should mods be allowed to merge or delete posts

[kaladrew]

is there an integrity issue here? I believe so.

[raytri]

No. It can be a problem if a mod is deleting or editing posts merely because they disagree with them. But I haven't seen anything to indicate that's the case.

"No. It can be a problem if a mod is deleting or editing posts merely because they disagree with them." - not my question.

If we can't merge or delete posts, what is it do you think we should be allowed to do?

[political]

yes u people should take note of insulting posts.i think i am the only member here in the history of this forum who has got the most personal attacks and racial comments just because i am a muslim and represent muslim views here

No, not so, Political. You get the same thing back that you dish out....with your anti-Jewish, anti-semite, hate-filled posts about a group of people you hate simply because they are Jewish.

Many of us Americans have fathers and grandfathers who fought in WWII and actually liberated Jews who were being slaughtered by the millions. Personally, I judge people individually; some Jews I might like and some I might dislike. Some blacks I like; some I don't like. Some whites I like; some I don't like. But one thing I know for sure is that I DISLIKE people who hate an entire group of people simple because of the color of their skin or their religion.......and who engage in teaching such hate to their children early in life. So, if there are a LOT of Muslims doing that.....then THOSE are the ones I DISLIKE. Not because of their own faith, but because of their behavior.

First of all, the quick answer is "YES."

But what bothers you about our merging posts? Why is it that merging threads where the subject is virtually the same and therefore can be found all in one place? I've even merged my own posts into another posters thread if he/she began the subject before I did and they are virtually the same. It's a judgment call often. Sometimes, if I can see that it's the same subject; but a totally different angle than the first thread, then I just leave it as is.

As far as "deleting" posts.....we Mods rarely do so. And even when we do, the thread gets moved to a DELETE section for other Mods to review and voice their opinion if they do not agree.

There's no vast right-wing conspiracy here, so I really don't get your complaint. Maybe you can explain why it bothers you so?

NOT removing individual personal-posts by White Jackel---which by definition are clear violations of forum rules---completely disproves all pious claims of neutrality by moderators here.

I have flagged these and they were ignored. Then it became obvious that political is a sock puppet for a moderator here, just as rota was, and White Jackel is being used to direct a vendetta against Garr and myself and others who have noticed the insanely biased moderating here.

I called one of the mods here a lying hyocrite today for his statement that mods remove abusive posts. Until that actually DOES happen with the racists here, you will never as a group be taken seriously.

ALL OF YOU ARE AT FAULT FOR WHITE JACKEL.

Quiller, by "flagging" do you mean you reported the offensive posts by clicking on the exclamation point? I didn't get a report.

NOT my question.


and JP5 HAS deleted posts from within her posts in the past that she didn't agree with.
