It should be IA Mod policy....

[quickdodge®]

-IA Moderators reserve the right to lock or delete a thread if we see something we dont like. We prefer that people join and pay the $10 to sell, that would make it alot easier, but we will monitor every thread and if we SEE FIT WE WILL LOCK/DELETE THAT THREAD, NO QUESTIONS ASKED BUT YOU WILL BE TOLD WHY IT WASNT ALLOWED.

You ought to check the entire rule and you'll also see this:

"ANY QUESTIONS PM AND ADMIN or SUPERMOD, DO NOT POST A THREAD ASKING WHY SOMETHING WAS DELETED, OR WHY YOU THINK IT SHOULDNT HAVE BEEN DELETED."

this happens about every 6 months or so. Someone thinks cause their thread got deleted they can demand something out of the mods. This is half the reason i gave it up its not worth the hassle. They do this for free. The users are LARGELY unappreciative.

If your thread was deleted it was because you didnt follow the rules, PERIOD. Its not THEIR job to babysit and tell you what you did wrong, if they did that it would take tons more of their time. Let me give you a scenario:

I used to PM people an tell them what was wrong. Well after about 4 people started arguing back and forth with me about how they WERENT in the wrong i just said fuck it and stopped doing it. Or how "SO AND SO HAS A THREAD AND ITS STILL UP I DEMAND MINE BE UNDELETED/UNLOCKED".

There are what 30,000 users on here? do you think they troll EVERY forum EVERY hour to see whose doing what right and wrong? Some stuff slips through the cracks, that doesnt mean you get a pass.

Ive used this example 100000 times, thats like the next time you get a speeding ticket telling the cop "well so and so was in front of me going faster so i shouldnt get a ticket". The cop KNOWS other people speed, but he picked you, you are still guilty.

By making threads like this it undermines the mods little bit of authority they have left and you degrade the site by pushing it into a bickering "us vs them" war.

Instead of being a post whore, PM a mod and POLITELY ask "hey QD, i noticed my thread was deleted can you tell me what i did wrong so i can correct it?"

But that would me you would have to be more mature than a 12 year old, something i think is not congruent to this current level of users

Dam you and your perfect logic! This is the WL, logic does not belong here!
