We now have a big job. It is not often but sometimes we do miss things. You can be sure there is no favorites being played. Several have said they were PMed. One Mod has shared his story.

Sugestion:
Prior to Moderation I PMed Charles several times on websites. I am one of the EARLY risers. Carlson1 did the same. He is the night shift.
Occasionally I receive a PM asking "What about this post." I go check it out.
About 3 weeks ago was the last time I got one of those.
If you see something we miss, call it to our attention & we will quickly & gladly look at it.
With way over a hundred posts a day now we can miss something.
Now sir,
You have had your public say, others have given their input about our fairness, I respectfully ask you to quit you public whining.
LT.
Thank you longtooth for pointing out exactly the mindset of what I was referring to. First off, the see, hear or speak no evil doesn't totally sit with me. That post with the language has been viewed almost 2000 times, so nobody else was concerned about the 10yo rule for over 24hrs??

Also, I thought I was writing in a topic which was relevant to my discussion with a different observation. So now all of a sudden, I'm whining? How about 2 lines; we missed that. Good catch, sorry.
Now, The truth shedding light on a little hyprocrisy is met with public chastising. So tell me where I was off topic?

For some of those that feel that there is a heavy hand in editing, I would like to point out that seldom do we actually edit a post manually. However, I would like to point out that the forum software has been programmed to detect certain words and phrases and replace them with more 10YOD-acceptable ones. These are automatic and not the result of a big-brother moderator looking over your shoulder, so you will not get a PM if this happens.
That is fine. But there is a post in the CHL discussions about the metro incident on Page 4 which has been there for over 24 hours with language plain as day which is not 10yo language. Obviously the program didn't catch it, and I have recieved a PM instantly out of the blue, longtime ago about using the same word. It was edited.
So it is times like this that I was referring to where there isn't always uniformity in how discussions are moderated.

Like someone earlier referred to, that it seems like someone is looking over your shoulder and instead of monitoring language, they are editing certaing free flow of discussions and ideas which is not status quo.

I forgot to address that earlier, but I never had a problem with that. I know it is not a pay site. If you have guidelines spelled out which everyone try to adhere to and then you still have editing by someone's personal bias to what is said. Then I would question it.

Get used to it buddy. There is no free speech anymore. Only 2nd Amendment you can jump up and down about around here. But 1st. :nono:
You don't have the first clue what was behind the post deletion or what efforts have been made for several weeks prior to avoid continuing problems. Yet with no information whatsoever, you post this insult to the Moderators.

Chas.
I am only speaking from experience. I think you probably need to call a meeting with all your moderators because some members are allow to say whatever they want in this forum and then anything to contrary get the delete button. I know there is no room for cussing or derogatory statement, but any difference in opinion get BACKSPACE button or EDITED.
And if you follow this forum as much as I do you can see the trend. I know some may fear speaking up. But in my opinion, you have some Gestapo on your volunteer list.
Will I get the BACKSPACE hence forth for saying that. Will depends on which amendment we are on?

I like the forum, especially since it deals with TX issues, but at times I can believe what I see happen and read.
