Thread deletions without warning


Recommended Posts

Hey,

A thread I had posted icons in was deleted (or marked hidden, not sure what the proper term for it is) yesterday with a warning in my PM stating that it is against board rules to post unauthorised screenshots of icons. I chatted to that particular moderator about his decision and he restored it. Dazzla then kindly pointed out that something I had said (I said I would e-mail icons to jsutton, I hadn't obtained authorisation for the ported icons yet). I sincerely apologised about the comment and explained that I meant no wrong-doing. It WAS a dumb thing to say. Anyway, an hour later I got e-mails back from the authors I ported icons from with permission to release, so I did. After I posted them, I went to bed. I woke up this morning to find the thread gone again, but this time without anything in my PM explaining why. I didn't want to hassle mods by PM again, so I thought I'd just post here.

By the way, again, I want to state that I really am sorry for that comment, I honestly meant nothing bad by it. I would really appreciate a moderator posting in here or getting in touch with me by PM about this, if I have done something wrong again I'd like to know what it is, y'know?

Cheers,

Evan

I posted a thread one day that was closed w/ no explanation as of why until I PM'ed the mod that did it. The mod that removed your thread was probably a different mod that did not know about the situation. If you PM a mod, you will find an answer. Or at least you will be told of the mod that deleted your thread and then you can contact them.

I remember seeing the thread yesterday, it was moved and then put back - but I don't know where it is now. :s

If it was Dazzla who dealt with it, then you should PM him and hopefully he'll be able to help.

It was my fault!

I received reports and a direct email on the thread. I deleted it but i didn't get a confirmation page..the browser just went 404 on me (Neowin was running slow this afternoon @4:00 cst), so I back-tracked the browser and assumed since I didn't have confirmation I should wait to delete...if that makes sense.

Turns out that even though I never made it to the confirmation page, the thread was deleted.

So that's why you didn't get a PM-> I didn't follow up. Next time I'll not be so hasty to run off ;)

Sorry!:s

Oh that's okay! :D Just nice to know what happened.

May I ask, was I reported again or was it the same report that got it shut down the first time? If it was another report, what was I reported for?

What else do I delete threads for :ponder: :paranoid: ;)

Hehe, mmk. By the way, I never meant to violate copyright, and I have permission for all the icons now too. Thanks for filling me in deadzombie! :D

No problem, thanks for understanding. As mods go, I would guess that my newness may still lend to the occassional error.

Next time I need to delete one of your threads I'll send you a really rude PM first so you can save it!:p :D ;)

Seriously, thanks for handling it well and coming through with permissions for everyone -> I like those icons alot!

Hey, I really appreciate your kind comments. I was a little worried that people had lost some respect in me because of the mishap in the other thread. I hate rippers, and ripping for that matter, and I was really worried when my thread was reported for that slip of the tongue that it might of given off the impression that I'm a casual ripper, when that's not the case at all. To hear you say that puts me at ease. (god I sound mushy, lol :rolleyes: )

Go ahead and post it then

Okie dokie. Click here for the icons. :D
