I dont know of any other online forum where posts critical of the people in charge get scrubbed clean like they do here Congrats!

errr what posts critical to the people? and are u talkign about wdz's pruning?

All posts violating forumrules will be cleaned, moved or pruned
Shows that we got very active members and staff

this is the first forum ive ever been in, is it like the others???

not realy, many other forums have no place like testing and trashing

in most forums, things that you see in testing and trashing would normally be deleted

other messenger communities

Care to tell us exactly what posts you're talking about?

We usually don't delete criticisms and insults, as long as you don't swear excessively or make blatantly false claims, or something like that.

I am not talking about wdz's pruning. I posted a reply yesterday to this thread which has been deleted/cencored:

I guess you think i'm stupid or lazy? Why else are you stating the obvious? Do the forum rules forbid the posting of material that is critical to the mods/admins/developers?

Each forum is different. Although some are managed better than others. By the way, you might want to buy a new keyboard. Your shift key seems to be broken.

You might want to rephrase that. Surely you dont know what goes on in most forums. As I, you most llikely only know about a small fraction of boards on the net. Maybe on the subset of forums that you visit posts get deleted. In forums I visit posts generally don't get deleted at all.

Usually? I didnt swear in my post nor did I make blatantly false claims or anything like that. Maybe you usually don't delete critiziszms, but i guess sometimes you do!

Yeah why? Is that also against the forum rules?

OK... the logs show that it was probably Patchou who deleted the post. As I haven't read the post myself, I can't guess what his reason was.

No, not necessarily.

Well, good forums should be clean and organized, and it's hard to accomplish that without deleting posts...

Usually?

Sometimes there are special circumstances, or a moderator feels a certain way about something... we are all human beings here, not robots.

Of course not. I just couldn't tell if you were complaining about something or actually giving a compliment.
