The admins aren't the only ones that can delete comments. We aren't going to change that. The post deletions have a drop down box of reasons.. not just the one. This is to minimize the time spent monitoring posts. If the admin feels they should respond more than the one they picked from the drop down, then they can (at there option) go to your profile and add more information. I know many of them do take the time to send more of a message unless the post is clearly out of line. |

The one thing I have wondered about is why old posts that were made like a year ago all of the sudden get deleted. Why, if the post was ok then, it isn't now? AND, most of the time, it's a complete surprise to the author.  |

many do radman, and like I said, I really appreciate that. But not all of them do. Like last week when I had a reply deleted (that wasn't done by the author,) and every subsequent attemp on my part to figure out why was deleted, all without explanation.  |

I checked your comment from 3/6 and I believe it was deleted by mistake.  |

BB there are many reasons for this. The author needs the post deleted for various reasons (although we stongly discourage this as it affects our link ranking). Or a person complains about the content of the post saying it is offensive and we re-review it. Or we discover that the post really shouldn't have been approved. We are committed to the g-rating. We also really try to keep all of the posts intact on the site. As you can see from the dates on the posts going back many years. |

I've never had anything deleted unless I requested it myself. I've only had one post changed and that was because a word I used offended someone. Instead of deleting, she changed the word then pm'd me to let me know. Guess I've been lucky. I think you propose a good idea though. We should be informed. It may keep people from making the same mistake over and over.  |

Exactly Apryl. And radman, then why were each of my requests as to why it was deleted then deleted without explanation? Were they accidental too? I can admit it my reply was bad, or needed to be deleted, if I can understand why. But sometimes I don't understand and don't always get reasons why either. |

If I delete a post or comment in the religious section I almost always personally message the person. I figure if they can take the time to post or comment I can take the time to tell them why I deleted it. And if I can't tell them why I deleted something in that section then maybe I shouldn't have deleted it to begin with.  |

radman, I can understand that. But the author told me that she didn't delete any of my replies, and that she understood why I was asking. She didn't delete them, so an admin must have. It would have been simple for said admin to just say why, and I would have at been least informed. If it was a mistake, I coulda reposted it while the post was still active. Now my thoughts and opinoins (and feelings) are treated like they don't matter. |
Date: 3/16/2006 3:26:00 PM ( Admin )
If the admins have to be subjected to review of everything they do then I have chosen the wrong admins. If there is a problem with anything the admins do then it is my fault. I am not going to look over their shoulders and examine what they do or why. I have trust in them to do the right thing. They may not always do the right thing, but I know it is their intention. I do apologize for any hurt feelings that have been caused by deletions of comments or posts. We are trying our best to help make things good for everyone. That is why the largest part of our admin team is mothers.

BB, that's a fair questions. I personally believe, with no scientific evidence to support it, that most mothers are more sensitive to what their children are exposed to than their fathers are.

deja vue . I have not an excellent memory, but I'd say a very good one, and I remember Eddo ranting on about and or asking basically the same things several times before. And then, Radman answering many of the same questions; going into detail, over and over again, but it always seems to turn into a 'but...but....but...but why this, that, why why why...whut didja mean by..." I've watched these exchanges many times, such as this post, and I want to SCREAM out: NO ONE IS PERFECT! Radman & Ginger , the people they choose (admin's) are not perfect. No one is ever going to please everyone, all the time , 24/7. This is a great site, but it isn't perfect. Now, as one who has had a lot of stuff over 5 years deleted, I rarely had maybe but one or two things deleted where "I, MYSELF" didn't know WHY they were deleted. I am one who really doesn't even need an admin to send me notice of why a post or reply was deleted. I KNOW the RULES. Out of many thousands of comments and or I have no idea how many posts I've made, there was only maybe a couple where I felt they were deleted because of a bias on an admins part, but big deal, so what, anything can happen when you got so many people and so many posts and so little time and NO ONE IS PERFECT. G&Ginger , and admin's can't be everyone's babysitter. I've seen some of the most ridiculous questions ask about deletions when all the person needs to do is go and READ the FAQ, or RE-read it. If they do not understand the rules listed then they could message a particular admin, or some old timer that is been around here for a long time.  Really, accept Radman's explainations here; his reasons, and don't be push push pushing for more more more. Especially those who been around here as long as Eddo and some people replying on this post. And don't know body go getting any funny notions that is some sort of suck-up reply here. They'd be dead wrong. I just believe Radman to be an honest and most caring man. But he is human, and he does the best he can. He tries to always be fair even though many people maybe can't see that. He tries to look at the big picture; the future, in the best light , the best outcome for EVERYBODY. And Eddo, you're adorable, you're funny, you're a lot of good things, but by golly sometimes you can be a real nudgenik. (<<<<~~~~~Yiddish for irritating nitpicker)

Cat, I really don't think this post had anything to do with Radmans ablity or inablity to do his best. This post was a simple post about why it's so hard for an admin to just take a few extra minutes to send a real, live personal message as to why something was deleted. The way I see it is if someone is asked to be an admin and they accept the job, they should accept it with pride and do everything within thier power to do the best job they can. Is it too much to ask to type out a three sentence message explaining why something was deleted? So you don't need an explaination. Not everyone is like you. Some people like things answered. |

Hi babiebec, I understand what you're saying but typing an explanation other than the drop down standard most likely would not be understood, which leads to further questions, which leads to further typing explanations, which leads to more misunderstanding which.. well, you know how that goes. Yes, I agree with you in that I think MORE admins could be just a tad bit more interactive ; and maybe they are with certain people, or certain friends on the site? Maybe some are afraid of further possible confrontation? other than the initial canned, standard drop down reply. That make sense? |

BB IMHO in a perfect world everyone would run everything the way I think it should be run. Yes, I think that an Admin should message a person because it is a volunteer position and if they cannot hack it they can unvolunteer. I also think that admins should never show any bias when it comes to anything. The problem is this isn't my site. This isn't your site. This isn't Eddo's site. This is George and Ginger's site and though I may not agree with the way things are done I cannot make them change it. They see it fit that it will be best run this way and case is closed. Not that I will not whine about it myself but that is me as well. Anyway, I know it is inevidably pointless to some extent to try to point out what I perceive as a flaw. I would hope someone else could see it yes, but its not going to really change anything. I have avoided getting involved in anything for a reason and have actually stopped caring as much. I might flare up again but most likely not. It gets me no where and tomorro might bring a new Admin that just might be to me worse. It is not my choice to pick them. It is not my choice that they conduct themselves like other sites conduct admins or even I have conducted myself as one. It is Ginger's choice and George's. In reality on the surface in my opinion the idea is actually a good one. Get a wide variety of people that might have different views and might see something someone else would miss. The variance really is a good idea but even if it was perfect to me someone else would find something wrong with it which is basically the same as picking alot of different admins because what one doesn't see, another might. Now if I do not have a grievance another might. Same concept. There are a host of things in my opinion that could be tweaked to be better in my own eyes but I am sure someone else somewhere would find something wrong with it. There will always be replies and posts deleted for who knows what reason that is in the mind of the person deleting. It is not George's job to second guess the people he chooses to do the deleting. Only to choose them. Who are we to say he made the wrong choice when its his choice to make. It will not make a difference and if he made a choice we wanted someone else might feel that was the wrong choice. He does do the best he can so you now have the choice to Give Up, Accept It, and Go on posting; Give up, Dislike it vehemously,periodically leave the site to take a breather, and then come back until you cannot stand it anymore or blow up again; Coninuously Fight it out and get no where anyway. |

I am an admin that will profile anyone and tell them my reasons for deleting a story or even a comment of theirs, off any post. I take the time because I have the time, and feel like doing it even though we are told it is not necessary.. It will not change my decision to restore the post however, if you come and profile me with your concerns about it. I do not delete things lightly and carelessly. I have been an admin here for many, many years, and I know what is acceptable and definitely what is not. I WILL confront each of you out there with a reason other than the one given automatically. I CAN TELL YOU EDDO, people DO harrass the admins very much around here when their stories or comments are deleted... as if USM OWES THEM the right to post non g rated materials or add 'covered up ' swear words. Most do not read the faq page, as they feel they already know everything.. it is just another website, right?? That does not shake me away from giving a reason to the person.

I agree that there should be a message sent to let the author know why replies/posts are deleted. I've also wondered about this: the admins are people, too- and subject to their own opinions, which do vary. So when one admin lets something slide, but another (say, an hour later) says, "Oh, no way," it's kind of frustrating. I know it would take time and a little more work, but I always figured more than one admin should agree on the deletion of particular posts (not replies, so much). On the same token, I've wondered if the first few admins to see a somewhat controversial post wouldn't be willing to thumb it up or down from the get-go. "Yes this is appropriate," or "No, this post has to go."  |

I have always felt this way in the 5+ years that I have been here. I am saying this as A MEMBER of this site & for no other reason, which I'm sure will come up.  |

Vadia, I am not after G & G justifying anything, I saw something that I thought might help things out, so I made a suggestion. Isn't that what the site suggestion catergory is for? |

I can see that "deleting" a comment from you will mean, three of four more comments asking "Why? Why?"......on the post in question, then something like this post. *rolls eyes* It happens to everyone, they deal with it & move on. |

What are you talking about SC? If I don't understand why somethign was deleted, it broke no rules, and I get no explanation, according to you I should just suck it up and "move on?" Sorry, I don't think so. Like I said, if I broke a rule, I can accept that and learn, if I am told about it. It just being deleted does me (nor the admins who are likely to get frustrated at me for continually breaking a rule that I am unaware that I am breaking) any good. But anyway, thanks so much for your valuable input. I have a feeling that I now understand which religious catergory monitor deleted my replies without reason... |

No one-not Admin, nor Monitor deletes without a reason. Otherwise Radman would not have us, (as he made perfectly clear.) As to being "harassed"- I am not the slightest bit concerned here on USM about that happening. |

guess I shoulda said "I have a feeling that I now understand which religious catergory monitor deleted my replies without good reason or willingness to explain... " My bad. |

"I can see that "deleting" a comment from you will mean, three of four more comments asking "Why? Why?"......on the post in question, then something like this post. *rolls eyes* It happens to everyone, they deal with it & move on." AND THAT is the attitude that annoy a lot of members here when dealing with admins or monitors. Nice attitude. Doesn't that reflect on Radman? |

well I for one always give a reason to the author when I delete a story... I do not always give a reason when I delete a comment. But then I figure when I delete a comment it is obvious why I deleted the comment... I don't delete comments for nothing... I don't delete for personal reasons I only delete for "bad" words, or personal attacks from one member to another... and often I ask other admins what their opinion is before I delete something that I figure might be my personality and not offensive to all... one other thing that people don't consider is that when we "check" stories, we aren't just reading random posts, we are checking all new stories or comments made in a particular hour, so often the comments aren't reviewed as a whole but are individual.... the story that Eddo commented on I didn't do, and don't know who did, but I have more than once deleted a comment that was a mistake, in which case I will copy and paste it to the author's profile so that they can re-post it if they want to... mistakes happen... and as for the accountability thing people are talking about... nothing wrong with accountability, but if people want to make an issue of something and argue it, why bother... not everyone is going to be happy... just my two or three cents |
