Oh, hello there! :wave:
Last night a thread I posted was abruptly closed for no apparent reason.
Australian LS1 and Holden Forums (http://www.ls1.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=118356)
Now, I did a search, couldn't find what I was looking for, so I asked a question, with a slightly comedic tone to keep in the spirit of forum fun.
Anyway, I'm not disputing the closure. What I wouldn't mind knowing is why the thread was shut so quickly. So perhaps the mods could look at PM'ing a reason for the closure rather than just sending a PM informing us that the thread was closed. Otherwise, we don't actually know what we did wrong! :)
Another small point......Not wanting to get into trouble, I have read the forum terms and conditions very carefully before posting this thread. They state:
Any issues or complaints on any post or threads must not be responded to within the forum threads or posts, but should be addressed by using the provided reported post functionality or by sending an email to The Moderators identifying the post at issue. Or submit your concern via this form Contact Us if you have an Issue
Any issues or complaints in relation to any moderation of threads or posts please contact The Admin for further review.
After reading this it would seem that we actually can dispute moderation of threads in the open forum if we so choose. It doesn't say we can't! There is an option preferred by the mods to discuss this, but it doesn't say that this is the only option. In the paragraph above it says we can't complain about other peoples posts and replies, but doesn't actually say moderation decisions are not to be discussed in the forum. It does say we have to abide by them, but it doesn't say that we cant whinge about them in the forum! :lol: Just thought I'd point that out :D
