I'll talk it over with CTD and Russ. Remember the posts are not deleted Linear, they're still retrievable. They've been moved into an archive. Linear has already been informed that posts may be reinstated. Two of his posts have been moved to the archive, and both times he was told that the posts would be reviewed. I could not access the posts. I thought they had been reviewed and that was why they were removed.
It is also possible to edit a person's post. So if the rest of the post is sound, then I'm thinking a mod can edit the particularly problem out and put in the reason e.g. "edited for....." and inform the poster with a warning also.
Moving an entire post is pretty drastic, {snip}
Editing is possible, and it's an option I would consider for first- or second- time violators. But in the case of habitual rule-breakers who make no effort to comply with the rules of the forum, I will not be the one sifting through their garbage in search of something salvageable. I disagree with editing the post also. However, in order to determine if the post should be removed, shouldn't you have already done the sifting? What is the purpose of removing the post anyway? Couldn't you just point out where I "put words in others' mouths". I have read quite a few of Russ' and your posts where you claim I said something that I did not. Have any of those been removed? I understand that Abishag has also had posts removed so I know the moderators seem to be even-handed. However, I see a poster seems to put words in my mouth but doesn't get posts removed and I get posts removed for what I am told is the same thing. If the mods don't show me what I have done to get the post removed then what am I supposed to do to correct the problem? I guess I should just mimic yours and Russ' posting styles since they are above reproach. That way I will never get censored.
