Of reasons why some posts are deleted, while others are not. Real answers. PLEASE. And don't tell me it's the language.

Anna - I'm not the only boss here :)

It get's deleted when it's...

Spam
Sock puppets
Abusive
Aggravates DR1

It get's locked when it's...

Too raunchy
Way over the top
Hijacked
Personal attacks

The "DR Debates" forum is handled by Pib and Hillbilly.
They have free rain to steer that anyway they want.
If you get deleted from that forum, it's their doing and
we back them 100% :)

When you get deleted, it's not personal and sometimes
innocent posts get chopped as well if they relate directly
to the initial deleted post.

Don't worry, I get deleted every day, usually just before I
hit the reply button responding to certain posts.

I have learn't to be semi-tactful and really don't give a
"rodents bottom" to peoples "virtual opinions" of me :)

Hope that clears things up...

You're right jose?to, it's not the language. I can't believe how vulgar most of the posts have been lately, especially the posts about Haitian women. They've just been down right disrespectful and misogynistic.

I, too, wonder what makes one post appropriate and another not. I know Robert has final say, and I respect that, but some of the posts just go way overboard especially those that contain personal attacks on people because they have a difference of opinion.

Hey Debs

Remember this:

The Haitian Women original post was a news item to begin with. It was not our fault that the possibly "involved" government authority(female) in Elias Pi?a who dennounced that those dark skin broads were seducing their Dominican husbands away went to the press to make such stupid claim.

Now if you want soft porno go the business, living or leagl forums. This is the XXX hole.

As someone recently reminded me, "one man's (or woman's) garbage is another man's treasure".

Don't like what your reading? Change the channel.

Roberts treasure takes first priority, it's his sandbox.

It's the old age sayings... You can't please all the people all of the time... and one persons rubbish is another's...

Just like you don't have to watch adverts, you don't have to read threads/posts. If an individual is offended by a certain thread, but they continue to read it and even post in it, not much I can do.

If a particular post or thread offends, then use the "email the moderator" function and it will be taken care of one way or the other.

Okay, I see. Something's wrong with me. I tell you.

And that reminds of the NIGHT i tried parking my old--and beat-up--vehicle across the street from this club that I used to frequent.

The valet kid comes running and says, "You can't park here", and I say, "Why not?" He says, "Because you can't", then I say, "Show me where it says that I can't. This is not the club's space, so show me."

He says, "Oh, you think you're smart. If you're so smart, how come you're driving a Honda?"

Well, he too, won that argument. I'm still driving that Honda.

Golo - The original post was fine. I read it as a news item and I thought to myself interesting information. It wasn't until we started getting all the TMI details from other posters that it got to be a little much.

My problem is with the posts that are down right abusive to people and that describe very graphic sexual details. I think we could all live without the visualization of Criss and some prostitute, no? I realize that it's not for the faint of heart and I don't consider myself to be that kind of person. I just feel that some of you guys need to tone it down a little. DR1 is a Web site, but it's also a business. I'm sure if the advertisers were aware of some of the content on this board, they wouldn't be very happy.

I just think a little consistency is needed with the thread closing and deleting processes. That's all. And as I said, I respect that it's Robert's decision and I also know that if I don't like it, don't read it.

How about we password protect the "General Forum"?
Better still, let's nominate a moderator?

Message boards ebb and flow. If enough people complain about certain posting styles, then I will go with the majority and stop it permanently.

Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on your perspective, this is life.
We are exposed to the good and the bad on a daily basis.

As far as the advertisers are concerned, some participate directly and indirectly in these forums. If they wasn't happy, I'm sure they would have let us known a long time ago one way or the other.

As I said, we have a "report a post to a moderator" function, use it!
Also take note of what threads have been closed????

I agree with Debs. Some of the comments are outright sexist and/or disrespectful to women. I resent having to endure vulgarity to be accepted in the inner circle of the DR1 "boys". And I'm no delicate flower either.

I went to visit an 80 year old lady one day and she was watching some talk show and she said to me " What is happening to the world? Everyone is having sex with everyone else's husband. And some of these shows tell you all!! " But I noticed she didn't change the chanel even though I was there for a visit.

I don't care about dirty language; it does not bother me. But a couple of my posts get deleted here and in the Debates forum. I don't use the 'F' word in a public setting, so what gives?

Some posters must be contributor$ of a different kind. And THAT, i understand.

How about another forum just for the boys to talk about their sexual transactions on?

I don't think password protecting or having a moderator is the answer since it is open and it is general. I think consistency is. To me, that means if it falls under the categories you defined earlier, it gets locked or deleted.

I can't be the only one that finds these posts in question offensive.

Dear "EuroSemen"

An "Outright Sexist" remark on DR1? What is the World "Cuming" to?You NEVER hear anything like that in "Real Life"!"Disrespect" to women,Is that like not giving a big enough "TIP" to a "Hooker" after a "GREAT BJ"?You want to be accepted into the DR1 "BOYS" "Inner Circle-Jerk"? Wow,cool!You can be permanent "Pivot Person"!("It's a "MAN" thing!) You don't like having to endure "Vulgarity"? I'm Sooooooo Sorry! .....By the way, did you see that the Space Shuttle blew up and killed seven really brave and wonderful human beings ?........THAT,is VULGAR my dear!!!!!Not the rantings of a group of individuals with way too much free time on our hands! Cris....................................................................................................I just read "Little Debbies" post about creating a forum for;"Dirty Little Boys"LOL,..She doesn't realize that Roberts comments about having a "Password",or a "Moderator" for the "GENERAL FORUM" were made,"Tongue-In-Cheek"! Guess "Tongue-InCheek" has "OTHER' meanings to her!!!................................................................................................"LittleJoe" I would have to take a guess and say that you get "DELETED" because your posts are like the shouts of a "Spoiled Little Brat",then you go on and on about things that only you understand,and say the same silly things over and over and over again!Then you post a "Personal Attack" without any socialy redeeming value! You are like a "PORNO" film.Seen-one,seen-em-all!Boring!

Since most of the posts that somebody or other chooses to be offended by are in the General Stuff section, it might be well for everyone to read again the nature of this section:

General stuff
For all those questions without a home.
Not for the faint hearted or easily offended!

Jesus Christ!I wish everyone would stop whining!If everyone would take a step back and look at the whole picture I'll bet we can all agree that this is the best message board in town so quit lamenting about a few curses and references to sex.

And Anna..you hit the nail right on the head.
