OVERZEALOUS ANONYMOUS MODERATION - What's going on here?

Mods notified of over-moderation. They need to screen the help better in the future.

Heh heh, Ankur better run and hide what with his Playboy 1 thread up and running, strike for sure!

[Speedy-D]

The moderation is certainly coming thick these days...

Thanks Of course I'll keep posting here, but I'll wait until after this gets sorted out.

 

So is the moderator going to step forward and explain what happened here?

[Inaflash]

Too bad for all the confusion. Let me know if I still won The Bomb And You. Thanks.

Think it was the 'lurid' covers on some of the pulps (not agreeing or disagreeing here). You'd probably be fine if you put something over the *ahem* wobbly bits in question when you scan them in. Just a thought.

Mods don't really engage in conversations here. As someone else mentioned though--it could have been some of the *spicy* covers (LOVE that pulps used that word).

[*paull*]

If mods don't engage in conversation here, where does this occur?

 

Regardless of the content, why are posts deleted without notification? On top of that, my posts were supposedly "moved" and was not told where they were moved. It doesn't appear that they went to Misc, either.

 

I not only don't want to waste my own time, but I don't want other sellers affected by this overzealous modding.

When things go *poof,* the mods have to move them to a mod-only section, then they can delete them. That is why it says "moved" but you can't access the link.

 

And, I agree, it was most likely the "spicy" covers that got your threads yanked. Were I still a mod, I would have deleted the pictures & emailed you why that happened with a mild suggestion that some editing would keep your pics up.

There wasn't anything inappropriate in those posts... this moderation was ridiculous.

Not only wasn't I told that these posts were deleted, but I posted these for sale previously! This stuff is no more racy than any other "men's adventure" or spicy pulp listed here.

 

I've been here ten years and have never seen anything like this in a sales thread. So who runs this place? Is anyone satisfied about having anonymous mods decide what is appropriate, without any notification or ability to correct content?

 

[Mac Man]

Sometimes they'll leave messages in the thread, sometimes they don't. I used to volunteer as a mod for a forum a few years back (table top wargaming), and it was just that--volunteer work. If I had time to leave a note, I did; other times, I have to admit I'd just clean up the various threads quickly and move along.

 

Bummer when it happens in your thread, but it looks like a new mod error is all. GOOD news though is your Shadow books sold, so a successful thread on the whole!

[slym2none]

Also, I doubt the mods were cruising the boards - someone hit the "Notify" clicker, also known around here as "humping the button."

 

So, someone was offended at something and told the mods on you.

E-mail me the pics, or link them in PM, please?

 

I am just curious.

Here are examples of what was deleted. I'm posting links to a previous thread, since these were re-posts of books with lower prices:

[Buzzetta]

Because those are worse than these?

 

 

[skypinkblu]

I saw someone mention Pulps, which ARE for sure related to comics...but I'm not sure those qualify as "pulps" do they? I thought they were just paperback books...in which case, perhaps the problem is...:shrug:

 

(and I hate to sound like one of the NCIS people) they violate RULE #!

 

Books must be CGC or raw only, or items directly related to comics.

I didn't say that they were pulps, however I did say that other people list pulps in this forum, and paperbacks, and magazines.

 

Are Playboys related to comics? "Mens adventure" mags?

 

There are two questions here, should the posts be deleted, and if so, should the poster not be told? I even posted in the thread that I was having issues with the thread and the anonymous mod removed the material two more times without telling me, either via PM or in the thread.

Like Slym said, your images contained nudity and most likely got pulled because someone hit the notify mod button - just like it happens when people post Grimm Fairy Tales nude covers over in the Modern section and don't cover up the saucy bits. Why don't you just repost the books with censored covers? :shrug:
