    I've had about 10 posts dissappear on me today, and some of the posts that dissapeared were over a week old. I just changed my password, incase some freak hacked my account. I don't feel like going and asking every mod if they did it, so if they could kindly reply here or pm me if they did, and explain to me what happened? Not blaming anyone, but something seriously fucked up is going on.

    Those posts were probably victims of a free thoughts purge meant to enhance the quality of the boards. Read the sticky.

    One liners are pretty much intolerable from now on, just because the quality has slagged so much since the rise in sciforums popularity.

    I'm not reffering to any posts from free thoughts. These were from at least 3 sections, and a few were pretty old. It seemed pretty weird, and the only reason I noticed was that my post count went down by 10-15, so I investigated a bit.

    Man, not even I would post just a "lol" and you usually can't get any lower than me!

    Counsler, who took the crayon out of your nose?

    That should read pointless one-liners as some one-liners do in fact add something to a discussion *hopes no-one spots that he's refering to himself then whistles*

    blankc, some threads have been deleted in the Free Thoughts section, when a thread gets deleted anyone who may have posted in there loses the post, and in turn loses some of their post count.

    This is trivial, we're not here to increase our post count, we're here to learn off one-another and contribute our own thoughts

    CounslerCoffee: And how does offering an explanation that has just been mentioned do anything but increase your post count? And if the posts that were removed were one liners I would have understood, but they were not. That was also pretty irresponsible of you(as a mod) saying that I add nothing to this community, perhaps you could clarify if that is an official position, or your opinion as an individual? And using bold face adds nothing, especially when you are attempting to characterize me in a false and baseless light.

    Thor: I honestly felt the "lol" was necessary, the act of acknowledging, changed the tone of the previous post imho, and served to prevent any misunderstandings. Subtlety, subtext, and tone are just as important as many surface ideas. And I don't believe I ever said anything about my post count being very important, or being overly concerned about it's decrease, I just offered it as an explanation on how I discovered my missing posts. And once again I am not reffering to posts in free thoughts.

    Now if there is anything you are unsure of, ask me for clarification, too many false assumptions and misunderstandings are occuring, many without good reason.

    I agree with blankc on acknowledging another's contribution, even through a simple "lol

    " post. Many times I add to a thread, and it feels good to have my opinion appreciated, even if it's by a simple "Ha ha ha, BluSol" or any recognition. This is a community. Your judgement was a bit harsh, Coffee, I know you're not one to become a "Nazi" just because the security and censorship has been upped here.

    Why do you guys keep referring to CCoffee? I don't see his post in this thread. Or is his post hacked as well? Or is my computer hacked that I can't see Coffee's post?????

    I deleted my post seeing as how Blankc thinks that "it increases my post count" Even though I was the first mod/person to answer his question.

    Also, there was minor mistake in my first post. I meant to say that "posts like yours add nothing to the conversation", not "members like you".

    Blankc, how do you know what were in your posts if they were deleted? And you can no longer read them or see them? And how do you know that they weren't in free thoughts? So unless you remember where all 170 of your posts are (Which I doubt), then how do you know which posts they were?

    Yep, I agree with this, but why do a "lol

    " when nothing even remotly funny was said?
    I write one-liners because it's usually what I think of when I read it and it's my small contribution. I alsways write what I first think and then when I'm typing I try to add more. See, I didn't even know I was gonna write this ten seconds ago!!

    Remember, there are no stupid answers, just stupid people! (Thank you Mr.Garrison)

    And why has security been upped here. It's stopping me pointing out stupid things, I love pointing out stupid things and I'm sure it raises points...I'm gonna go cry, s'cuse me

    To zee first qvestion: 'Cause blankc asked if a crazy mod had hacked his account and Persol said yep, so that was funny. Besides, you just answered your own question, saying that no answer was stupid; this allows lol's.

    S'true about the "typing before thinking". It's that way with me when debating, I write something, and I always change it a zillion times and pass a hundred ideas before settling. (Not for this though, this is casual stuff)
    Alert, alert, we've got a hysterical one!

    Common now... at least give me some credit. I just find it funny that the mods delete posts they deam irrelevant, and at the same time Xev is a mod.

    Spookz, Im not saying that he made this "Stuff" up. Im asking him how he knew that his posts weren't in free thoughts. If they were deleted then how does he know where/what they are?

    Okay, I promise to delete this thread after you read it, Persol (as I might be accused of gluttony by blank, hehe) but one of my most hated grammatical errors is when people use the word 'Common' instead of 'come-on'. I used to do that a lot. Along with "of coarse," instead of, "of course". Really screws up the reader...

    Though sometimes it sounds pretty cool when you start a thread by saying:

    Common people!...
    {bow down at me feet you unpatriotic conformists!}

    *blows nose and wipes away the tears*

    Okay, I can *sniff* see how some may find this slightly amusing.
    And are we saying that Persol is stupid Frau Blau?

    I don't remember voting...democracy, pfft!! And why do you say "YOU people" as if we're below you? Does someone seem a lil power crazy or hungry for food?

    Elbaz - How can you delete this thread, post you mad fool, POST!! We're doomed, doomed, doomed, doomed, doomed, doooooomed!
