Unhappy What did I say wrong this time ???

Man I have had another reply to a thread removed by the Mod's for no reason , no PM , nothing ,, this is not only getting to wear a little thin to me but others here as well have Pm'd me on this over the last few weeks ??? .
What gives ?? ..
I believe my answer was in good faith , no swearing , selling , or the such , so what gives ?? guys ?
Brian.

As Mike said and example might help, but I'm sure I haven't missed sending any PMs about any posts I've deleted... and I haven't deleted any of yours in a while.

Usually it's chatter in IceTrade that gets deleted.

And you know Brian, you could always send a PM to a moderator and ask us, instead of posting it here?

I had a post deleted some time ago ..!!
It was in Telescopes and Mounts.

I congratulated a guy on a buying a SDM from a fellow member.
Said what a terrific ' score ' and just a superb piece of kit.

I don't think the Mods like general chat in the Classifieds ..!!

It was deleted ... even thou' the Scope was SOLD.

Flash ..!!

The TOS for classifieds is very clear - no chatter in the for sale threads.

PM the user if you have something to say.

You to Iceman , I respect getting deleted when a PM is forth comming telling me I made a stuff up , and I have PM'd you back ( More than once ) apoligising , which it is the way to go , Because it is easy to get into a thread and forget protocol . . as some of the threads are awsome .. .
But when one dissapairs with out a trace that was there the day before ,, well ,,

Octane it was a discussion on 2 scopes , a 114mm and 100mm reflector's the person was looking to buy , they supplied 2 threads , so it was easy to see where they were going , short on cash and wanting advice . .
I put my 5c in and suggested the 100mm as it had way better accessories , and the seller's were honest on the magnifications and said so , thats all ??? . My reply was there monday night , gone without a trace last night . My back got up , as how is this objectionable .
Thanks again for your intrest .
Brian

I didn't think of PM'ng you so avoided posting a comment earlier. Brian, on the audio forums I moderate on, if we have to "act" on an issue, we, out of courtesy PM the originator of the issue. Long before IIS existed we discussed how to handle difficult situations and being uncommunicative, heavy handed and dictatorial were things we deliberately chose to avoid and time has proven us wise in our decisions..........it is absolutely rare to see threads like this (something that seems to be a relatively regular occurence here) arise.

This thread makes interesting reading......... http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...ad.php?t=87573
