ORIGINAL: wannapleez So as I noted earlier, it appears that the exchange containing the alleged offense was removed. 1. If I'm wrong, would someone please tell me what post number it starts with? It's on another thread. I would, however, really enjoy it if you would read something else instead. http://www.collarchat.com/m_4366316/tm.htm quote:
2. Would I be correct in assuming that only a moderator would have the ability to remove posts like that? Yes, that would be right. Individual users do not have the power to removed posts. Editing ability can be done by the poster of a comment for a limited time. A mod can edit a post, but as a general rule, that is only done for such things like removing alternative contact information or to take out a pic within a post that is too large and distorts the field. When a Moderator does that, it does show which Mod has done the edit. quote:
3. Assuming yes for #2, is it SOP for a moderator to remove something that might be offensive, depending on how it is interpreted? I've got no problem with that, though it does seem like an aberration. It seems that most of the time, the other posters (rightly or wrongly) sufficiently chastise the alleged offender. I hesitate to answer this because I'm sure Mods have various standards that they have to meet. Some stuff is pretty obvious and I'm sure others are interpretation. quote:
4. Assuming yes for #2, is it also SOP for the allegedly offending post to be removed with no alerting of the offender so that s/he can correct the issue (if needed), apologize (if needed), and avoid similar action in the future? This seems counter-intuitive if the goal is to achieve a better community (however you wish to define "better"). Have you happened to see other posters refer to gold mail? That's a moderator contacting a poster about having to remove a post, what the reason was, and a polite way of saying don't do it again. Anytime you get gold mail, you can ask what the content was of the post that was pulled.
