Look, Im not a mod, I understand that if you make a thread and its closed for what you feel is an unjust reason then its frustrating. Ive noticed an awful lot of threads started just to bring up your anger towards just that, and what seems to be an attempt to get everyone else on here to side with you. It looks worse to the rest of us when you do that, and their is nothing I think you can do more childish on here than to go behind a mods back and bring everyone else into it publicly.


If your upset with one of them or anyone for that matter, hash it out via PM with them, Ive been guilty of forgetting to do that sometimes too. However though some ppl are amused by it, most of us dont want to see your thread made to complain about another thread being closed. PM some ppl if you want, if your mad at a single mod and feel they were unjust, PM another one and link him to your situation to see if maybe one of the mods was just having a bad day, but if a couple or a few of them agree that the thread was not good or your posts for that matter, maybe you need to recheck your thoughts on what you've typed out, or your subject matter.

Over time most of us have become friends with the mods on here, they are not some angry aggro jerks behind the screen just waiting to crush your feelers. For the most part most of them are very fair and will PM you to converse over your situation.

Anyways, just tossin this out, you guys dont have to leave this open, I just think too many ppl keep doing this and its getting real old. The rules here are set for the fact that its quite a family site, that means kids too, so their has to be some descent rules in place, I mess them up at times too, but you gotta suck it up if your called on it and just understand or at least accept it for what it is. For the most part this to me is one of the best ran sites around. Im hoping its that way for along time, other than the bacon crap.

Alright, whatev.
 
One thing that makes this problem occur is some mods will delete your posts/thread without giving their name so you can discuss it.

x2, if you don't want your thread to be deleted, don't post a stupid thread! Although sometimes people might post stupid things in your thread that results in it closing...

its inevitable that somebody will post a thread that will be closed or deleted.

i don't think its that difficult for a mod to put there name in the deletion notice, neo does it. I understand mods may not want to deal with it, but i think its what you sign up for when you agree to mod.

I personally don't have a problem with posts that have been edit or deleted of mine, I just think you should be able to discuss it with the mod that did it if desired.

also red devil I appreciate your willingness to help

When the thread is deleted an automatic message is sent with no name just the mfk autobot showing. the mods don't do it on purpose it's just how it is.

if you knew how many threads are moderated on mfk you'd realise why a second pm is not sent, be thankful if you get a thread deleted that you don't receive one as it would usually be for a reason and not a good one.
 
i totally agree with your sentiment but i honestly think this thread is pointless i dont think anyone will really benefit from this thread

it's not pointless as people may start to realise that there is a lot of work that goes into keeping this site ticking over and maybe not start questioning the method.
