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.
I don't know where you got that idea. I recall informing you "the post will be reviewed", or words to that effect. Either way, now you know.
}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?
No. One need not evaluate every sentence to spot a violation. The more flagrant ones we tend to encounter tend to stand out, as a matter of fact.
What is the purpose of removing the post anyway? Couldn't you just point out where I "put words in others' mouths".
In the past, this proved to be an extremely ineffective deterrent.
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?
You're welcome to PM the staff if you see a violation. I'd suggest Bex in the cases you allege have taken place.
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?
For those who can manage it, I would recommend honestly discussing the topics. For those who can't, I suggest relocating to one of the many hate sites which welcome and encourage dishonesty.
I guess I should just mimic yours and Russ' posting styles since they are above reproach. That way I will never get censored.
Thank you. Good luck in your efforts to become a better poster.
