TDC is the only community site I've ever visited where total deletions are so commonplace. Locking stuff, sure, but excising whole discussions and acting like nothing ever happened is just strange and has always struck me as really wrong. Yeah, it's a private site, but it's still a heavy-handed and inconsiderate response that from time to time got swung about way too much. It also occasionally made things pretty confusing and perpetuated a tonne of dramas.
So good call. I would be really happy about this too if I still posted here.
Muz: it's pretty much always been warranted, or at least symptomatic of some underlying problem (we have a lot of those here). Like that chick who fucked Mulder said when she was knee-high and still on that other show, through conflict comes growth. Of course you aren't gonna enjoy it, but you have to respect that people aren't going to "start a fight" with the administrapo unless they feel they have a grievance and ignoring perceived grievances is no way to keep anything running smoothly.

Huh. This is awesome! I was fighting for this for years, and the moment I stopped caring, they put it into effect.
Does this mean I can't remove posts?

How do you figure that? The moderators are just as capable of acting up as any other member. Only difference is, they can delete things and we can't. Thankfully with these new rules, this shouldn't be a big problem anymore.
We, the regular members should moderate the moderators if needed, not a higher rank of moderators. And we do this by simply discussing the decisions made that we disagree with.
Yes, as with any other system. Since we all seem to be in accord with the new rules, let's not bicker needlessly, shall we? I just finished exams and I intend on having a good visit to my favorite website.
Can admins delete alerts before other admins see them? If so I think it should be changed so that the alert stays there for all to see. I really can't trust admins won't delete alerts to save a friend's back, before the other admins see them.
Or perhaps even a red message that appears at the top of the content "This content has recieved an admin alert" so others know not to send alerts. Surely it can't help recieving dozens of alerts over the same complaint.
Plenty of klik sites are quite heavy handed. The only ones that are a bit light seem to have no members for some reason.. either that means having a small active user base doesn't cause trouble, or they've been secretly pissing everyone off and are quiet about it. Personally, I never really liked the total deletions though.. I'd rather edit out obscene parts of a post and leave an "Edited by Muz" mark on it. If it deserved to be deleted, then there's nothing wrong with claiming you did it.
Admins can delete alerts. Personally, yeah, I'd prefer the alerts stay there at least 3 days before getting deleted. Alerts on an post being alerted seems a bit ridiculous, though, it's not like alerts are too common
Disclaimer: Any sarcasm in my posts will not be mentioned as that would ruin the purpose. It is assumed that the reader is intelligent enough to tell the difference between what is sarcasm and what is not.
And you know, we aren't backhanded conniving people who would hide alerts for someone. People who would do that sort of a thing generally have other tendencies that keep them from being an admin.
Besides, even if we did want to hide something, alerts here are never anything worth hiding. O_o
Removed the "Taco" discussion. Please stay on topic and try to not to attack eachother. If you feel your post got deleted by mistake please pm me and I shall try to put it back.
