Censorship(post removal)

[arcon]

Am i the only one here that experiences this?. How many of you
out there have had this happen to you? Were you given a reason?
Were you contacted afterwards?

[arcon]

I predict that this thread will get locked down.
Im sure i hold the record for that.

on other boards, I've had something removed before... however, usually the moderator just edits the post, delete's everything and writes 'Removed for content'. then, either you or the mod should send a pm discussing your point of view and your intentional meaning. That way, you understand each other, and you may be allowed to riposte (sorry... bad pun) your previous statement... also, you may realize that a change in wording due to a misconception may be appropriate on your own part, and usually the mod will be more than happy to explain this to you.

Arcon -

Did you bother to contact me about this suppossed "censorship"? No.

Is this an appropriate topic for the Fencing Discussion area? - No. (At best, it is watercooler).

Are you being hunted by me? No.

Are you being paranoid? Perhaps.

Have I mentioned before that sometimes the database server restarts and then loses a thread because it restarts at the same time another server process is attempting to write to a thread, causing the thread id to be deleted from the thread table due to db corruption? Yes.

Has this been explained/mentioned to you in a post where you were asking about suppossed "terrorism" on another part of the forum? Yes.

Will you contact me next time before bringing phantoms of censorship to a public forum? Probably not.

Cheers,
Craig

Yes, ill do my best to contact you first.
Why dont you contact me before deleting a post and let me
know whats wrong if you feel that im entitled to that much consideration. I may not be. Its your site.

P.s. I didnt and wouldnt read the entire thread and then post

I just read this entire thread and all i can say is "Wow".

I posted after that(as i often do) with my take on the subject and all the debating.
I even checked it (viewed) to see it posted. I do this after every
post.

[arcon]

Im not paranoid here by the way. Ask some of the old timers
here how many times my threads have been closed and my post removed.
Yes, this belongs in the Cooler.
I admit i was a bit upset and put it in the wrong place.
Sorry.

If you want to complain, then pm or email me with:

Thread title.
When thread went missing.

This term was used for hackers. Read the paper or listen to the news about what (sometimes takes place in the land of Cyber Space). People have had their identities stolen their email compromised....etc.etc. How do any of us know that we are
completely safe. We dont. This is not being paranoid, thankyou.'
It was just a statement i made because we are not at the controls and we are in your hands and we dont always know
whats going on or who (could)be doing it.
im done. Guess i watch to much Dennis Miller. Need to quit.

[arcon]

Ok, Craig, I will.

[arcon]

Its a post not a thread.

If you read my somewhat sarcastic summation of the thread
"how do you handle this type of fencer" posted 11-04-03
please pm me .

thanks Arcon
