something deleting comments on some forums

  • Strange for myself. I’m now unable to sign in with my pass word on the Safari Browser and I’ve had to sign n via the chrome browser. Also in another thread one of the regular members in here posted that they had sent me a private message. When I m private message: Nothing! Which is quite strange!

    Regards,

    Ian.

  • Obviously something going in in the background Ian...for the worse rather than the better!

  • I have managed to accept an invite to be a friend to a well known member of this forum!

    Ian.

  • Definitely something strange.

    Sorry. I meant that if the forum gets deleated I don’t think it is gremlins cause the owner of the Dunnock forum would of just deleated there account. Just in case anyone wonders why it no longer works if the forum does gets deleated

    After what you said about moderators I don’t think it’s a moderator. Could be a couple of people deleating there accounts and one of them could be a person that is wanting to deleate Robs posts and comments before deleating there acount

    An ordinary member can only delete material that they have posted or flag other people's comments and postings as Spam. To get Spam deleted enough people have to report something so that a posting or comment gets automatically deleted. Sensible software would not allow one person to report something as Spam several times but we ado know how flaky this software is as that would be about the only way one person could get another person's material deleted. 

  • I have only just joined so can only guess.......it sounds, based on what you have all written above, to have been a moderator responding to a complaint. I would also suspect they did so without discussing with Robbo as, again based on what has been written, he appeared to have been none the wiser. I'd have thought the moderator wasn't following procedures, which is a shame.

  • But it's still a Dunnock then is that what your saying lol

  • I remember when there where moderator's 7 days a week including. the evenings and you could email Mrs T (Claire) with any problems Monday-Friday and someone was always available at weekends as well. Sadly those days are long gone!
