Default Why threads or posts are removed

Since there was recently a thread on this forum that violated 8.1 of the TOS, specifically, "discusses the administrative actions regarding a specific member, Prohibited Content, or administration or management of this site;" I thought I'd clarify why posts or threads are deleted or why threads are locked.

None of this is new.

Threads and posts are removed when they violate the TOS, and it seems a handful of members especially have difficulty with 8.1's " (i) is offensive or promotes racism, bigotry, hatred or physical harm of any kind against any group or individual; (ii) bullies, harasses or advocates stalking, bullying, or harassment of another person."

We get tired here of the same few players resulting in the majority of these problems, so we don't always PM users about a thread being removed -- especially if it's one of these usual members who seem to have trouble following this part of the TOS.

Sometimes a poster will post something completely off-topic or completely tangential to the OP's original topic as well. The grandfather thread was an example of this, where a member was sharing a family moment with others here, and some members chose it as a time to berate him for allowing his grandson on the Segway. If you want to express such an opinion that has nothing to do with sharing a personal story, do so in PM.

If you say stupid, offensive things -- things that promote hatred, for instance, or tries to bully or harass other members -- then yes, you're going to find such idiotic posts removed. We've always done that and will continue to do that.



Thanks.
