Why are so many hoops.com.au threads deleted?

There are some seriously relevant threads started here, yet time and time again they are deleted. Care to explain Isaac?

When you use a forum that is not operated by a community of moderators you usually have a dictatorship not a democracy and thus the ruler of said forum can decide what the want people to be able to discuss?

Sometimes "threads" are not constructed well and really only incite people not promote democratic discussion hmmm

There is a community of moderators on Hoops SA, it's not just Isaac.

Honestly, most of the threads that get deleted are just spam, and for those that aren't it's pretty obvious why they got the chop.

What happened to the one the other day about Joyce trialling with Kings? If someone said something nasty cant that comment just be deleted?

alexkrad: don't hate the player, hate the system. The forum engine allows for anon's.

Spam, legal reasons, trolling, etc. Any thread in particular? The Kings one someone mentioned was Thomas trolling (some would know him as joycefan on OzHoops). Deleted it before noticing some reasonable replies and then it was too late to recover them. Figured it was somewhat of a dupe of the previous Smith-replacement thread.

Ref panel one was deleted at the request of the author (after realising it was legally questionable) and would have been deleted since then anyway as I received a formal complaint about it also.

Ate late lunch at my desk while working. Been out at a meeting since.

So Issac -
I assume from the views of the various tolls and anon's that your desk lunch would have consisted of the simple but pure hopes and dreams of innocent hoops posters and various deep fried portions of cute puppies and kittens that your evil minions stole from young children ?

Touche' Isaac- this is a great forum!!!

Mod-squad can report/"flag" posts that a mod believes may contravene rules listed in rules section above message box.

Isaac then stops eating cute puppies and makes a decision.

If Isaac doesn't think it contravenes the rules, he reinstates it.

The younger generation of posters may suffer from "Facebook" syndrome (not understanding wat you post on the net can/does impact on the real world), therefore experiencing a higher number of reported/deleted posts.

Very Old, have you been following me around?!

Well this thread didn't take too long to turn into one giant blowjob.

There is nothing wrong with the forum, we aren't criticising it, the issue is with the quality and lack of consistency with the moderating.

Hi Issac -

no I'm not following you around, I simply manage a puppy farm ( with the emphasis on farm ).... or as you and your gang may choose to call it - "the feedlot".

But I am curious as to how well acquainted Anonlicious is with your anatomy - he seems to be very fixated upon the term " giant b##wj#b ". So given his obvious oral obsession ("liscious") - I'm a little concerned about the climate of moral turpitude my little furry fritters may be going into once acquired by your henchpersons.

There are a number of posts that shouldn't be up there if they breach the forum rules. Apart from Isaac who are the moderators?

BTW, when I think of Hoops there are two people who spring to mind, both shall remain nameless. The first was getting heaps on the forum and commented to me one day that Hoops was "about 20 w@nkers who think they know more about coaching than I do". The second was a former team owner who said to me "I used to like Hoops, but now (roll of eyes) ......."

Good work Isaac on a job well done.

Licious, I'll keep an eye out for your use of the Report Post function and emailed suggestions on improvements you'd like to see.

Some of the time , not all of the time I look at ozhoops and there doesn't appear to be any moderating and it's not a pretty sight.
I seem to recall a song about middleweight 'Hurricane ' and Arthur Dexter Bradley , Miss Patty Valentine and Alfred Bellow sued the writer and won a lotta money.

Everyone involved in keeping a site such as this open to the public is much appreciated by all concerned, I am sure I do not speak only for myself...

Posts come and posts go, nature of the beast, but this site is one of the better ones out there, thanks to Isaac and the crew!
