Deleting Posts!!!

Zack_Attack · Posted: Jun 23, 2005 2:09 pm Post subject: Deleting Posts!!!

just today I posted a video of this crazy lady who's dog had bitten a guy. Well when the cops came to her and stuff she was saying things like "he not mean to, he get excited and bite me in my vagina all the time" and "he bite my labrador's penis and I don't want him to bite my labrador's penis". Now this video was originally from TLC so it was once on cable television. I clearly stated at the bottom of my post " NOT WORK SAFE IF VOLUME IS UP!!!!"

I am extremely curious as to why the post got deleted, Hell I have recently seen some posts from Riverrider19 and they are just flat out stupid and vulgar, yet they don't get deleted, they only get locked down. My question is why? and what classifies it as delete worthy?

For the record the video can be seen at www.collegehumor.com under movies and the title is BAD DOG!

how 'bout you email the mods and/or pat, instead of whining...i mean, starting a new thread?

jumalian,

has nothing to do with "whinning" I am simply asking a question. I am just curious what is any worse about my thread than some of the other extremely stupid and pointless stuff that is most of the time posted under the wrong topics.

i've been there....most of us have. the best thing to do is to email or pm the mods and/or pat and find out what made them nuke the thread. once they've given you the reason, don't do it again. try not to make a big stink as to "why this was nuked and others aren't," trust me, you'll get on their bad side.

jumalian, sounds like a convo I had with someone else today...

Except the reasoning given was contradictory to their policies. Neutral

Zack_Attack,

Don't worry about it, I've had all kinds of things "nuked." Even posts that earned stars. Sometimes my politically views don't align with the powers that be.

Of course naked wasted underage chick pics throating a 1/5 of Tequilla is o.k. Same with the illegal drug threads that manage to survive. Rolling Eyes

Don't waste your time sending a pm for an explanation, if you do get a response it will be like, just felt it was better to than blah, blah, blah.......

Been nuked.....

Oh well. When I care enough, I'll start my own forum. Which I don't.

So how many people would buy a "My thread was deleted on wakeboarder.com" T-Shirt?

Seth Martin, ME! ME! How much you charging? Laughing

I might. You could at least PS a cool graphic to print and hang on the wall. Smile

It was mentioned a while back. I thought it was a great idea. Dont know why Pat never went further with it. I'll send him this thread and see what he says.

microman,

Yes sir, had something to do with the science of forestery management. Someone apparently likes trees.

I am having this problem at another forum. The guys think if you aren't being 100% nice and your not a mod your uncivil, where as mods can do whatever they want and never get in trouble...

Now i have began to report every post there and they are getting mad because i do it so much when they told me to use that feature.. Laughing

hey do I get any recognition for the t-shirts? HAHA. I would definitely buy one of those shirts. I know its not a huge deal or anything I just thought that it would be something to talk about and hear some other "NUKING" stories. No hard feelings or anything like that, just trying to get my post count up to c-tipping standards Wink

Come on guys, if you think something is hypocritical, just shoot me a private message. It's not some big conspiracy or something. If something needs to be deleted, let me know, if you had something deleted and you don't know why, let me know.

Unfortunately I'm too busy to read the thousand posts a day, so I rely on moderators who do read things for free on their own time. Both myself and the moderators aren't perfect, so letting me know if you disagree with something is the best way to handle it. Gracias.

Regarding tha t-shirt, it's existed for years:
