Sincerity is much better when you don't try to show everyone how sincere and caring you are.

Often times I receive a quick PM, sometime from digger, saying "thread was deleted because.." or even a simple "I deleted the thread, knock it off.."Big Rick Rock said:Also...
Next time you have an issue with deletions or policy, you report to Digger, EF Frank or you come see me.
The Mods have enough work on their hands without you lighting torches and leading a mob with pitchforks. Thats not the way to do things.
Use the proper channels next time.

With just a TINY bit more communication, the air can easily be cleared.
I've still never understood the logic/rational for locking/deleting with ZERO explanation. Many times people have no idea what part of the thread someone took issue with, and are still likely to repeat the same mistake.

better to over communicate than under communicate right?samoth said:I'm totally with you there, but dude, c'mon... it's pretty obvious why a lot of stuff gets locked or binned, lol. I do agree that a little communication and a brief 20 second PM can go a long way, as there does exist a large amount of subjectivity in such matters.
(I should so lock this thread)

If I'm being candid, I'd say its because of two reasons:
a) the i don't give a fuck and don't owe you an explanation attitude
b) many times the logic/rational behind the thread lock/delete wouldn't stand up to any sort of critical analysis (as with the giant Wootoom thread)
Big Rick Rock said:Because it will NOT stop there.
It wont stop at just "hey I deleted it because..."
From telling you I deleted it, the conversation will move on the little technicalities as to why I was wrong for deleting it and why the rules don't apply to this particular case. From that, then we'll end up talking about why you think my policy is flawed, and how you should be telling me what the policy should be. When the attempt to get me to change policy doesn't work, you'll go to saying I have a personal issue against you and only you... thats a typical thread deletion + explanation on a good day. About 10 PMs. Because everybody thinks they are the only members on the site thus all the time should be devoted to just them.
Thats just with deleting one ATW, Gambino or KB thread. Imagine going thru that every single time something is deleted.
Fawk that!
stilleto said:don't forget the barage of pm's we'll get of similar threads that weren't locked and all the "WHY?" questions.

you've PMed me a few times, as has digger, and its never turned into something like that. I'm pretty good at seeing things from other person's point of view, but you can't do that when you don't know what the point of view you are trying to look through is!Big Rick Rock said:Because it will NOT stop there.

I see your point, but instead of a few PMs and some argument, you get people complaining, creating new threads, etc.
So it doesn't seem like either option is great, but you'd think that the idea I put forward would go a long way towards building mutual respect (which I am sure you see from me, correct?)
I get the feeling that some mods don't care about that one bit, they demand respect, but would never give give. (and I'm not talking about ALL mods, many, if not most of them, are my good bros!)
needto sends me PMs if I am doing something he takes issue with, and it never leaves to a huge back and forth. its called mutual respect, you give it, you get it. pretty simple.stilleto said:lestat, you may be ok about it, (and you are), but not everyone is. I often TRY to send a pm when i can- if it's not obvious, and if i have time. often though, i'm already thinking, "C'MON dude, you KNOW that was going to be deleted!" and i don't feel like waisting MORE time with a pm. Not to you- i mean, in general.
ask needto- it wasn't too long ago that he was just a member who had his threads locked and deleted plenty of times. Now that he's a mod- we should see how he feels. Things are different when you're the one keeping the place clean.
