You have GHQ to discuss. My observation says, decision cannot be taken based upon arguments of one side. If you reported any post and did not engage the troll in similar fashion etc; I would be glad to restore those posts. Any post left unchecked is nothing but an oversight as there are several posts of other members, removed as well. You noticed as such; report it on merit and move on.
Regards,
Thing is, administration and moderation supposed to be thorough, when a person report a post, you don't just look at said post being reported, because there are always 2 sides of an argument and you need to get the whole picture before you can make a decision, otherwise you would just be doing the handy work of a troll, who try to remove post that they were trolling. And if you do check the thread thoroughly, you will find majority of the post in that section is not even supposed to be there, and yet, since the moderation team didn't, those post remain.
To make it clear, I HAVE NOT REPORTED any of the post, and I am not going to, as I said before and as with many of our previous conversation, I feel that report is useless. Because in this case, if I reported all 6 post (maybe more, I don't know and I didn't count) it will take me 6 minutes to do it. You need to report one, write down a reason, press report, wait for a few second then move on to the second post.
And to be fair, I don't really care whether my posting privileges is reversed in that section, I am just using this as an example as to how this things is going on. I mean, this is your forum, and you are the moderator, and if you don't care how this forum becoming, just rubber stamping on people request, who am I to say otherwise lol...
Basically...The burden of forum policing falls upon the members, not the admin staff.
Well, maybe they have a different standard on policing the forum than us, to us, this is their job.
I mean in a city, a police force don't just depend on their citizen reporting crime to enforce law, we assume the police force in our country would go on and actively do something to enforce law. Either by patrolling, or by intervention or by punishing those who broke the law.
Maybe the admin team in this forum did not see it this way....I don't know...
