The Wee Green Light That Couldn't

So the ref made a mistake. Big deal, move on.

"Posting removed content is something that happens frequently" is beside the point - we are talking about separate post which was deleted with no good reason.

No, we're talking about the mod's interpretation of the repost. Try to keep up.

So, if reposting in anger is a very typical reaction, why is the mod lacking in intelligence for interpreting gp's action under that light?

Palkaky admit defeat. You are fighting a losing battle. Continuing to insult people when the vast majority of people disagree with you is doing you no good.

No doubt you will throw some more insults my way for pointing this out.

Maybe I'm the fool here...

"I care about this site". Isn't that special. Reeks to high heaven of emotional drivel. 'Sincerity' is between $h and the $yphil word in dictionaries.

No argument again. No surprise there

More proof that your insult towards the mod was gratuitous.

Bingo... and also over playing a weak hand of cards.

I was asked for my motive and that is it.

If it's weak, show me. I'm calling bluffs left and right, but nobody seems to put the cards on the table.

Will you?

greenpawn posted a joke that I removed, as it could lead to confusion for new members.
A little while later, I noticed the post back up again.

I assumed GP was being a troll as so often happens on these forums. Obviously he is not - I now realise my mistake.
He got a stern worded message from me asking him not to post this type of post, as it may mislead new members who may be looking for help. My tone was a little harsh, and for this I apologise.

My actions though, were in accordance with our guidelines.

Also, greenpawn was NEVER BANNED. He was warned to not repost his little joke, for the stated reasons, or he may receive a forum ban.
Which is interesting, because I see he went and posted it again.

If the new members get confused, they can always ask for clarification. I fail to see why you needed to do anything.

I can see moderating a post that goes against site guide lines, but I don't think "posting things that might lead to a new member's confusion" is something that is ever mentioned.

I have never seen a post moderated for any such reason. If a post is going to be moderated, then I think it should be for a very good reason.

At least that's my take on it.
