Resolved - Notification of Moderation
Hello
I understand and appreciate the need for moderating the forum.
While overall the issue was handled appropriately, in the future I would like a PM from the moderator who modifies or deletes my posts. I dont believe that is asking too much. thanks

Re: Notification of Moderation
It was in this thread.
viewtopic.php?f=10&t=315&p=14566#p14521
After you speak to your moderators you can pm me if you need more information.
I now see that the issue has resurrected, although the original posts are still gone, and the timestamp of the latest post is confusing, although it could be a caching issue. The timing does not agree with the email notifications I get from the forum nor was the post there when I received a notification that there was a reply to my post. (Although the post before mine, my post, and the post after had been removed) Now I am requesting that my post be reinstated, or the entire issue be removed thanks
ps.
When looking at the Moderator list I see some are in Green and some are not. What is the difference ? I also see that at least one moderator is hiding when they last visited the site. I have a hard time finding a suitable reason why a moderator would need to hide that information, particularly on a board of this nature.
I made a factual , professional, non offensive, non personal post about a statement that was posted. It concerned the requirement to pay monies to load firmware on a 9x . It wasnt directed at the person posting, it was firmly focused at the issue. However at this time it feels as if some type of game is being played. I'm not interested in playing.
Sorry for taking up your time with this, and thanks.
I participate in a lot of forums and have a general Idea of what moderation / moderator conduct will grow a vibrant community with open , helpful communications.
The comment in this thread about requesting a refund is uncalled for and personal in nature, besides being uninformed.

Re: Notification of Moderation
Right...
Moving forwards any posts that get deleted.. will end up in a trash can. that way they can be reviewed and undeleted.
RE the moderator who nuked the post - I have no idea what was in it, but assume they may have felt it was offensive. But agreed - ideally you should have been pm'd.

Re: Notification of Moderation
Yes. I was having a little fun with this since I'm not sure how a fun hobby about modifying an inexpensive TX got so serious?
Sorry about that. I work in Hollywood on shows where goofing on people is so common I/we forget that not everyone laughs with us. With out this option prime time TV would be "more" infomercials.
I'm sorry if it was inappropriate but I was confused by the post since Rob has been very understanding with us all so far that I was sure it was nothing going on.
Please repost what questions you need help with and I'm sure you'll get the best of answers.

Re: Notification of Moderation
Hey, where'd the rating and thanks list come from?
Re: Notification of Moderation
Also, thank you for adding the trash can. We don't have to delete things often but it will help to be able to see what was deleted in the future.

Can you get the moderator who removed my post to PM me , detailing why my post was deleted ? That way the issue wont be repeated and I could consider it moderation and not censorship.
Thanks

Re: Notification of Moderation
To be honest Randy, I do not think that is necessary.
I appreciate that you may feel a peaved that your post was 'moderated'. At a result of this I have put in the trash can to allow the post to be recovered and reviewed if required. This will help address things moving forward.
To require someone to contact you with what would amount to little more than a forced apology is simply stirring up a problem. Further more it places me in a position where I am being required to act as a 'policeman', and having to 'tell someone who volunteers there time for free as a moderator' for having made a choice that may or may not have been wrong; regarding a message that I have not even seen!
Yes.. if we where a full blown business and had business requiring what amounts to 'damage control' I could understand the need. This however is a community forum, and mistakes may happen from time to time. Fortunately this is not something that occurs particularly often.
Remember. Moderators do not make money. They simply operate on a good will basis to try and ensure things doing get out of hand, and that posts end up in the correct sections of the forum. From time to time, they may get things wrong.

Re: Notification of Moderation
Thanks again for your time and effort.
It was an explanation, not an apology, that I was seeking and your clarification of the event provided that for me. Marking this thread as resolved.
