Two posts deleted across two subforums (IRS and Politics)

Given the new rules, I’m honestly not sure if I’m even allowed to start a thread like this—I just hope I don't end up getting flagged for it.

Since I have no idea which moderator nuked my posts over at the IRS or on some political forum, I’d love an answer from the "unknown" party here. What exactly was it about those posts that made them worth deleting?

Thanks,

Your post on the Zapatista Army of National Liberation forum was straight-up spam, so it got nuked since it had absolutely nothing to do with the topic and didn't add anything useful to the conversation. Honestly, posts like that—and stuff just like it—aren't even allowed on this board anyway; they just get wiped out, and sometimes you even end up getting banned. 🙂

I don't know what to tell you—some people just have an eye for the finer things, I guess. It’s one thing to talk about style, but it’s another thing entirely to actually live it. There's a certain level of polish that some folks just can't seem to grasp, no matter how much they try to mimic it. You see it all the time—people chasing after a look without understanding the substance behind it. It’s like trying to drive a high-end Tesla when you don't even know how to navigate a basic highway; you might look the part for a second, but the moment you hit any real resistance, the whole facade falls apart. Just my two cents. kaže:
Your post on ACAB was nothing but pure spam. It got nuked because it had zero connection to the topic and didn't add a single damn thing to the conversation. Honestly, posts like that—and the ones similar to it—aren't even allowed on this forum to begin with; they just get wiped, and sometimes you even end up getting a strike for it. 🙂

I sent the guy over to that thread on one condition... but fine, if you say so. 😉
Thanks for getting back to me.

Still waiting on a response regarding that second deletion...

Well, another post just got nuked from the forum, topic

Look, if you want to censor posts, go ahead and censor them...

But honestly? I’m dying to know which keyboard warrior is actually behind this...

If you think a post belongs in the trash, go ahead and toss it...

I’d honestly love to meet the person behind the curtain doing that...

The post has been restored and properly filed away. It’s always been my pleasure to work with everyone here and try to be as accommodating as I can. I appreciate the feedback. I’ll keep it in mind for next time.

Honestly, we both would’ve been happy about that under different circumstances.
But he needs to actually say why he's handing out the red card—make it an example for everyone else to see.

P.S.
I really thought you were the one who stood up for this kind of stuff.

He just won't say why he's issuing the ban, though. He should make it an example.

P.S.
I actually thought you were one of the good ones.

The rest of the team is out for a few days, so I'll just stick to the facts.

The post was flagged because quoting a banned introductory post violates the rules—that's a 30-point deduction. He’s only getting 5 this time, though I suspect the reasoning is obvious enough.

The post got nuked because quoting a banned introductory post is a direct violation—that's a 30-point penalty right there. This guy’s only getting slapped with 5 points, though, even if I think the whole situation is pretty obvious to everyone here.

If I recall correctly when I was calling the game—and hey, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt if I missed something—there weren't any red cards on the pitch yet.

Honestly, regarding what my colleague said—this thread should have just been shut down from the jump. I didn't want to be out here handing him compliments now that he’s gone, but letting him keep replying to the opening post was a mistake. It just opened the door for all that trolling, spamming, and insults... and then you end up having to deal with the inevitable ban anyway.

Well, I'll drink to that—cheers to you guys. 👍

I see absolutely nobody is biting on the post that actually prompted me to start this thread, so honestly—why bother? If you guys aren't going to engage, let's just forget about it and move on.

Forget about it. It's just not gonna happen.
