I can see that discussion has moved a bit from the post I was replying to. And folks have raised the same objections I have.

So in short: please, reconsider deleting closed topics. If you find some posts so egregious they warrant a deletion, remove them but leave the thread.

Noted.

I will also point this out as it is now becoming a trend -

I said users could PM me if they wanted to talk or wanted to share a view on the forums. This is not an invite to hurl abuse at me in private messages.


The forums can not improve if you spend a fair chunk of your time simply hurling abuse at members in threads or PMs, it's not acceptable.

Well, the thing is, you have to expect that the tone gets harsher if you choose not to reply to a polite version and just delete it because it was in a thread that was conveniently derailed, locked and deleted after an hour.

Wow, are people really doing that? I mean doing that to anyone is bad, but it seems like doing that to a mod is basically asking to be banned. :/

I don't expect conspiracy theories and abuse. Locking and deleting off-topic threads derailed by users insulting each other is not a new process. As I've explained to you personally in reply to your DM, and have explained in this thread.

Wait, was someone stupid enough to do that to warrant such warning?

Fair enough. My point is: if you do it, it's tongue in cheek. If someone else does it, it's a conspiracy theory.


Think Sophie's World. I only know the German translation, but basically it says that every coin has two sides. By deleting everything you force people to assume that you act malicious.


The truth is: You don't care about my opinion and I do not care about yours. I was optimistic when I saw a new moderator for the forums, but your actions yesterday destroyed my optimism. And there is no easy way out.

Breja: Also, I honestly have no idea what that "worst of what people can offer" in that thread about Galaxy was. I agree some people responded to the OP in a unwarranted, hostile way, but nothing so bad as to make the thread deserve deletion.

mk47at: The worst response that I read in that thread was made by the person you quoted. ;-)
True, and I'll be honest (which will probably get me banned and this thread locked and deleted) but my first thought was that that thread got deleted precisely to cover for that.
