Deleted posts

[Puggit]

Would a mod kindly let me know what offences I have actually committed in the Russia thread with some clear evidence? Your emails, to put it bluntly, contain no worthwhile information. You cannot tell people to stop offending and threaten bans if you don't tell them what they're doing wrong, that's parenting 101.

Can you also please check it was me - as one of them doesn't look like something I wrote...

Probably similar to https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

Certainly is in that I got the Mon-Fri 9-5 cop out

FWIW I didn’t remove them, but looking at the reports they were deemed to be in breach of Rule 16.

Both posts deleted were straight C&P with no other comment or link so I can see why the moderator took the action they did.

‘ Do not copy and paste content from newspapers, news sites or other websites. This is a breach of their copyright and any such threads will be deleted.’

Hope that clarifies for you. No Russian interference here.

I've had a look & it looks like your posts broke rule 16 https://www.pistonheads.com/rules-of-posting,
(& before you ask we haven't had an update)

And also, before you ask, we moderate reactively, we can’t possibly see every post on PH and as such rely on posts to be flagged for our attention. So if you have seen similar posts that have not been deleted, it’s not personal, it’s just that they haven’t been flagged, but yours have.

Thanks for the responses. Mods need to work on the emails sent out - they are pointless.

I agree

With the amount of reports we have to deal with, and given that the majority of our moderation is done voluntarily, it's not practical or realistic to have a personal response every single time.

We have some automation work in the pipeline to try and make it clearer why a post/thread has been deleted, which will hopefully happen later this year.

Apologies that it's not all that helpful at times right now, we recognise the frustration here.
