Deleting posts
Posted: Thu Oct 07, 2004 11:08 am
As many of you have noticed and commented, we get a lot of posts on the Bobcat Athletics board that don't belong on there (they belong on the smack board, or on a kindergarten blackboard with a bad grade next to it).
Often, I will move these posts to the smack board, and I know the other moderators have done so in the past as well. Sometimes, though, the post has so little to do with anything and so little content that it is just easier to delete it.
The last thing that I personally want to do on this board is to spend a lot of time moving stuff around and deleting stupid posts, and I don't want to censor anything that even one person (outside of the author/paster) thinks has some real value to the board.
That being said, does anyone have any complaints about me deleting some of BearBAC's posts that he throws up that I personally feel are not appropriate for the Bobcat Athletics Board (due mostly to being smack, and poor quality smack at that)? Does anyone think this is overstepping my bounds, and would you prefer that I take a different approach?
I will note that I don't touch the posts on the smack board or any other board outside of the Bobcat Athletics board, except to sometimes move a thread to a more appropriate board or to clarify a thread subject line.
I want to make sure that anything I do is for the good of this board and its (sincere) users.
