FCH Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 I get what the mods are doing (attempting) its when a thread about topic x become derailed into topic z within one page of postings. Yay idle banter is cool and all, but when someone posts about a topic and within a blink of eye its veered into something completely different and its 5 okes "bantering" on for 30 pages-then yes , delete it. The rest of the hubbers opens a topic based on its title and kind of expect the interactions to be about said title. Ironically this method will be more inclusive of all users, although the serial banter boys might differ.
EmptyB Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 So far hasn't made any difference in my life....things do seem rather subdued lately. Good or bad? I don't know....

I tend to agree with you on this one.

Boerklong Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Yes some topics are more sensitive than others for derailing. I think its a matter of time before we just conform to the norm of moderating and accept it and a couple of weeks from now we wont even be bothered with text being removed as we all will hopefully be in the habit of thinking twice before posting.
