Community Chat

I believe at least once a day someone comes back with a subject post that was deleted by a moderator.

I really believe there are posters that don't know the standards of what is allowed and what isn't.

It would be a great addition to add a forum subject so it's front and center for all to read of what is allowed and what isn't.  I would suggest replace the My Favorite Brand title with Community Standards/Guidelines.  I would also suggest that these standards are listed and there's no opportunity to post anyone's views/opinions.  Just the rules and nothing but the rules.

There are those who just blatantly thumb their nose to the rules.

They know the rules, and choose to break them anyway.

And the rules are there for anybody to read at any time.

Just click on "Standards".

Oh, they know.....

More often than not, there are several threads already deleted on the same topic, stating the reason that they were deleted.

Some people can't help from 'bucking the system' or flagrantly disregarding the 'rules'.

JMO.

You got that right and it's usually the same people.

On the left side the screen the last item listed under preferences is a link to Standards.  As with the old adage you can lead a horse to water but can't make it drink the standards can be listed but go unread or ignored or, most commonly believed to be for others not "me".

I have wondered about some of them if this causing "problems" and breaking the rules repeatedly is the one and only highlight of their day?  I hope not.

My motto is live and let live. The only one I am responsible for here is myself. If someone chooses to challenge moderation, it's the moderators call not mine. I highly suspect that posters who challenge moderation are well aware of the rules..

Very many times, it isn't the original post that blatantly defies the standards (and those are/can be loosely applied because of differences in moderators and what they see as against the standards or even what the standards mean), it is posters taking it the next step to make it so.

And let's face it, on a pretty regular basis, it is just the mods stopping things before they even start. 

Any topic (no matter how mundane and innocent) can easily be lead into the 'against standards' realm. There are people here who make a career out of making that happen. It often isn't the OP that is the problem.

I think one needs to worry about important things in their own life,and stop being nosey,let the mods do that.

I think most people here know what the standards are.

Some people don't believe the rules apply to them.  Then there is the issue of the mods not applying the standards consistently, which is another issue entirely.
