the 1 i made yesterday about selling my tv and stuff for runescape gp?
probably got deleted coz it wasnt serious
mine was the only 1 deleted :S
and it was serious, I have sold 2 xbox games so far
there were loads of people posting stupid ones like they were selling their bed and cars
youre probably got mistaken/was one of those
id suggest you make it again if you still want it
But if the user remakes won't it be deleted again ?
not if its serious, unless its breaking the rules or something which i dont see how it could beQuote:

Please remember that threads are never deleted, they are just moved to a secret ''Trash can''.
i got no infraction for it, this is why im confussed they didnt even bother telling me it was deleted
It was deleted because it wasn't a serious thread, I could tell that by your post along with everyone else's in the thread.
You didn't get a infraction as it isn't an infraction offence.
just cos ppl made fun of me doesnt mean it isnt serious
From what I heard there was posts saying users were selling their beds for Runescape etc which isn't serious.Quote:

Beacuse what your attempting to do is against the forum rules. Which i am aware you have been contacted about.

It's not allowed. Anyone attempting to do so will be dealt with. If you find any, report the post.
what rule is it?Quote:

If you would allow me to make it understandable that the moderators on this forum mainly rely on post reports because of how busy the forum is. Moderators can't go around looking at EVERY thread that was created to look for problems, it would take too long and the problems that need attending will be delayed more. So to be more effective in the area of moderation, they encourage users to report rule breaking posts and threads, by doing it this way, it's going to get the problem sorted out quicker and it's easier for the moderator to deal with, see and prioritise the more serious problems above the lesser serious problems.Quote:

This is what I've been told from authorities and that's my understanding of how the moderators work here.
Plus this would be general common sense for any forum as big as this to use this moderating strategy. =]
I would like to add we don't purely work on post reports although they are a huge part. Personally whenever I come online I view all the threads in my section and moderate what needs moderating. Then every few minutes I just reload to see what is there. I do check my emails for reported posts but I am rarely on messenger apart from at night which means I cannot really rely on them all the time. Saying that lots of moderators do rely on them and I know that Super Mods rely on post reports a lot more because it is impossible for them to check every thread manually for rule breaking.Quote:

Well I must also agree there. I know moderators like you that only have some forums to moderate so it would be easier for you to go and check the threads in those forums, you don't have as many to look after. I suppose my comment was very much for the Super Moderator since he was replying to a Super Moderator.Quote:

What I dont get is there was 2-3 other threads the same as mine but they are still open and mine gets deleted :S
Probably because the moderators haven't seen it yet. I suggest what Yoshi suggested and report them. It's really easy. =]Quote:

Okay, let me explain a couple of solutions as to why the other threads didn't get removed from the public forum:Quote:

I would think when moderators are dealing with post reports they would just look at the post reports and not worry about going to the thread next to the one they are checking for bad content, which would be reasonable if you're just going through post reports, this is probably something a Super Moderator would more likely do as they moderate all the forums as pointed out by Favouritsm. The forum moderators that only moderate selected forums may roam around their own forums and depending on the activity, they could have seen yours and went onto other things, maybe they logged off, something could have happened there.
Maybe it was dealt with by a Forum Super Moderator and they were just going through post reports or if it was a Forum Moderator, it's possible they could have done the same thing and the other threads haven't been reported yet so they haven't seen it. This also reflects on the amount of activity on the forum the moderators have to cater for.
I would gather the threads weren't reported so they don't stand out to the moderators as much.
You can't blame the moderators since they do have a lot to care for in a busy forum like this. I do agree that the threads need looking at if they are breaking the rules.
So again, I would suggest what has been suggested and report it so they do get dealt with.
