"Report To Moderator"
« on: December 28, 2012, 10:10:35 AM »
Been cleaning up a lot of threads from the past few days when I was in Paris.

I see lots of posts from people saying where a post should have been made or just "repost."

It would be much more effective to just use the "Report To Moderator" button and then post a link to the thread where you think the post in question should be moved to.  The button can be found at the bottom of every single post.

Thanks!

That's fine, but if you care about forum clutter then do both.

It might be time to add another active Moderator? Anyone agree? #NoOffense

Paging AsherO   :D :P
It's not about the quantity of your posts.  It's about the quality.

When a forum member requests that his/her own post be removed and it doesn't happen, got me actually wondering recently if the "report to moderator" button was still working ::)
I'd think it's one of the easier things for a mod' to do..

I would guess the reason you can't delete it yourself after a certain amount of time if because it would become a PITA to follow conversations therefore unless there is a compelling reason to delete the post  the mods won't just delete it at your request
(even if that's not why you can't delete your old posts it would defeat whatever purpose was being had by you being unable to delete your posts if they would just get deleted every time you asked the mods)

That.
For example to remove a post because someone made a mistake when people have already called him out on it is generally not going to happen.

Is that why "DDF DO: Jerusalem Edition" didn't get a cleanup?

Hey, I'm a very easygoing guy - I'm happy in my dirty diaper. It's the other kids in the playgroup that wanted to be changed... :P

Why not?
So here "the mod" ( ::) ;) ) can be mommy
That's because I'm not going to mommy every single thread.  You made a mess of it and now you gotta' deal with it :P
And here not??

Why not just delete any post that when that very person who posted it ask that it be deleted?
Simple.

I know it's quite entertaining, but still..  ;D

Someone trying to "teach us accountability" here??!   Please.
