As if to prove a point, a moderator just deleted a whole reply, completely destroying the sense of the subsequent replies in the thread.
Again for the staff who is obviously hard of hearing: this is not acceptable behaviour for moderation
Here is the post. I removed the section the moderator “thought” was against the forum’s guidelines.
Mind you, it actually doesn’t even begin to go against community guidelines, but thats another issue alltogeter.
Even if it 100% did go against, removing the whole post is badly applied censorship.
Quod ertat demonstratum.
Once again, to make this pathetic policy crystal clear.
Even though they have the option to force a user to modify a post, or to clean up a topic, staff is being directed to Censor complete discussions that have no bearing. Complete set of posts that are not infringing on anything.
Solely based on their opinion and understanding about what is written.
Absolutely no good will ever come of this for the community.
While you see it happen here with a pointless post, the same happens to whole threads where people have taken the time to explain how to do somerhing - just because there’s some flaming.
Essentially posts like the one about materials and switches compiling all the time, which despite the constant flames is probably one of the most informative topics on this forum are now being compeltely prevented from ever existing.
…Yea, the unwashed masses may need a link to the topic to know what I’m even referring to… if I pass by again ill add it in…
Regaddless, this lazy behaviour is disgusting.
And I know for a fact it has costed the forum at least 3 new users so far, being they emailed me privately after reading this.
I invite those who write saying “i agree” etc. To just share with us the topic that drove you away in this thread.
Try to get whatever sorry excuse of a community will be left to actually see it. And flee…
