, so the fact that you were not offended and appreciated the humour side of it, as I was pulling your leg.
I did not quite get why that part was deleted. But the offer still stands, if you need any assistance ;) :LOL:
 
I work for a little shipping company in felixstowe and was just a bit bored at work so come accross this site.

I have an old pair of socks and two pickled oinions, that I would like to ship to Hong Kong. Could you please advise as to the most economical method.
Thanking you in anticipation.
