What'd I Miss?

Plaid Pants2 — Tue, 14 Nov 2017 03:19:03 GMT

I'm not talking about any one specific thread, but sometimes, when I scan the various thread titles in the various forums, I'll come across a locked thread, where all of the posts have been removed, and I'll think to myself, "What'd I miss?".

I fully understand what you said...it seems I just signed out and going back in I am amazed at what transpired in a very short time.

The only “bunch” today is in Q Talk, and it’s easy to see they were the usual things that go deliberately over the line and were calculated to be insta-poofs before “Post” was ever hit. Bo-ring. I picture basement dwellers with a chalkboard of Xs for each poof, maybe a party hat and favor to blow for each X.

Been off most of the day, sounds like it was quite lively! Oh dear...

I saw the deleted posts and most of them were pretty nasty. Good thing they got yanked.

You didn’t miss much...mostly host bashing, then same poster complaining about the removal... more than once.

I am amazed then when something is deleted how they keep trying to only get poofed again. Perhaps in need of a hobby! I didn't see it. I saw the blockings and I could tell right away who it was about.

The poor Mods must feel like they are watching a kindergarden group.

Kind of sad that people have to be so mean. I just don't get it. So what did they accomplish ???? Nothing. :0(

I'm amazed at the people that need to know what they missed. Starting a post inquiring about it is almost as bad as restarting a deleted thread. It if it was deleted, just let it go. Why bring it up again.

Not sure what went on on the day in discussion here, but I have seen days where the mods must actually be awake or more heavily staffed, as one thread after another is locked or full of post removals, when really the tone is quite sedate and people are behaving rather well.

Some days I think they just need to justify their jobs, or have a quota to meet.

Sorry, but I do not agree with you at all. I highly doubt that they have a quota to meet. These Mods have a hard job here, and it is disrespectful of you to say such a thing. I think we all had things deleted, and maybe didn't understand why, but I am sure they are not doing it to meet a quota.

I agree the mods do have a hard job. What with all the whining and complaining by some about threads and posts, the constant complaining about why certain threads are allowed to be started and lets not forget those who contact the Office of the President or CS to try and get posts removed because they think the board is all about them.

That is what is disrespectful to me. Those posters apparently think they can do a better job than the mods or think the mods aren't doing their jobs.
