So, another thread and series of posts removed with absolutely no explanations given....:rolleyes:
Is the word "Raj" now banned from the site? If so, we need a sticky thread. Oh wait,,,,it was a sticky thread that got deleted. So here's the readers digest version of what I posted last night:
These heavy handed attempts to sweep the Registry's dirty laundry under the internet rug only does a disservice to the members. Locking threads is one thing. It's a good tool to handle situations but, erasing threads is a serious flaw in someone's thought process. If an individual needs to be "moderated" do it with PMs, warnings, timeouts, whatever.. When one arbitrarily controls "history", the truth is NEVER served. How are new members supposed to navigate pitfalls in our hobby if the pitfalls are removed from investigation?
All that is being done is allowing future individuals to be burned and all for the sake of "perception". I like to think that the overwhelming majority of the individuals that contribute to this site are more than mature enough to regulate themselves in a civil manner. We don't need Nannys. Lastly, this site is paid for in part by members of the Registry so, I would expect Moderation to think of themselves more in the terms of Stewardship of the contents of the Forum rather than Ownership.
Thought this needed to be said since there was no courtesy shown to those trying to help diffuse a confrontation between a member and another infrequent poster.
