There seem to be a lot of posters who wonder why their posts were deleted (including, on occasion, me), which leads me to believe that the connection between our “offenses” and the rules of posting are not clear.
Perhaps a brief response in place of the post (“violation of rule #3) to allow posters a clue as to the offense would help.
A new thread of mine was recently deleted without explanation. I e-mailed staff and was simply told that responses to this topic were listed under home page news, not as a seperate topic in the coffee room. When have we ever had a rule that a topic in the news cannot be discussed in a thread??
This made absolutely no sense to me. It seemed like a willy nilly decision without a violation of any particular rule.
