OK this is so not cool

I just had a post deleted from DoA for no apparent reason. o_O

thread

All I did was bump and say that I hope Marsh gets her head soon. People commiserate and bump other threads about people trying to get their paid for items from sellers and I didn't say anything nasty about the seller in question, just that I hope Marsh soon gets her head. O_o

EDIT: And now Gina's post has been deleted too o_O

what I'm saying though, is, that because this thread was getting heated, it was being monitored. (ie that moderators get a "notice" when the thread recieves a post.). Other threads that you are talking about (I'm not aware of any specific ones) but unless we are aware of them, we wouldnt recieve notice of them, and thus wouldnt be monitoring it at close. If that makes sense, so it is simply because we are aware of the thread, and not becuase Marsh is somehow particular.

and we have been pming Marsh...

When I last spoke to Marsh, she was not in contact with any of the mods. This was also more than a day ago, since it is Passover, and I have been very busy with RL things that take precident. ^^;;

I'm really glad to know though that the mods and Marsh are all talking with one another now. :) I am sure it is likely to help the situation improve and hopefully everything will work out. Marsh will receive her head and the problems with the seller will prove to still be reliable.

Ahhhhhh, see non-mods do not necessarily know that is the procedure. I truly think a little more communication in this situation would have helped a lot. ^^;; I know I wouldn't have posted in my LJ if a mod had PMed me when my post was deleted. ^^;

BTW out of curiosity how does one report a thread which ought to be monitored in the future? There was a FCS thread a while ago that got a little out of hand. ^^;

The thing is that we just can't pm a person everytime we delete a post, we just don't have time to do that. I understand and appreciate what you are saying, though.

The report a post/thread feature is the little red and white triangle:

It's right under a user's avatar when they post. If you think that a thread is going the wrong direction, then you can use that. It will notify _all_ the moderators of the thread, and we'll bring it up for discussion in the mod den if nessesary, and/or take action on the thread if we agree that it's a problem.

you can also use it to report things that aren't "bad" though, they could just be two threads in need of merging, or a thread that's in the wrong forum.

I do hope that Marsh gets her head, but we can't help with that. :(

I do understand that it is impossible to PM everyone when a post gets deleted, as I am sure that happens often enough. An earlier post of mine was deleted from this thread, but I could understand why, because it was in response to some off-topic and rather fiery remarks, and so it didn't bother me at all.

But in this particular case, it just was very disconcerting, as I have seen so many people make similar comments wishing someone well.

Thank you for the information on alerting mods to threads as well as advice on merging/moving threads. I appreciate it. :)

I also appreciate you taking the time to read my LJ and respond to comments. :)
