Cakers and SeaGal......have either one of you edited your posts on this thread......if you haven't, then they are on here too.

SHowme: Ha ha - no I did not edit my post. But on your World Series Thread every single post I made was removed. Every single one. They would post, remain for a minute or two, and then bam! Somebody sure didn't want me there. And the same thing happened on Emma's thread about the same topic.

Even if I quoted a poster, their posts stayed but mine were gone.

I can't imagine being that hateful. Oh well. More the pity for them.

I remember that...... But I was happy you were there with us......and you know I wouldn't do that..... We all know there are trouble makers on these boards.....that will never change.

SHowme: I know you didn't - the games are always fun with no mean remarks. An edit on all my posts would have be no big deal, but the fact that the posts were removed leaves no doubt that somebody here is a webbie. And it didn't happen just on the first game; it continued on the second game.

I don't mean to butt in on your conversation, but I can't imagine any reason why posts would be deleted on a World Series thread. Good grief. I'm not doubting you, but someone must be deliberately trying to stir up trouble. I've read and participated in many baseball threads and they are very civil and good-natured, with posters merely cheering their teams on.

Believe us Topaz......it happened. I was there when it did......

I totally believe you. I just can't figure out who would be doing this or why. If a post is reported, doesn't Webbie review the post before deleting it? If not, they definitely should.

Maybe it's the new whatever they were doing to the Community. I don't see why anyone would be edited on a civil thread.


Mine get hit all the time now for some reason. I must have made The LIST. I'm so proud. (Big Smile emotie) LOL

I actually have a graphic for that...........but they delete it LOL................................raven

I think we have entered the Twilight Zone!

Well, I've been in worse places. LOL

My posts are frequently edited by somebody with nothing better to do. I figure nothing I say here is prolific enough to give a darn. I said it and it wasn't all that important in the scheme of things. I can live with it.

As far as the edit squad, I always thought that they are banned for doing it in excess?

Mine are as well, as are many other posters. I envision a disgruntled former poster taking it upon themselves to report posts all day long for whatever reason. Kind of a payback type of situation I imagine. Yesterday Terrier and I were reported in one particular thread and for once we weren't even disagreeing on anything! Wink

One thing, though, Topaz, if you want to have peace; I find the other forums are far less hostile. I never get edited anywhere else but here. Smile

serenity.....you just got hit.......

I edited it myself..See my post below it.Smile

I must need new glasses as I don't see "edit" on any posts.

Well Suzie.....maybe it's time for you to invest in some new glasses.....#4 and #10 both have been edited.......

or a seeing eye dog........then she could also posts pictures of him Smile......................raven

Seeing eye dog... how cute! Now I do see your smile is in a box with an x.

That little box with an x.....is another problem they haven't fixed.......I believe this is the 3rd day for this happening.

ShowMe, go into your settings and clear your cookies, it worked for me yesterday.

Its easy, just click on setting and you will see it.

So it is just OK with you all, not just the editing but they way these boards are moderated in general?

if i really hated it i would just move on to another board......many may not like it but "it is what it is" and we just keep rolling along.....{#emotions_dlg.sneaky}

Well, hopefuly enough posters ARE sick of it and ARE contacting corperate.

do you really think that that many people are actually contacting corporate about"edits" and removal of threads? in the grand scheme of things i dont think it is THAT important to them OR to a large number of posters.

I agree, Lion.

Just another thing to be accusatory about. It doesn't help.

Amen.

And the accusations themselves are a big part of the problem around here.

I think Webbie has the ability to put certain posters, for whatever reason, on "watch.". That would be the only reason that edit shows up on every post somebody makes.

so, just curious......has anyone actually called and contacted "corporate" to discuss what is going on here on the forums?......because it has been happening for quite a while now.
