Jenni I apologize didnt realize that someone would put up one of your beautiful poems for deletion..........as long as it wasn't deleted that shows that the system is working....or am I wrong............and I will be more observant especially in the poetry section.

Shadow bro you can only vote once per topic

it is a clear violation of the reson for moderation

for ccp's poem to be nominated for deletion

and that vote caster should lose their

moderation privaledges for ever

only beauty should not get deleted

it's called carte blanche

or something

vanity saves but not your soul

It wasn't deleted Pam, just the fact it was voted to be deleted for being in the wrong forum is ridiculous.I totally understood when we first got this mod system that people would try it out and things would get voted on when it wasn't needed..but this has gone on too long...people are button happy now and they think its funny.

There are jerks in every crowd.
Ignore them, doing it for attention.
Vote "DON'T DELETE"

sage the point is they should lose the ability

of using moderation as an attention getting ploy

they need to lose their moderation privaledge

I thought that Mike and Van had in the system a way to check on who was being delete button happy. Is it the same few people creating havoc?

they say no

but it is obvious it is being abused

and if ya vote to delete a thread for an untrue reason

you should lose the ability to do it

If it is Pam they can't/won't tell us...but posting privileges and voting privileges should be revoked if it is. to borrow adj's line but hey what do I know

if you drive a car

and do it improberly

you lose your legal ability to do so

Awww have had the same thing happen to me I just ignore them for they want get deleted for the others always come to the rescue. But if it gets deleted just have to contact Mike Or Van they will look into it and if it was deleted for the wrong reasons they said they would put it back up. At one time they did say that if otheres were abusing the delete button they in returned could be banned or be giving a warning so I assume they can tell who has voted to delete.

------------------------

Which topics are getting deleted that shouldn't be? Because we review the topics, and don't see ANY that were deleted that shouldn't be in the past week or so. And since the system was put into place, I think I can count on one hand the number of incorrect deletions that have occured. And remember this is out of the THOUSANDS of topics that have been posted since then.

The topics that I see that were deleted were mainly:
- Spam or advertisements (bunch of stupid get out of debt ads)
- Duplicate topics
- Wrong forum (and correctly deleted as a result)
- and the worst kind of all, attacks on other users

I keep hearing about topics that supposedly get deleted that shouldn't, but I frankly am not seeing that happen at all. We can see all the topics that are deleted and who voted on them, and we have absolutely NO evidence that topics are being deleted maliciously or that there is any type of widespread abuse whatsoever.

Now, are there instances where topics are being NOMINATED incorrectly, and also VOTED on incorrectly? Yes, absolutely. But they almost never actually get DELETED incorrectly, because enough users vote to save them.

We do NOT see it as a problem that there are incorrect votes or incorrect nominations. We know that is going to happen, and the system is designed to account for that. We would see it as a problem if those topics were actually getting deleted, but that is not happening.

On the plus side, the moderation system is providing HUGE benefits to us in that bad topics are getting deleted much faster than before. There have been several times in the past year where I've been on vacation with my family and I've had to check my computer every day to make sure there weren't any bad topics on the forums. I don't think I have to tell any of you that my wife was not happy about my having to work everyday while on vacation.

And even doing that, I still wasn't fast enough to delete some topics before a huge stink had already erupted with people getting upset, leaving the site, etc. With the moderation system in place, a large percentage of those topics are being deleted immediately, long before most of you even see them or get upset.

The system is definitely not perfect, and we're always looking to improve it. But please, if you're going to complain about it, bring me some evidence of topics actually getting DELETED incorrectly, or come up with a better solution.

I think there is a lot of misinformation and false accusations being made about the moderation system, so I want to set the record straight. If you see abuse, then I want hard facts, because there is absolutely NO evidence of that happening on our end.

for those asking

ok I now have seen a topic up for deletion in the help section..........all the person wanted to know was how to post her own discussion............that was in the right forum, asking for help............now someone explain to me why that was up for deletion?

I think it's sad too,I also have seen new people with one post and get deleted and have not seen them since.People are just being down right mean and the one's that maybe should don't.

Unless someone is derogatory to another or posting on the wrong thread, thee is NO reason to delete someone, even if u dont agree with what they are saying!!!!!!!!!!!

you still stirring up trouble bro...

not me

just redoing my lost

bookmarks from the other comp

besides i brought it up for this one as well
