COKTOE Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 (edited) Last 3 posts completely wiped, all in flagged game disputes threads. I feel they were all fairly innocuous, and was given no reason for their deletion, which, unless this is technical issue, is something a moderator will usually include with a post removal. Anyone with any idea as to what's happening here? I just posted the removed post again, so if it remains for 5 minutes, someone can see it it to see what the hubub is about. Annnd it's been removed already. Edited January 4, 2022 by COKTOE word salad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevieboy Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 (edited) Your posts aren't adding anything to the dispute. They are just a random comment and a meme. Dispute threads are for comments that either help the disputer, or help the CRT. They are not for posting your thoughts on the situation. Dispute threads are usually more strictly moderated than the rest of the forum. Also, mods aren't obligated to let anyone know why a post was removed. If it was then you can be sure it was because it broke one of the rules. Furthermore, reposting a removed post is a good way to get on the bad side of the mods.

BeautifulTorment Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Can you post an example of what you said here? If it was unhelpful, off topic, or unnecessarily antagonistic it would be removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Helyx Posted January 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 4, 2022 Usually when my posts get deleted, it's because it was unnecessary and/or irrelevant to the main discussion. Also memes, tomfoolery and general butt-fuckery are fairly quickly removed (and rightfully so). Mods do a good job here, and keep us turkeys in check. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would argue that my statement that GTA V online on PS3 is ruinous to the status of that particular trophy list on this site isn't "random", as it's at least somewhat germane to the topic at hand, but that's not really important, as I now understand what was wrong, and why the posts were removed. Thank you for the response. You know what kind of sucks? People that cheat are bad enough, but then when they get caught and start lying....badly....lying badly about it....It's like getting an invitation to a party I am banned from attending. ?

It isn’t a party. Nor should it be. Enforcement of the rules is necessary. Strutting, jeering and heckling from the gallery isn’t. The site has a right to enforce its rules, but it doesn’t have the right to sit idly by while the disputer is publicly humiliated by bystanders. The disputers are already being punished for their transgressions of the site rules by being banned from the leaderboards - they don’t need to endure additional shaming by bystanders and lookie-loos - and it’s right that the site do all it can to minimise that stuff if it isn’t absolutely necessary to the task at hand. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please. You are taking an off-hand comment too seriously. I know it's not a party. I said "like a party" Similes and whatnot. Strutting, jeering and heckling.....Hyperbole much? And if some gork can't participate in leisure activities, ie, games, without cheating, and then also doubles down on said cheating by lying, I reserve the right to pass judgment on them, even if I can't, and won't, express my disdain on this site. Which I clearly said I would not do. Did you miss this? "- More strictly moderated. - Only to help the disputer or the CRT Understood.
