>>I don't agree with the "duh" in reference to OTCBB boards being the most trouble

I will go out on a limb and say that OTCBB boards have and always will be +/- 90% of the Admin work load. It's just the nature of the sector.

On the topic, I do have a feature request, Bob.

>>I haven't seen a public whine about deletions since you instituted those rules until today.<<

I have a public whine. I'm going to start terminating accounts if I keep running into a few of you that decide you wish to remove after I have restored a post. It's partially my fault, because I have no way of knowing who removed a post initially, then subsequently removed it again after I restored it -- it could have been an Assistant, and I couldn't tell, so I won't point fingers. But I have seen it where some Moderators insist on overturning my restorations. Not cool and I am going to open a massive can of Admin backhand on the next folks who do it, "....if you are the only Moderator on the board....wooo woooo..." "....GOOOOOOO <otcbb stock here>...."

So Bob, to prevent anybody from incurring any physical bodily damage, we need to a way to "lock" a message once it has been restored by me. I'd put this pretty high up on the list for when we get the next round of RB folks in here.

MATT, is the only one with the authority to delete a post, moderators may recommend posts to be
deleted but Matt reveiws them all and has the final say.


It's my understanding that it doesn't work this way in practice. But Matt can clarify.

Matt -- please clarify specifically --

1. can a moderator remove a post by him- or her-self without any action by you? Or can a moderator only request that a post be deleted, and it isn't deleted until YOU hit the delete button?

2. Can posts be deleted even if they don't violate any of the TOU?

There seems to be some confusion about all this.

Agree, BoP.

It ain't perfect and nothing is. If it's workable and especially "better than before", I'm thrilled. I'll take it. Warts and all.

I'll also take it into account if/when I modify the topmembers algorithm. Shouldn't be too much more expensive.
