Honestly, I don't know what's being argued about. I'm not trying to take sides here, but all Natales said is she isn't seeing as many posts disappear as there claimed to be, I don't think you need to attack her for that. If you know the posts that are deleted, leave some links. And if its as out of control as dustin says it is, then I think something should be done. I do think posts should get locked if they get off of control (I almost breathed a sigh of relief the last time things got out of control here), or the poster should be warned, but I'm not too fond of downright deleting it.
The Still Hope… didn’t get deleted… exactly… it got sorta cloned into 2 threads one is marked (Reposted) or was I can't find the second now. The threads are often inaccessible, if one uses links in their emails. But the threads are still there. For a day or so it was weird. I would be interested in knowing if any posts are missing out of thread.
I'm guessing maybe it did get deleted since they had one called "(Reposted)" but like I said, I'm only guessing here. Do we know when exactly this post got deleted? And if we do, can we narrow down a rule-breaker? If we look deep into this post and can't find anything, than I think some action should be taken. Especially if we can find more deleted posts (to reiterate Natales question, were any more threads deleted and then braught back.. or just deleted?). Like I said, I think just deleting them is wrong, and if its a consistent behavior we need to contact RAWA.
Also thanks for clarifying the rules Natales, I appreciate it. Also from the looks of things, yeah it is up to the mods discretion, does anyone know if they're instructed of any guidelines of any sort to discipline rule-breakers?
What do you all think? What would you like to see RAWA do?
And to answer your question Jamey, I'd love to see him getting involved with what we're doing here. Not the "hacking" (because none of that is going on here? Right guys *wink wink*) but perhaps to give us a bit of insight on how Cyan comes up with their age ideas, modeling techniques, ect. I think RAWA may be a helpful resource, that is unless he's getting tied up managing the community, from the flaming I've seen here, and some posts on MOUL forum, it wouldn't suprise me if he was.
