Speaking for myself, I rarely delete sarcasm. As well as that, posters themselves may delete their own posts. So, you need to give a more specific exa...

I banned him just a couple of days after being alerted to his behaviour and giving him a warning, so I don't think that's a fair assessment.
October 16, 2017 at 08:31
I was hoping to quietly ignore that one. In all seriousness though, it's a fair and honest opinion. I don't agree as I appreciated the option of feedb...

Ironically, Thanatos was banned after a complaint about him by a member who afterwards left in protest at our moderation. Go figure. TGW was banned fo...
October 16, 2017 at 08:15
But me no buts. It me no its >>> It them with your but. :P
October 16, 2017 at 07:10
Fair enough, although to achieve balance and give members a chance to complain a bit more, I propose a new poll, the Poll of Standard Moderation Stand...
October 16, 2017 at 06:58
Ok.
October 15, 2017 at 16:33
? The discussion should still be there afaik.
October 15, 2017 at 16:31
Don't want to be the spoilsport but Buffy the vampire slayer is slightly off-topic. Maybe take it to the Shout box?
October 15, 2017 at 12:19
Hmm...
October 15, 2017 at 12:16
Is that an instruction? :)
October 15, 2017 at 12:01
Maybe. Although I was hoping "Love Story" would be showing next. As long as it's not teachers, I'm good with it.
October 15, 2017 at 11:55
From "The Hunger Games" to "Analyze This". As long as everyone's happy...
October 15, 2017 at 11:26
Fair criticism and solid advice.
October 15, 2017 at 10:44
Thank you, Michael.
October 15, 2017 at 03:45
Let the TPF Hunger Games begin!

My take from all this is that @"jamalrob" and @"Hanover" are lesbian lovers and I am a rather treacherous individual. So, lunch or dinner?
October 15, 2017 at 03:17
I didn't agree with @"SophistiCat" and then "run off" and make a poll, but, of course, I didn't tell him to "beat" it either. He's entitled to complai...

@"Postmodern Beatnik" helped us out for a while and was great. I didn't get to know Incision that well. I'll take your word for it though.
October 14, 2017 at 15:51
The only certain result of whatever approach we take to this is that someone will hate it. We are listening though.
October 14, 2017 at 14:35
That actually made me laugh out loud. Don't take that as a barometer though.
October 14, 2017 at 14:27
No, that was when I PMed her comparative pics of us and replaced your face with Hanover's. (Probably the most immoral thing anyone has ever done with ...
October 14, 2017 at 14:25
8-)
October 14, 2017 at 14:19
(I don't want this to be confrontational by the way. The main point is for us to listen to you.)
October 14, 2017 at 11:39
There are only a few moderators and we don't all share the same view.
October 14, 2017 at 11:36
An odd comment. This is the most strictly moderated popular philosophy forum out there. Anyway, I've started a discussion on general moderation standa...
October 14, 2017 at 11:29
We're growing not dying and have been doing a good job of that since the start. In any case, this is largely irrelevant to your complaint. And as I sa...
October 14, 2017 at 11:14
If you read the discussion just before yours, you'll see we've also been accused of being too strict in our standards for the science category and the...
October 14, 2017 at 10:51
Zing. Right on cue. :D (Y)
October 14, 2017 at 09:50
Tips for successful courtship 1: Look at what @"Hanover" does and then do the exact opposite. Don't say I never did anything for you. (Y)
October 14, 2017 at 09:42
@"TimeLine" So not funny. You are like an old couple sitting on a park bench giggling at a bunch of old men sitting on a park bench giggling at a pige...
October 14, 2017 at 09:33
Nope. No-one beats Sappy's snappy chappies. 8-)
October 13, 2017 at 12:13
Well, I don't think this is how it works with transgender people. And the whole analogy with feeling too fat etc. seems like naive folk psychology. If...

Military technology has moved on a bit since muskets.
October 13, 2017 at 03:57
I'm afraid I'm going to have to institute strict punishment for anyone who posts another of these wonderful limericks, which are much better than regu...
October 13, 2017 at 01:55
Hopefully, @"Michael"'s solution will work. In any case, I would tend to take you at your word unless I had reason to believe otherwise.
October 12, 2017 at 18:11
Just click on someone's name and then press "Send a message".
October 12, 2017 at 12:01
I picked that one up from a year in Aus and still use it. I grew up in a town where we call everyone "boy"* (pronounced "by" in the local accent). *(O...
October 12, 2017 at 11:59
Yes, people get pissed at us when we delete their OPs. We know. But the onus is on you to make an OP that is fit for purpose. It's unrealistic to expe...
October 12, 2017 at 11:50
That was sarcasm, Mike.
October 12, 2017 at 11:34
+None of the mods mentioned anything about academic qualifications being necessary for writing any OP.
October 12, 2017 at 11:32
It would likely have caused a lot of confusion. I agree with @"StreetlightX"'s suggestion. And I would add maybe try to be a little less ambitious. Pi...
October 12, 2017 at 11:26
Last time I did. Then again the book was "How to make $251 with zero effort". Worth every penny.
October 12, 2017 at 10:13
Au contraire, I meant replying to me should not be a priority. Yet you persist in repeating the same mistake!
October 12, 2017 at 10:10
Serves you right for getting your priorities wrong. :)
October 12, 2017 at 10:07
Would you say the same of psychopathy?
October 12, 2017 at 10:02
Cheque's in the post. ;)
October 12, 2017 at 09:50
Haha, not as far as I know. Thanks for the idea though. I'm pretty sure it's impossible not to mention unethical.
October 12, 2017 at 09:41
You can repost it here if you like as long as it is exactly as it was when removed. (We also have a version).
October 12, 2017 at 09:39
(Apart from the 10 minute wedding prep. I bet you 50 bucks that's hyperbole).
