Mods to leave messages when they...

[Sparrow]

When we get a thread deleted, could I please request that a mod has to leave you a message why? I was recruiting a Packet Sniffer (Which is allowed in this forum) Does not involve wz editing bla bla bla. Yeah so I don't know what I did wrong so it would be handy if mods told us why

Thanks,
Daniel

Where is this rule that states recruiting a packer sniffer is allowed?

Wth, I've seen P-Sniffers be recruiting before, maybe it's time to re-read >< Still though, I didn't know and a mod could of left a message.

Nope.

If you post appropriately then your posts/threads don't get deleted. Obviously recruiting a packet sniffer is against the rules if the thread got deleted.

This seems more like a complaint than a suggestion.

 

[Junkers]

Mods shouldn't have to explain their actions. If you want to know why your post/thread got deleted then go read the rules and see why. Mods are janitors, not clerical workers.

 

[SmoothFlow]

Mod's should be able to delete threads when they want.

 

[Rishwin]

Absolutely not. When i was a mod, I distinctly remember often deleting 20-50 threads at once. As if a moderator's job isn't difficult enough without having to type out a "report log" on each and every thread they delete.

Here's a good indication though - if your thread gets deleted, then it's probably not allowed!

So does this mean you are requesting an infraction for each thread that is deleted? Because, technically if it is breaking the rules it can get an infraction.

The infraction system is really the only means that I know of that vBulletin would have to facilitate such a request.

I personally don't think that would be a good idea.

he means when someones delete an thread = leave reason why you deleted the thread.

he means when someones delete an thread = leave reason why you deleted the thread.

No, he means for the Mod to message them. If he meant what you are saying, it would be pointless because regular members can't see deleted threads, nor can they see the remarks we leave when we delete the threads.

You better be kidding..

 

[Sparrow]

Don't post unless it's positive please. And I read the rules, theres no place saying no recruiting packet sniffers?

 

[foxx]

Don't post unless agreeing with you? Gotta be kidding again.

Considering how slow rz is, you want mods to spend like 5 minutes at each thread deleting it and kindly explaining the retarded user what the did wrong?

When someone delete a thread, is because he knows the thread is wrong in some way, not because he likes to click the shiny delete button, mods usually know their sections and its rules best. It's up to you to find what was wrong with it, usually by reading the rules or by using the common sense. If you are hundrer percent sure that if was his fault to delete it pm him asking why, and I'm sure he would tell you the reason why he did it and you can both come to some solution. If you think he did it because he's "omg abusing power hungry mods no liek me" go moan at the reds.

Meh just read the whole thread and rish and laz basically said it already.

 

[No0b]

I totally agree with you Foxx

Just because it's omitted from the rules, doesn't mean it's allowed. The rules don't say "Do not hack us" but I'm pretty sure that's not allowed either.

Does the law say "don't chase a 12 year old girl down the street with a lawnmower while wearing a top hat"? No, it does not. But just because it has been omitted from the state/federal law, doesn't mean it's legal/allowed.

Pretty sure there is nothing I can add to the thread which has not already been said/explained...

So I'll leave you with this:
