Is it just me, or have there been a number of posts disappear from the forums of late? There were a couple in the 'quote of the day' thread that vanished, along with several from a few other threads I noticed. Is the family friendly, politically correct 'big stick' being wielded a little more than usual for some reason?

I can't recall any that disappeared from that thread, they mustn't have been all that memorable. Care to remind me?

As for the big stick, I don't recall seeing any sort of constitution of democracy when I signed up. Laurie made the site, Laurie made the rules and we should be grateful for what we've got I reckon.

Ooooh, politics...

Absolutely.....I couldn't agree more. It's just that I happened to notice a couple of posts that I replied to had vanished, along with the subsequent replies. I was just curious to know if I'd missed a recent announcement that there would be tighter moderation now or something. I didn't think the posts that were pulled were that bad.....I've certainly seen worse on here!

Yes, there are always posts disappearing, and members being banned. Moderating forums is a challenging job, as written text is so open to interpretation .. it can depend on the mood of the reader, the context of the post, and the history of who wrote it.

Some posts are clear cut, such as jokes about Popes and altar boys.

Not that I recall .. but if it had inappropriate content, then yes, a user profile would be modified.

All "moderation" has one goal:

-> To keep the site a friendly and welcoming place!

hmm. Well it used to say I dislike poor spelling and grammar and for people not to be offended by that, when I changed my location last night it said 'to the left, to the left'. Ring any bells?

Otherwise I've left a cookie somewhere that someone has used to change it. But who, and where? I have my own computer with me now...

Susie, you just have to close your eyes, say it in your head and Laurie will hear you.

I find that kneeling down and placing my palms together helps too.
