rockie101 - It depends on what gets posted. I can address your posts specifically - the last 6 of your posts were deleted by IHUB Admin, not any moderator on this board. Moderators can't override admin deletions. If you had a post that you believe was unfairly deleted, definitely request a review. I check the deletion review request section only once a day (towards the end of the day around 11pm US Central time zone). I don't think deletions by IHUB admins will appear in the moderator section but if your post is deleted by a moderator, we can review the request.
I (and pretty much all of the other moderators) tend to leave posts alone unless it's a extremely repetitive one in which case it will be deleted (considered spam).
I've deleted many antagonistic chains lately. IE. something gets posted to offend. I delete offending post. Response to offending post that is also offensive gets removed. So on and so forth. Some of these posts actually have links relative to the topic being discussed which is why it's a shame to delete it since readers could benefit from multiple sources of information.
------------------
The top 3 type of posts that have been frequently removed are:
Personal Attack
Spam
Off Topic
------------------
Posts about deletions are also off topic (like this one), but I feel I need to address this since lately (past week), the amount that needed to be deleted has grown, on top of that, the hostility has been more of a focal point rather than the relevant discussion. Things get heated and understandably so when there are very polarizing subjects. What we're trying to do is preserve any and all information so that investors can make their own mind about the subject.
This will be the last post on the subject of post deletions.
---------------
On another note, since I can see what other moderators delete. I can assure all the posters that all the moderators despite their personal beliefs keep this board as fair as possible regarding various viewpoints. I've seen moderator deletions of posts that they actually agree with but were otherwise considered off topic or spam.
Also due to time zone differences, etc. you may see posts in violation that aren't removed immediately. Moderation is basically done on our own free time. Moderators aren't paid to moderate these boards (well, I'm not being paid) so while we would like to be on 24/7, we cannot.
