Title: What the smeg is going on with this site ?
Post by: fishy_fiz on July 26, 2011, 06:39:35 AM
I know Im risking wasteing my time yet again typing this, but Im not sure what else to do. Basically for the last week or so more posts I make here are being deleted/vanishing than not. Can anyone elaborate as to why please ? As thing stand I just dont see the point in using what was until recently my favorite amiga site if more than half of anything I type is going to vanish. It's not just one or 2 particular threads either, nor have the vanishing posts been in any way aggressive or offensive. Perhaps coincidently though it's started happening after I complained about having some posts deleted where I shared sentiments with people who posted after me (whose posts didnt get deleted).

Most likely a server issue rather than anything deliberate.

@ fishy_fiz

Why what's went missing this time (I haven't noticed any of your posts disappearing) and apart from the site running a lot smoother since the "big fix" I haven't lost a single post in the past few days myself... :)

I looked throug the logs to see if any of your postes were kicked and couldn't find anything.  Can you give a specific instance with thread and what you post # should have been (eve a range would help)?

Off the top of my head, today the AROS UFO:AI thread and yesterday (I think) the smurf icons thread. UFO:AI was either 2nd or 3rd post, the smurf icons one was roughly #15 I think. I can give further examples if you like?

I looked over the UFO:AI thread and didn't see any deleted posts. Are you sure they are getting sent properly? IE, are you redirected to the thread after hitting submit where you can see your post?
 
If so, can you see your post and then afterwards it disappears?

huh, it sure won't let you do it...

Boo... Hiss... Fascists... :furious:

I used to be a glazier and I fixed broken ******* all the time, sometimes the ******* were broken by accident other times the ******* where broken by hooligans... :(

But I loved me job repairing broken ******* and now here I am not even allowed to mention the fact that I used to earn a living repairing *******... :(

What next... wont we be able say... ******** or ***** or **** ***** ****** even... :(

it's just lucky for me that us Scots pronounce ******* as windays at least I can say that... :)

PS: That means I can tell any more stories about peeking through auld Mrs Johnstones ******* from across the road... :(

Maybe not... maybe Billy Boy Grates has bought all rights to the word ******* and now no-one can say it any longer... :eek:

That means if you were to say some like "I was looking out my ******* the other day"...

you'd have to say instead...

"I was looking out my molten quartz sand & a few additives the other day"

Could open up a whole new way of speaking this could... :)

on the contrary. missing posts, unexplained moderation, and bizarre censorship are all related in the following question: who is minding the store around here?

when even moderators are surprised about keyword replacement (such as typing ********* or tedd), something is off. i would suggest that picture of a train-wreck is more appropriate when alluding to site management rather than the direction of this thread.

Seriously, that's ****ed up. Cant type WlNDOWS, but people are free to,and do, much to my disdain talk about the bigger evil that is Apple. WlNDOWS/MS were never nearly as much a dictatorship/monopoly (commercial success !=dictatorship/monopoly) as Apple yet Apple garbage makes the front page. Tall poppy strikes its ugly head I guess.

Yeah but everytime something CRApple make the front page all you have to do is jump in and slag it off and rip the P out of it which it deserves... :)

*********'s ******* is the worst OS ever, followed by CRApples OSX and then Linux... :)

Course the best OS ever was Workbench but the world is full of muppets who never knew this... :)

You can always give them their proper names though if you really wanna mention them ie: MickySoft & Windoze... :)

Considering past opinions and actions then (Kent springs to mind), perhaps there's another "company" name you should recommend for filtering? [evil grin]

And besides this is an Amiga forum why should we be talking about alternative un-Amiga like OSes?

You are obviously talking about Franko. What's up with the trolling? Has he even done anything that warrants abuse? If you are only going to troll when you log in do it somewhere else. Stop being a dickhead.
