    Yes, you are right, it was not a warning but a negative rating. You get pretty offensive and tell me that other user accounts are not my business if you say so, but I will tell you and others my honest opinion if I feel for it, my business or not

    I will just say warning issued, in my opinion, have been very personnel, like the deleted post. Everyone can have a bad day a moderator told me after a negative rating I got which was totally out of common sense, yes that include moderators too, it seems to me like moderator(s) in power have veto here about what is right or what is wrong, pls be fair, and if I get banned I couldn't care less, my vote goes to free speech

    You guys realize that you do not see moderator actions or warnings issued, right? That is handled on the backend. You may think nothing has been done but it is completely possible that warning points were issued or account restrictions given to a user. The 3 people on this forum with moderating permissions also have lives and we do not read every single post made on the forum. However, we do read every single post that gets reported and the comments made by the user making the report.

    A post that gets reported has a much higher chance of having a moderator action taken against it. This may play a part in why you see some odd choices in what gets moderated and what doesn't. People do report off-topic comments and express frustration with it and many people do not report personal attacks and only complain at a much later time. Then you will see moderator action taken against what moderators see with their own eyes. We don't see everything. It is not easy to moderate a forum and you do not make any friends doing it.

    I lost my desire to post when I get a post deleted. A member here (No reason to put his name here, it's not about the person) called another member a dickhead, maybe right, maybe wrong, I don't know, but I know name-calling is a reason to get banned. I reply in post other was "punished" for less than that, my post deleted and the thread moved to of topic. Different rules for different people, I don't buy that one. Another member in this site told me his post was deleted, so is that common?

    I don't want to involve you in this as you were not the cause of my dissatisfaction. I asked you first if you knew anything about my deleted posts, as I regard you as the Senior Moderator, but already had a very strong view of who deleted them - and why!

    You were kind enough to answer me.

    I have approached the moderator @DavyL200 but his response appears to be rather mocking. I can't control how people with power behave - I can only observe and comment. So I give up on that one.

    I do not understand why my reply to this comment was first DELETED and then when I repeated it, was swiftly moved to off-topic.

    Is this comment ON TOPIC?

    This reply is a repeat of an earlier reply WHICH WAS DELETED. It will not be exact as I do not keep copies of my postings, but it will be in essence very similar:

    The issue of what is "interesting" is personal and what one person likes, another will not. If I find a post I am not interested in then I just don't read it. Are we just to write what certain people find of interest?

    Edit: This was not on my original post: I did not originally give a trollin' rating as I felt a comment in reply was sufficient BUT when that fair and reasonable comment was deleted I went back to award the rating I felt the comment deserved - it was obvious who the comment referred to and it stated that those members of this Forum write "drivel" (personal opinion) and "have nowt better to do" without knowing what they do.

    It would be interesting if ALL members can be allowed to delete posts they think are critical of themselves (personal) - the Forum would be half empty and there would be an end to FREE SPEECH.

    Perhaps 'Not' is my real name as stated "Not (my real name)".
