Censorship

[Jantar]

Following some comments on the thread "Is it illegal to ZING on your bike?" http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...&page=11&pp=15 , Could I suggest that where moderators feel that a post should be deleted for whatever reason, that they insert a new post along the lines of "'s post on xxxxxx deleted because of......."

That would give the owner of that post an idea of where they have transgressed, and the rest of us at least would have some inkling of what was going on.

cencorship is EVIL--praticed only in worst case situations--and usuallyb a Pm is sent to the person whose post is edited

I agree, censorship without explanation is wrong, just so damn wrong.

[Brian d marge]

I wondered that ..I sure I had hit send and it had not appeared when i went to read the thread later .. I mean if that is the case thats terrible ...I know I post some garbage , but thats what the little scrolly thing on the mouse does ...scrolls straight past the crap ....

Tell me me it aint true ,,,and that censorship is alive and kicking here???

Now I didn't think of that, I posted something recently that wasn't there the next time I checked the thread, just thought my computer had crashed. (Quite often I post something and not check the thread). I suppose what I thought I had posted could of been taken the wrong way, but it was by no means a piss take, the situation was fact based.

So have any mod's deleted any of my posts? Say in Korea's first thread?

Fraser if anyone has deleted any of your posts they would have informed you of that. Editing of thread/posts are not that common. Moderators work on guidelines that have been set out for them, a general delete would not happen.

Joni - I know that I had a thread edited and was not informed of this fact by the moderator.

It was in Gareth_D's thread about washing bikes..
I had in fact QUOTED his whole message.. and yes I checked it.
Then later on it was edited down to just what he was quoting to do the job.
Now I did not edit it myself...

I have since gone back in and in the EDIT and reason why I have stated that my post was edited but not by me.

Im not making a issue over it, as its long gone... but some one did edit my post, and I just wanted to let you know that not all moderators let the person know that they have edited it.

Cheers.

I can answer some of that Crashe. Not sure if I've edited one of yours but I go in every now and then and remove unneccesary quoting (quoteing the post directly above or the whole post when only responding to part of it ect, ect.) That's all I do without telling the originator first and I hardly ever change the actuall content of the post.

I don't edit for content like cursing and that unless I get 3 reported messages things and usually someone else gets to it before me. I also tend to send a PM for the first report giving them a sort of warning and the second one I ask them to edit it. Third one is where I go and do it.

Reported messages ?? what are these "reported messages " ?? Is there some sort of reporting system ?? Or are some people running off to find a mod and crying "oh oh oh he said a rude word wahhhhh " ?

Usually a bit more serious than that Ixion. An example, that vid that LiazTZ posted a while back that so many peaple got upset about the one where the cats were being tortured or something like that (never watched it)



And thanks for that John, ya beat me cause my net speed is crap right now lol.

TOO MUCH PORN EH?

Whoops I quoted the whole thing.

/runs away laughing.

That was just an example of not what to do on kb or else the deadly doomclouds of moderation will absorb your post.

[Waylander]

Lucky for you I have no control over this forum. Unlucky that someone who will probably edit and bad rep you does.

quoting the last post is usually deleted --the reason being quite simply because it all uses up space in the bosses puter-Hey Im no technogeek I dont know the right words.
One other reason is a newer member giving out personal details without thinking about what they are doing. -A PM is sent to the poster and if they are still happy to post the personal stuff then they are welcolm to.
Keep in mind folks --admin aint a paid job and its usually pretty darned thankless. dambed if we do dambed if we don't
