Re: You were asking a private question inside a public forum

I have emailed you several times about the problems on the debate boards, concerning certain posters, and you have ignored those emails. This led me to believe that you would not answer private emails, so I did not bother.

The moderator concerned, has publicly said that she will not answer private emails, and that if we have a concern we must post it publicly on the forum, (so she can then delete our concerns). We have been told that if we disagree with a moderating decision, we must put our concerns out in public, and make a case for ourselves, that she will consider or not. This is a bit hard to do when you are banned from posting, and your posts get deleted.

This is why I posted the concern about user numbers with no posting history, on the forum, and then on your forum. I realised that it may be sensitive to post someones user number and name, so I modified my question, after they kept getting deleted, to simply asking why the user numbers concerned had no posting history.

This could have easily been answered, instead of being constantly deleted. Just as Wombat explained it was people using the privacy manager function. The moderator could have easily explained this, instead of simply deleting my posts.

There is censorship going on on these forums, not moderating. This is my concern, and the concern of many others. This issue is not being addressed, and people are leaving because of this.
