I have a few questions ---
1st question - Why are posts removed without the member being told in advance (or at all), by way of a PM, and the reason for it's removal?
2nd question - Why are members told not to post certain types of comments in open forums, and yet staff/administration can get away with doing the same type of thing? Doesn't everyone have the same "freedom of speech"?
3rd question - Why are comments/opinions about an issue/other traders/etc posted by members removed and/or criticized openly by staff/administration at times?
4th question - Why is profanity allowed on open sites (example - d---,s---,f---,etc), and yet posts without profanity are removed (and they don't include threats,insults,etc)?
5th question - Why aren't ALL members allowed to express their opinions so long as they don't use profanity,insult, or threaten anyone?
When I was a mod I'd let members know, by way of PM, why their post was being removed from a particular thread or why a word(s) was/were removed. I did this either before, or very shortly afterwards, and I didn't criticize them on an open forum about it.
Most staff/mod's here seem to do a good job. However, some do some/all of what my questions are about. I don't expect any posted answers here, just want some thought about these questions. Have a good day.
