Mods vary.
To all
Please :
Sometimes it is difficult.
We try to let go what we can.
I don't know what happened above.
Selection of a few words from a quote is usually okay.
For me, if you deliberately try to change the meaning of what someone wrote so you can have a go at them, then your likely to get barred from that thread either for a day or two or permanently. If you keep doing it you can be barred from several others or from the whole forum including the Combustion Chamber.
Don't be a repeat offender.
Try not to be provocative.
If member A says "you can understand group Fred getting angry at group Bert any way what they can",
And member B replies "member A supports terrorism and mass murder".
Then member B gets their post removed and more if what they accused is particularly nasty.
Do not use "Straw Man" arguments.
Do not make things up like "Member A thinks it's ok to . . . . .." . That is ad-hominem and will be deleted on sight at least.
We don't have time for arguments so I usually don't give a reason. That is what the site owner said to do. It is up to you to read the rules.
Remember we don't see all posts, so use the Report button. We may not read anything for a long time. There can be 10 Reports and it takes half an hour to go through them.
Also sometimes a number of posts have to go so innocent ones in the middle can be lost as well, sorry.
We can see deleted posts and old versions if we look.
Please try to let things go and not be trivial.
Hope that helps.
One of the mods.
