May I ask what the attacks/insults were under colin (bridgend)s post, Controversial Topic. I didn't see any personal name calling unless I'm missing the point.If there was fair enough but I'm just hoping that we aren't being treated like children if we say anything that goes against political correctness that seems to permeate through our lives in the last few years.
As a moderator isn't it a good idea to say why the thread has been deleted, by saying "all the attacks and insults (30 mins so far)". doesn't elaborate and how can people be educated to what is allowed to be posted and what is not without the full facts, afterall, a lot of people will not have read some posts so like me will be left confused as to what is acceptable or not.
At WGC there are around 100 Moderators and like here, although theres only three, some are more stricter than others (thankfully I'm classed as a moderate/friendly one by the players/chatters). We don't have the choice of deleting the posts because the chat is in real time but for attacks/profanity/incitement etc we have the tools to gag/stop chat or boot people. When this is done we do it democratically by informing the culprit the reason why and by doing that we are educating them. If they promise to behave we can ungag them but at all times chat logs are taken of any tool use.
The point of all that drivel is that other members see what is happening and learn what is acceptable but I must admit the players/chatters aren't as mollycoddled as we are sometimes on here.
I posted in that thread and now I'm left wandering if I upset your views regarding my comments on politically correct people, gypsies or maybe my comment about illegal immigrants.
If there was personal attacks against other posters I agree, they should be deleted, but to delete a whole thread just doesn't make sense.
