ddanby111 Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 can someone tell me why after warning my fellow pigeon watch members that there is a scammer on here do they then delete my post ? seems very strange for a public forum to be dictated about what your allowed to say, especially the truth?

welsh1 Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 The mods do a dam good job on here, they tread a fine line between letting some risqué threads run or stop them, i believe they mostly get a good balance and let the forum flow,and some times threads are simply deleted to protect the poster from getting into trouble form a simple case of slander.well done the mods.

Beretta28g Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Its when threads dissappear, that have no percieved legal/slander/risky bearing that IMHO takes the urine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kes Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 I would suggest the mods have to manage a situation where it is often unclear who is right and who is not. They cannot allow unsubstantiated slurs to be openly available and will encourage people to sort out there differences privately rather than publicly slanging each other on here. I suggest they make no judgements about who is right or wrong but would be culpable if the posts turn out to be libelous. Its a sensible self-protection approach and I, for one, think they do a very worthwhile and considerate job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Mongrel- Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Welcome to the PW world where mods rule They remove anything they fancy Indeed, as well as some over zealous thread closing, Cranfield in particular does seem to be fond of shutting a thread down. Never happened to me yet so no axe to grind, may have had a couple of posts deleted but not a thread, just my observations and opinion. Not that they count for anything of course. The joys of a privately run forum. Still about the best forum on the net though purely because the Walts get jumped on, by the members mostly rather than the mods LOL!

I know you are peeved, but until someone looks into it you do not know what has gone on,so they have protected you by deleting your post before you say something that may prejudice getting the problem resolved. The mods don't have to, but they will try to help first, having a thread running with all sorts of comments isn't going to help them,let them do their thing, and after they have mediated and can do no more they will let you know,you can then do your own thing like court action etc. Remember 90% of threads like these have a simple explanation, holiday, bereavement,i even remember one where the poor bloke was in hospital,patience little one, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxus77 Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 (edited) I found a seller out on here that was selling fake knives now I know forum has to protect itself but as a member on many other forums I would think it's better to leave Info on to help warn others at end of day they can edit any post if required. I do fully understand a mods job and have to say they do a good job on here like some other good forums I use Also we don't know what goes on behind scences with info handed to police etc so have to think about bigger picture I suppose Edited October 11, 2013 by maxus77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
