WTF is going on around here

I looked at that thread and your post and agree with homeowner that your post was off-topic and would have totally derailed that thread, in which a newbie was just asking for info about the neighborhood. If you ever feel that a moderator decision is unfair, you can send a PM to one of the admins (Dailyheights, Emily, or apollonia666). If they agree with you, your post can be moved back.

You're incorrect. No posts are deleted. They are moved offsite, and can be moved back if the decision was inappropriate, which so far no one agrees with you about.

I agree with this. "Moved" would apply that the post is still available somewhere on-site online to the public. It was REMOVED from the publicly accessible online site, why not just say so?

Sweet tea was responding to a post by OTB that was moved offsite because of a personal attack.

The relevant part of the post (minus that attack):

Old Time Brooklyn wrote: So the moderators PM me and say "If you have a problem, ask it in Ask Brooklynian forum."

And then they don't respond.

Old Time Brooklyn wrote: But you did volunteer. And if your time allows you to only act accordingly some of the time maybe you should think about that and factor that into your removal of posts. Because when you're not consistent, you just invite criticism, which none of you seem to like. So maybe you should stop removing posts for reasons that are hardly relevant because the next time a similar post pops up and you're not around to remove it, you risk pissing people off and just make yourselves look capricious. And law-makers can't be capricious.

We call 'em how we see 'em. If you ever feel a specific decision was unfair, the review process has been explained to you in detail multiple times.

Old Time Brooklyn wrote: Well, you call 'em pretty lousy. And it's too late once you remove a post. I gotta go run to some higher power? Just stop removing posts unless there's a good reason. You can't control conversation. That's the problem with message board moderators. You don't treat the boards as conversation. You have to put everything in its right place and it just destroys what should be the organic nature of a discussion. Typical mistake by people on message board mods. But you should be better than that.

Sounds like this isn't the first time you've had a problem like this on a message board. We disagree with you about our calls and have explained the appeals process to you. Multiple moderators have discussed it with you, yet while you've failed to contact an admin, you keep griping about it on the boards themselves. This is kind of trollish behavior. And now you reveal that it isn't just Brooklynian, but message board moderators in general that are the problem...

Old Time Brooklyn wrote: It's an issue on all boards. Some handle it well, some don't. This is probably one of the worst cases.

I was told to discuss this issue here but now you're calling me a troll? When does it end?

Dude, you were told to DISCUSS the situation here. You were not told to whine and bitch and stomp your little feeties until the Mods magically said "you're right, let's give you the thread back, and hey, we'll also give you a pony."

Someone had a problem with your post, they reported it, and the mods did something. No one had a problem with the other post, no one reported it, it stayed. It's as simple as that.

You broke a rule and you were handled accordingly. Either put on your big-boy panties and deal with it, or make your own board where you get to call all the shots and you can do whatever you want.

public apology to mods: I freely accept whatever kind of judgement you wish to levy upon me for losing it like that, but I couldn't stop myself because JESUS this kind of entitlement whining pisses me right the hell off.

Old Time Brooklyn wrote: I expect that post to be deleted since it's a personal attack.

Honestly? If you send a mod a PM and ask them to delete it, I would be ESTATIC. Because that's the way it's SUPPOSED to work - you send a mod a private message to complain. And that would show that you actually LISTENED finally.

If you do that, I promise to you, I will post an apology to you in public. Honest to God.

Man, Brooklyn is really toast. PM to complain? You mean like snitch? What Brooklyn has always stood for is getting stepped on by a new breed of weak sauce whiners.

That's how the mods have explained to you it works here. If you're too much of a putz to deal with it, too bad.[/i]
