I had this plan, see. i was going to write a lengthy, eloquent and accurate post suggesting that specific details rather than vague accusatiions might help, because I haven't seen anything like...oh. Crap. Actually I HAVE seen some pretty heavy-handed and frankly incompetant moderating at DAZ lately, so I guess I DO know something of what you folks are discussing. Hmm...

There are legit reasons to remove posts-like breaking the TOS by reposting to get attention "look at me, LOOK AT ME!!!" style (in the same way that DAZ should ban leading "!" characters in products they sell). But on reflection I realise that they HAVE been deleting at least some posts for little to no reason. Whimsical post deletion isn't funny, and the way they handle complaints about post deletion is excruciatingly poor.

I mean - telling you that a post got deleted and you'll be told why if it gets reinstated? Really? What about telling you what was in the post? If quoted back, MAYBE you could repost it minus the offending part. But the blank "it's gone, it wasn't your post but your post was in proximity to one we didn't like" really is the most cackhanded excuse I've ever read.

So, yeah, some kind of sign of comprehension of the problems would be good. I think Rand said something.

Thanks to pengy for pointing out that when we're not screaming about the daz forums being unfair we tend to be screaming about the rendo forums being unfair. I've never frequented anywhere else enough to consider them unfrair, but I guess it's a general thing with forums.

Now...to see if I can go find wherfe Rand has responded to criticisms of the forum...
