Why was my post modded? A simple explanation will suffice,
I understand that my humour is too intelligent for most of the forum surfers, but surely it is very unfair to silence me.
Of course if there is a valid reason to ban my post please inform me
Too intelligent, indeed. 😛
Originally posted by PhlabibitI will accept your suggestion, though it doesn't make much sense to respond to a post without quoting it. Perhaps I can edit to make sure it's clear what I'm responding to without repeating clearly bigoted remarks. But you know I don't alert and my philosophy is to meet such garbage head on. And no, Varg, I've NEVER received the courtesy of a PM telling me why a post of mine was moderated; if I had here I wouldn't have started the thread at all. But it's interesting you would take Dodger11's word over mine when my first post made it clear that his post had been moderated (I wouldn't have needed to provide a synopsis if it was still there - DUH!) and directly stated that if such synopsis was incorrect they should post the remarks in full. Why you would want to support a ignorant bigot like Dodger11 is beyond me.
No.1... your post was also removed because your quote box quoted what RHP found racist. What is the sense in removing a racist post, but letting it stay under your name? Russ is keeping an eye on Dodger, and does not like his ideas too much. Dodger's days might be numbered at RHP, as Russ wants RHP to be comfortable for all users.
In the future, if ...[text shortened]... e online and was doing a mod cleanup.
More later once I wake up a bit, if you need more.

Having been one of i'm sure many who alerted Dodgers racist post,I thought it warranted an immediate banning from the forums,and an appology as a condition of return.As niether happened I think the mod or mods who dealt with it should be removed as he/she/they don't possess the maturity and wisdom to deal with such matters.
To top it off the idiot ...[text shortened]... o me the bigot would be banned from the site.
You don't give these type of people an audience.
I think you should probably simmer down, as matters like this take time... and the mods are not here all day, and some people get upset when you mod and ban too much, and others like you think we should mod and ban more.
It is tricky, and it would be nice if you had more understanding... cuz things like that hurt, and mods are trying to please everyone, not just you.

I really hate those posts, and if they were alerted more... I'd remove every one of them.

But both he and the mods choose not to eradicate sexism on RHP. I was going to declare that Chess is a Man Man's game and that women are rubbish and make up a tiny minority on the site, but my clan leader just might be reading this

Like I said, if we alert the post... there is a better chance it will vanish. I will also say, I stay away from that forum... and I try not to alert. I am in a position as a mod to be open minded, and wait for you users to alert things.
Damned if we do, damned if we don't.

Originally posted by PhlabibitI,m sorry if I hurt your feelings but I stand by what I said.Racism,bigotry ,hate,require zero tolerance.Take all the time you want with other issues but you can't give the people that fit these three catagories an inch because they will flaunt it in your face,as Dodger already did in this thread.
Heads must roll!

So please don't ask me to show understanding in these matters of human dignity.Hate is hate and I will never show tolerance and understanding of it.
What in Gods name has this to do with pleasing me?Far be it for us, we don't want to upset an bigot? This is not tricky stuff.
My appologies if I have said anything to offend,as it is not my intent.Mike

Originally posted by Windsor MikeI'll be ok, don't worry about that. It's just hard for me to justify banning dodger right now. His post in this thread just said what he feels... right or wrong.

I have sent warning to dodger before, about another post I had to remove. I warned him also that Russ is keeping an eye on him. I'm not sure if Russ considers it 1 strike or 2 strikes... but I will bring this all up to Russ and once I hear back... I will act.

Originally posted by VargYes, the comments are very important. More so than the numbers sometimes.

Some people want more moderation, some want less... I find it a big pickle sometimes.

Originally posted by PhlabibitI suppose it would be futile to bring up Section 6 of the utterly meaningless Terms of Service, since I know that I, myself, have broken that one on an occassion or two.

Like it or not, "Mob Justice" is the best answer to this one. Just like it was for JW and tlai.
