1) Why do mods just up and delete people's (my) post and leave a vague short meaningless comment?
2) Why not shoot out a pm or a warning and give me some time to fix the issue instead of quick deletion and no clear instructions on how to fix it?
1) If I delete something I always make sure and put a reason why the post was deleted. If you ever see a post that has been deleted with no reason next to it, that is because there was probably something wrong with the post that was a rule violation. In which case the user is notified of the issue so it won't happen again. If someone posts a NIW exclusive and I delete it and say "No NIW exclusives", then it's blatantly obvious what I deleted the thread for. By doing that it leaves an open window of opportunity for someone to PM the user and make a deal via PM which would completely defeat the purpose of me deleting the thread.
2) In my experience, this falls under the same category of the guys who say "will post pics when I get home". You PM them telling them they need to fix their thread then you get the typical "cool, I'll fix it asap" and they just keep bumping the thread for 2 or 3 days without ever resolving the issue. We can't cater to every person's wants and needs when it comes to stuff like that. There are some people that will PM me and say "All you had to do was ask and I would have fixed it". Sure, maybe you would have. But how can I know that you aren't going to give me the same line of BS that 99% of the rest of the members here would?
While on topic of things that Mod's do to make people mad, let's touch on the things that get threads deleted in the selling forum. I delete someone's post for something and then I get a PM saying "The post right under mine had the same issue but you didn't delete it. WTF bro
insert derogatory comments about me as a person or how bad of a moderator I am" The simple response I give is use the report function because we can't see everything (which is 100% true) and it just stems another fit of rage and derogatory comments.
It's impossible to win with some people. If you want things to be easier for you then lead by example and people will follow, making life easier on everyone. Posting things like this does not help your cause. Why drag the whole moderation staff into this because something upset you? A simple PM to whoever deleted the thread would have sufficed. I expected better from the guy who says real men don't edit their BP vids, but then complains like a child when something doesn't go their way on an internet forum.
