It wasn't offensive, it just related to the edited post so I therefore deemed it inappropriate for it to remain given that the other post had been removed. I didn't have to edit it...

Why did my post have to be removed in the first place? It wasnt offensive at all. No that it was wholey important...its just that this seems like a petty abuse of power.

With all due respect, I think admin has let off two many 'moderator' positions and this website is really losing it's appeal.

The other thing is Moose, if I did not make a point about you making a similar post to mine..but you deeming your post ok, you would not have edited yours at all would u.

To be honest with you Main_Source, I agree that in the case of some areas of this forum, moderation is being applied too harshly. Since no-one ever posts in my allotted section, I'm not having to apply it at all , but in the case of general chat, I think it's fair to say that the only posts requiring moderation are those that are deliberately offensive.

If the forum had a section on 'Moving to Cyprus' as everyone has been asking for, the remainder of general chat tends to be just that, very general and very chatty, therefore remaining strictly 'on topic' appears to be an unnecessary requirement. Obviously if a new member posts looking for information, it would be better to ensure that their enquiry is answered before launching into a discussion of Bro's (or your own for that matter) sexuality. But otherwise, this section has developed into its own little community.

I've noticed that some members are not posting as frequently these days, not sure if it's because it's summertime and they're away or because of the new rules on moderation. Let's hope it's the first.

P.S. My approach to moderation isn't that of a prison guard, it's more like


If any kids try to steal sweets from the shop, I kick them out. Otherwise people are free to browse through the sprouts at their leisure.

no getting involved but i think people should look where the line between a joke and a personal attack. i know you get caught up because i have done it many times but just think.

You needlesly deleting my post (and it was needless yeah) has kinda put me off this site a litle bit...it's like everything has to be controlled and who knows when someones post might unknowingly get altered.
