"And why are so many MOD’s that are on many popular boards that delete posts that are relevant but not to the MOD’s liking!"

You know the answer. If a post is deleted that one believes should not have been, go to settings and scroll down to My Removed Posts and submit a request for review.

But one most know and understand the TOS.

If you wish to request a review of your post click the link in the Message link. Do not post about message deletions on the message boards. DO NOT SUBMIT A REQUEST FOR REVIEW IF ANY CONTENT OF YOUR POST VIOLATED THE Terms of Service.

Users who fail to abide by these policies may forfeit access to this page and be subject to other sanctions.

Please refer to User Handbook - Deletion of Posts and the FAQ for more information.

Nobody "controls the bias" of a board. This conspiracy nonsense has no basis in facts. A board's "bias" is based on the sentiment of posters... "pro", "con", "neutral" etc.

A poster's failure to follow TOS is not the fault of mods or admin, and as explained dozens of times, mod deleted posts can be appealed.

After years of membership and thousands of posts, it should be clear enough what the rules are. I initially had quite a few posts deleted. It didn't take very long for me to figure out how to follow TOS so my deletions were few & far between.

A bit like speeding while driving and getting speeding tickets. Don't want a ticket? Slow down. But blaming the police over & over doesn't accomplish anything.

Now that TOS is relaxed, those who struggled to understand, may find fewer posts deleted, so perhaps the nonsensical complaining will diminish.
However, everyone will have a learning curve with the new TOS, so I expect there will be more mistakenly deleted posts in the short term.

Your point is moot. And the rules will never conform to what you believe they should be.
It is you that must accept and conform or log out and work another site. And rest assured many are aware.

For the record I agree with shot60... he/she is pointing out something that many here are not aware of....there are many popular stock boards that have mods that love or are paid by the company and challenge the bashers essentially controlling the bias of a board,

Blows my mind that some are just 'blind' to the SIMPLE RULE that applies to posts:

If you direct a post AT someone, you're breaking TOS and your post will likely be deleted.

You can post about the MESSAGE.......but NOT the MESSENGER.......

It can't get any simpler than that.........sigh.........

But there are some that just can't get their minds around that......weird.......

And then they think the mods are biased.....

If a mod deletes a post that follows TOS, then that post will be restored.......and get the pretty green arrows to boot.........

And fwiw........if the word 'you' is in the post, it's most likely breaking TOS.......lol
