...what's that stuff with just deleting topics for no apparent reason? Yes, I AM referring to the topic I opened last night and which miracolously vanished in the meantime without someone even dropping me a PM about the reasons. Since I wasn't violating any boards-rules, I would be MORE than interested in who did it and even more WHY... :not_ok: :angry:

why should they have to tell you that.
Grow up. This isn't a democracy.

:) :)

What was the topic about anyway?

@ Chuck : What was that topic about ? I don't remember seeing it last night. :blink:

@ Data : It's hard to grow up when you get blamed or punished without any explaination. It might actually end-up bringing the opposite of the "growing up" effect intented. :whistle:

There's a difference between "no democracy" and "tyranny". As I said, there are rules here (of which I didn't violate any with my topic), which apply to ALL users AND mods AND admins, or they would be completely useless. The only person on this board who wouldn't need to justify his actions is Kosta, since he owns the place. And somehow I doubt it was him who deleted that topic.

@ Lonely Vazdru: It was a link to a rather interesting book for all fans of "Pirates! (Gold)"... :angel:

Some of my topics in the Compatibility forums and the Technical Help or whatever it is have been deleted, I didn't get a explanaton either.

I doubt that qualifies in your situation tho' as there was a reason to delete topics in the aforementioned forums, for cluttering reasons.
But I definitely think you deserve an actual reason for why your topic was deleted. Considering Data's response, it seems that not all admins and mods here are free of corruption. :bleh:

Well, were it tirany you'd probably be banned already just for complaining (and three different rugby teams would show up on your door wanting to practice their hopping in place on your face).

Are you sure the topic was deleted? I know some topics have dissapeared in the past (my last topic that disapeared was the "old" Some Statistics thread - and there were quite a few replys in it as well - and there was no reason for it to happen). Maybe there was just some fluke. Some random thing why your post vanished.

If it would be breaking any rules you'd probably be notified and warned.

That's what I was complaining about.

But since you say this kinda thing happened already with topics just vanishing without actually being deleted, I'll take your word for it. I didn't know about that.
This topic can be closed then (and deleted, if anyone feels like it LOL )... :angel:

EDIT (just to make things clear): I didn't want to imply the mods around here would actually go around and close topics just for the heck of it. In fact I was surprised when I found that topic missing and was really wondering who would actually do a thing like that...

(off-topic)Well, maybe ask it more politely next time. I mean, you seem pretty upset for having a post deleted. it's just an internet forum ;)

[asking_politely_mode]Do you sometimes delete posts? I remember my posts beeing deleted two or three times in the past. What was that about? [/asking_politely_mode]

I consider deleting a post for no apparent reason and without information a pretty rude thing to do... so why would I be the one to be "polite"? I know now that it is likely that nobody deleted this post at all, but if that's the case, no one should be offended by my question anyway, am I right?

But this topic is through anyway, so maybe that would be another discussion.

W00000t...
wtf is this all about?
I deleted your topic (and link) as it was pretty utterly pointless.
It was a link to a book about pirates in the mexican gulf...

If someone wanted to know about it, they would have found it themselves..

I usualy don't PM when i delete/modify/move posts or topics, and i have no intention of doing so unless it's nessesery.

As faar as i could see the book had N O T H I N G to do with the game, as you sugested in the topic..

(i know this will turn into a flame-fest) :)

Don't worry, it won't, as far as I'm concerned... I already know what to think about you, and that's what I stick with, since you just proed it to be right anyway... :angel:

Go on and delete another one then. :sneaky:

And i should care what you think of me because of...?

I never said you should.

In here it is not a place to talk about this, and don´t need to be rude, I think it is best to someone close and erase this topic, because if someone came here for the first time and read this maybe will be with a wrong idea of Abandonia, i think we are very sympatic, don´t make believe another idea. :ranting:

It wasn't ME who started this... and if this topic would give "other ideas" because of certain official actions... would they be so wrong then?

But as I said, anyone with the appropiate powers IS free to delete this topic, anyway...

I think getting angry about this is a natural reaction, but it happens all the time. Posts or topics are deleted for various reasons, and the best we can do is get along with it.

I don't know what happened to this topic you mentioned (haven't seen it at all) but isn't it possible it was moved without leaving a link? I do that sometimes and if I do I never PM about it.

Sometimes someone complains about a cancelled topic and I always join to his lament, remembering my cancelled topic, who was called "Save the traffic cones": whe lost him forever... :cry:

Anyway, I think that instead of deleting, should be better close those kind of topic with a last ironic post! That could be more stylish: even in a non-democracy we need style!

Look I know this doesn't concern me. But I already Sence a flamefest. Maybe just close it since the Meaning of the topic has already been fulfilled.

People - it's all over!

Chuck made a post.
Titan deleted it.
Chuck complained.
We all were making guesses.
Titan explained.
Chuck and Titan exchanged a few words - on a very high cultural level (which was a pleasent surprise).
The thing could have been forgoten, but new posts coma in (from people who obviously replied without reading the whole thread through).

I suggest this one gets closed (question asked and answered - no further need to keep the topic open).
