Concerning moderation, view from members

[Gustav]

deleting is not the same as editing except in certain contexts. for instance..."a post was edited out of a thread"...which is then the same as saying a post was deleted from a thread.

however, if i were to delete a post and someone accused me of editing the post and changing its meaning, naturally i would take issue with that since there is no longer a post in existence that can be modified in anyway

still tho, while it might be tempting to call this kwill creature every name under the sun, he appears to utilizing some retarded definition of "edit" that was obviously not immediately apparent.

Frankly, I'm getting rather fed up of this lie

what do you have in mind? call him "filthy filthy liar"?

since he gave his operational definition of "edit" which i assume you are aware of,.....

... you should not persist in accusing him of lying.

now
the tit for tat has been played out
this bit of idiocy can end

oh
if reiku continues spamming the forum when he returns.....well, that will not be a good thing.

Thanks Gustav,
you would almost need to see how Prometheus is determined to continue this, and have followed the Bias Thread to see this. I was not the first on these threads to compare editing with deletion, but did agree with it and made mention of it.

Just an add-on to that. Reiku/Mister has a habit of making 4-5 posts to make his point. Deleting 1 or 2 of them can change its meaning.

It really did in the post we are referring to, however it cannot be linked as it no longer exists.

This is what I meant by saying

He claims deleting cannot be construed as editing, but The author was "notorious" for spreading his thoughts out over several posts. Deleting a post from "Mister/Reiku" or anyone is editing.

Basically the moderator was saying if he did not agree with the post he would delete it which is censoring.

Like how he said this,

Believe it or not I am intelligent enough to be able to tell the difference between facts and opinions and moderate accordingly.

So anyone/moderator going around deleting posts (some call that editing/censorship), if they disagree with the opinions. This was my main objection, but now my objection to Prometheus has expanded exponentially.

so these threads just keep going and going.

you can stop. you have the agency
so does the prom guy if he decides to get a clue
the deletion issue had been resolved by james by way of an admonition
you and prom evenly trade insults

i cant think of a better ending

oh
makes sense i guess
interesting observation actually
pardon
