I need to flag up an issue here which is causing me and others some irritation.
I posted a new thread last night regarding Juliet's extraordinary performance on 960. I thought it deserved its own thread, rather than get buried in a thread about the wallpaper! Anyway, within ten minutes it had disappeared.
I then made a post within the 'wallpaper' thread about Juliet and how hot the performance was, and this morning I find that this post has also disappeared. I received no explanation in either case.
I find this unacceptable and unprofessional. There may have been reasons for the cutting but I would have liked to have heard them, even if I disagreed with them.
The new crop of mods seems to have let power go to their heads in some cases and are cutting and deleting threads willy nilly. At the very least, when a thread or post is deleted it should be standard practice to PM the poster with an explanation.
I see that other posters are having threads and posts deleted regularly. There may well be good reasons for some of the deletions but I really think the mods here are going over the top, plus the fact that to delete threads without explanation to the poster is just plain rude and makes the forum a very unfriendly place.
Funnily enough the forum was run more courteously when it was just 'admin' and a couple of helpers. Now that we have an army of mods it's all going a bit wrong.
Time for a rethink, chaps.
Edit: I've now found out from SMC the reason for the deletions! He did PM others but forgot to PM me, fair enough. Hopefully I can post this - the reason for the deletions is due to a request from Juliet herself.
