Hi all. This time we could see Ted delete a tread where a lot of members did post replies, good or bad, on topic of the tread or not. This is totally wrong, in the tread there was also replies to our Administrator who also had some comments to some of the posts. When delete treads like this, where are the democratic rights to the rest of the members who also wrote replies?
That the topic being "twisted" is not any new happening at any forum, that happens all the time. Just look back in the "history" of pages.
I've copied into this tread a quote of one of my replies who are deleted, and I might as well copy into some others to, this tread will not be deleted by me, so if that happens, it have to be done by the Administrator or the Moderator.
Sad regards GJ
QUOTE:
Yes Nigel, I agree that anyone who starts a tread have the option to delete it, but as soon as there is any replies from other members in it, that option should have been closed. It's OK to delete your own posts or tread, but not as soon as there is a reply who don't nessesarily fit to the policy of the author, or that the answer is not what you would like to hear. As I see it, the replies are also done by individuals who have the right to be heard before theyr replies is being deleted, as long as there is no such things that is illegal or wrong in the policy of this boards policy. If the post written can't stand, even after there have been some replies in it, it should not have been posted at all. If this have happened just once I don't think anyone would have noticed at all, but when it happens time after time mostly by the same "treadstarter", then you can't avoid to notice, and also ask some questions about it. When it is the moderator who does it several times, then the question about sencorship may strike your mind?? (Locking of some treads do also make me think that way.)
No nigel, I don't think there is any problem to have a "leader" as long as the way to lead is like the way we see this SZ forums Admimistrator does it, but I'm not sure that the moderator thing we've seen during the past time here at SZ Technics forum is what we really need, or is it? Kind regards, GJ

Hi Nigel. Thank's for your reply. I have no problem to understand the limit of the used software, and I clearly see your points stated out here. But, as far as I can see it, the way this forum turn out regarding to delete posts because it simply don't fit to the policy of using this board as a personal "fileswap and mailing club", or some questions or words said that someone would like not been written, then it would be more fair that the posts was not deleteable at all, or even better, only deleteable by the Administrator, who at this board is you. Then everyone would be treated equal, not depending of who there is who might have the same point of view as others or not.
I know some of the members here think it is enough now, and may ask why I simply not let it go, and just keep quiet. If I did, in my point of view, that is the same as I do accept this way of sencorship, AND I DON'T !! The posts deleted was legal posts, done by members as good as any others, and if I can avoid that happen once again, then it is worth it.
SZ is a excellent board, containing several sections of forums, and why don't we see this kind of actions at the other ones? Yes I know, there are some threads deleted by the authors in all forums, but not the way we've seen it happened here, not as far as I remeber. And I can't remember frequently discussions of topics like we've seen in SZ Technics forum at any of the other parts of SZ, or am I wrong?
If this policy continue, I think there is time to concider a look around for another place to "settle down", and to be honest, it would be even more sad than when we "moved" from Technote. I can't help it, but there are some words from a newly deleted post who still rings in my ears, even if it was not directed to me: Maybe I don't belong here at all ............
Kind, but sad regards, GJ

In my opinion, there should be only one person able to delete an entire thread and that is Nigel. It is HIS Forum and any deletion should be at his discretion. I understand that the Forum is a place for the free exchange of views on many topics, related to our mutual interests and as such, is bound to get a little 'Heated' at times. However, when comments become downright offensive, then it is probably time for the Administrator to take action, maybe by deleting the thread, or if practical, deleting the offending entry. It may also be effective for the Administrator to issue a warning to any member who posts what he considers to be offensive material. Persistent offenders could be excluded from the forum. Whilst this may sound like censorship, I don't believe it will be seen as such. It is just a suggestion - for what it is worth.
