Re: Why were my posts deleted, when these posts are saying the same thing.
Well something needs to change. And I don't want to infer that they are bad people or dishonest. None of them are trolls, regardless of the rhetoric. But I do think there needs to be some serious and legitimate moderating there. And I do think the slates need to be wiped clean and for the Webmaster to give some clear and unequivical direction on what will be accepted on the debate boards and what will cause a ban. We can't have haphazard moderating here. And Spud and Peggy shouldn't be banned. But. If I was the moderator there, well I personally would be hiding a massive amount of posts.The debate boards have become out of control. And it is very easy for legitimate posters to get carried away there. I know. I spent several years on there, and I will admit that I broke the TOS more then a couple of times. It gets emotional over there.
The problem is not limited to the debate boards, which is what Spud was also trying to point out. The same problem is on the other forums. We have moderators doing what they wish, which includes deleting posts that ARE NOT in violation of TOS, allowing TOS violations to remain if it fits their needs and repeatedly violating TOS themselves instead of doing the job they are supposed to do.
I did come on here last year to make the case for Tony Isaacs to be instated as a Global Moderator. I still do think that it is a great solution to a lot of these problems. Curezone is a big site, so it needs multiple moderators, but he has paid his dues here and has moderating experience on other sites, including serious ones where people are suffering from stage 4 cancer. Hopefully the Webmaster will reconsider this request. I can't think of anyone else I would rather have here making those tough decisions. He is a pro at it.
I strongly disagree with this. Tony is the best example on CZ of the complaints I pointed out above. In fact I have seriously considered leaving CZ altogether because of Tony's severe abuse as a moderator and the webmaster's refusal to do anything about it other than to delete the complaints and evidence I posted on my own forum.
