Darin Bastedo Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 The members here voice their discontent over an obviously un-popular practice by the administration, we're told by one mod that even though he agrees that the current way the Forum is set up is confusing and poorly organized, that he's going to continue the unpopular practice because of some dogmatic adherence to a supposed rule that in practice does nothing but upset the members. Never once have I heard a single person complain about pick-up trucks clogging up the under glass or on the workbench section, yet the mods are bound and determined to move them because "there is a pick-up section". Then to really show how little the members input is valued instead of working to resolve the issue, the thread is deleted and we all are supposed to forget it happened. Did you guys notice there wasn't a single forum member that posted in favor of moving the finished pick-up posts? there presence in the Under glass topic obviously bothers nobody but the mods, and you guys are always complaining about how much you have to do here. Why not just stop moving them, it would make a lot of people happier, and apparently bother nobody, and leave you more time to deal with more pressing issues.

Darin, I have been working with Gregg for a long time to resolve this issue.
Jordan White Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Why delete the thread though? I've never understood why threads get deleted without explanation, when it invariably means someone else will post asking why it was deleted (here's a good example), with the new thread invariably being locked. Why can't there be a section specifically for forum suggestions and feedback, like at SA?
Harry P. Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 That thread wasn't deleted by me... so I can't tell you why it was deleted. Whenever I lock a thread, I try to make a last post explaining why I did it. Other mods may have a different approach. If you want an explanation on why that particular thread was deleted I suggest you PM the other mod(s). A "suggestions and feedback" area would be ok by me. And now I'm locking this thread. Reason: Because I answered Darin's initial question, and I answered your questions, and I sense nothing but trouble ahead if I leave this open.
