stimpy Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 good luck Ghozer.. shame it came to this. I do feel moderation has been a little too zealous since the buyout.I had a post deleted after stating halfway through it that "non legit version of windows 7 updated to 10 just fine" .. that was it, gone. I wasnt saying how to do it, where to get it or anything like that, just answering a question... and Bam.... I'm apparently discussing illegal activities. Bit keen on the censorship there I thought..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsure why you are bringing this up again now in July? I know, I said that You replied initially, telling me that all mods had been removed etc.... But I have not had a reply to my last response, or an answer as to how you are going to deal with sections like this now, and especially the interest groups (As users were moderating their own group that they suggested to be added, and there was a whole approval process etc) - cutting off peoples fingers here imho...

SFBeca Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 We are moderating the interest sections the same as the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamezone07 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 (edited) Sorry to hear you are leaving, valued your work and contributions. while we can discuss issues, i wish posters would start using the computer classifieds again, they were a godsend to those on low income, and very few scammers. Market place, etc is ok, but some strange sellers on there, everything is too much for them, Edited July 8, 2021 by gamezone07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, and that is against the whole idea of what the interest groups were originally about... No one on the new team seems to know (or seems to care) about the history of the Forum and the the time it's users have also put into it... Interest groups especially, the whole idea behind those was to let people run those, moderators kept things within the rules, but that was about it... like the comp and tech chat, there was a lot of things the moderation team didn't know about, and were locking threads that shouldn't have been, deleting threads that mention the slightest hint of anything even remotely close to bending the rules (which seems to be happening again) so it was handed off to me (there was other people, who had other sections in a similar fashion too) I could rename titles, lock posts, delete spam and pointless stuff, just generally help out with it.. it's not about the access, that's part of it (as I now feel I cannot keep the section as tidy as I used to, I cannot edit my own pinned post, I cannot remove it, or pin others to update (same as the pinned in the gamers group), that and how the whole thing has been handled, the whole "we were given a list, you weren't on it" fair enough, still doesn't change how it was done, and how you since responded.... its more that it feels like its now a business, rather than a community forum that just runs ads to keep itself running.

Honestly I understand you are annoyed, but everything we have done has been in the interest of the Forum, and want it to be an active community in which people can have interesting conversations. Unsure what you mean with deleting threads is happening again, because it isn't, as you can see from this, I haven't deleted any comments and I'm happy to answer to any issues people have. I think it is time to draw a line under this now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
