The Reasons For This Forum

Hey Phil.....

Just wait till a post is edited, and you reply to it before it is edited, then notice the edit, so you go back and edit your reply.....but in the meantime the original edit is removed leaving the original post in its entirety, thus making your edit look like you are replying to nothing because the edit you did reply to has gone, or been re-edited!!

No, I don't agree, but then I wasn't given the choice, it was deleted anyway. My only point is that everyone here seems to have a complaint with how the other site is run yet I had a post removed and was given no explanation. If we are all being treated as equals, as I have seen written by you, then surely the message within that thread should have been left open for discussion.

Moderation is moderation however it's done, I just don't see any justification for it in this case. It would seem that I am not the only one who has had a post altered or deleted, yet your cohorts state that this won't happen here, is it a site free from moderation or not?

This thread is to discuss reasons for this forums emergence yet it is already going the way of the other one. A select few whose opinions are deemed more important than others, perhaps it's not so different from the other site afterall.

Disgruntled of London.

If you want to disagree with a point I make, at least have the decency to quote me accurately and therefore not totally misrepresent what I had previously written. I used a word that you left out, no doubt to make your own misinformed point regarding my post.

I don't want to go into the politics of why this site was created, i'm happy to get double my "fix" of all things Torquay United, but I do have a wish to see things adhered to and portrayed accurately. I enjoy both sites and usually just lurk but felt my brand of humour would be more suitable to this one. I don't engage in debate all that often and would only ever comment on something I feel worthy of my time, however i'm slightly bemused by the insinuation that this site will be run any differently to any other when it is instantly running the same course as .net.

I've witnessed the behaviour of some on the other forum and would hope a more adult approach be used on this. So far i'm not sure it is, but I do live in hope.

The thread I posted on Saturday was Called those that want to harm(or close to that) A record of events that you may not have been aware off. Facts that I will stand by and even swear on oath before a policeman. I read your post and also thought about Jacks post and I had to as myself, did I want this forum to move on and become the forum, I believe it will.
After Sean's post I felt the thread could and probably would go in a direction, that was not best for the forum.

It was up less than an hour, only four people logged in and saw it, yet still when I was in contact with Dave S G, not long after it was put up, he knew all its contents. Strange that the site was not open to guests on Saturday morning,

Simply because I want this forum to work and I have put a lot of work into it, I felt it was better removed, so the forum could simply move on. I made the post and I deleted it, to leave yours would be meaning less as it would relate to nothing.

I started a new thread on the popside(topic removed) if you had read it you would have seem I said that I was sorry for the posts that I deleted, I also gave my reason.

The rules are the same for me as they are for anyone else. Those that join and use the forum for what it is intented to be used for, will always be free to make their minds up, if they like the way the forum runs. If they don't then they will simply not return.

I look forward to reading your views on any of the topics that the members have started. I'm sorry you fail to understand the reasons I needed to remove my post and as a result yours. I Have no more to say on the matter, except the admin on this forum will not lock delete, or edit posts unless we feel we have no choice, we reserve the right to delete anything that we feel we need too.

All members are treated the same, there is no rule for one or one for another, I simply don't work like that.

The only other post that was altered was because the poster put my sons full name on the forum, I sent him a pm and he knew it was wrong and he went to edit it, I had already done this because it needed to be removed , until my son said it would be OK.

All the best Dave R

I believe Phil meant me Merse as I used the wrong quote botton. I have now put that right. I would add that no words have been left out or changed.

Merse it's the bit of your post in bold that Phil is objecting to.

However Phil you really should ensure that you read all of the site. You would then have seen the post made by Dave R about the deleted thread and this conversation need not have taken place
