Title: Mods -- why so much censorship ??
Post by: illuminati on October 11, 2017, 11:37:37 PM
Why are posts / threads  being deleted ??
It appears to be happening more frequently

Anyone else notice & have posts / threads removed without notice

Is Getbig becoming PC...  ::)

All my posts are awesome so....no.  I have not noticed an excessive amount of censorship.   ;D

One thread I was posting in got combined with another but that's about it.

I've noticed the thread mergers

Had one thread deleted - without notice
And another thread I'd been in deleted - again no notice
All in last 2/3 days

If they going to do such things - Perhaps they should have a mods thread sticky
Where they can post up What & Why posts & threads are deleted or merged.
Ron..??

You know, I say a lot of crazy shit on Getbig and up to this point I haven't noticed any oppressive censorship.  We get away with a lot here.

I hope it stays that way.  It's all for the lolz.

are they being deleted or are they being moved?

because I've had tons of threads disappear, only to be moved to ghost town sections where all threads go to die

Some new topics have been moved in older topics with the same subject. See topic : Arnold Schwarzenegger - How tall is he really? .. from page 4

The general masses get a bit uppity from time to time.

It will calm on its own.

If not, I will have one of my gimmicks start another "what do women want" thread and that will keep them occupied.

At this point, taboo subjects are the only reason to come here. Pro bodybuilding is essentially dead. Sets and reps have been talked to death many years ago. A while back I started a few threads on nutrition only to have them die on the vine.

What else is there?

You can never make everyone happy. Absolutely no moderation is terrible, while constantly moving, combining, and deleting threads is also annoying.

I will say one thing: This is the most action that I have seen "admin wise" in years.

Is Ron trying to clean things up to entice more pros and fitness celebs to post?

I have noticed that the traffic has been dropping recently. We have been struggling to break 1,000 unique visitors for a few days now.

Is it a result of overmoderation?

Poor Mr. Basile.

A walk on Manley Beach would do him well.

My poll would have answered why Mr. Basile is so resentful. Unfortunately, we will never know the answer.

No more sand & surf 4 him, now he 'climb' Aussie hills (tallest AU mountain is wheel chair accessable  :D) & watches aeroplanes

Thank you for asking.

I posted a thread asking which getbig member an article by Avesher was about

Also a thread i posted in was removed - couple of black ladys fighting

I get there has to be some Rules ( did i break any? )

Why when threads are deleted or moved can we not be notified
Like I suggested have a sticky for you mods just post in that tells us
what has been deleted or merged & why.

Hit home when mine went missing.
The fact they are being deleted without the courtesy of notification isn't good & is heavy handed

Best i ever got was some vague admittance through non-staff regulars who routinely act like they are part of the "boys club."

Singular posts retain the thread title even if they are merged, so there is some sort of "paper trail."

It just seems pointless to merge new topics with 10+ y/o threads... Many times it consigns the newer posts to oblivion.

Ah..... I usually get this once a year...

OK -

1) I am merging threads that are related.

2) If they are so unrelated to anything in our industry, I tend to move them to General or the Politics boards

3) I tolerate a lot, but some stupid attacks, or some racist crap has to go - period. Yes, I am the least PC guy
       but sometimes, crap is crap

4) If it is a problem or an issue, email me or PM me - I am good with that

Getbig is often somewhat self-policing/enforcing with such matters.  Mods & Ron can't be expected to see & intervene in every little spat and then get bitched at when we do.  Sometimes it's just too much of a PITA to sift through the garbage trying to salvage the original intent at which time the delete or merge buttons are the quickest solutions.  Actually, teh BAN button is pretty darn convenient too.   ;)

Thanks Ron for entering the thread & giving some answers.

Also Big Thanks to the 2 other mods that took the time to PM me
and offer answers - Both saying virtually the same things.

Most of what is in the G&O is not Bodybuilding related

What is crap & isn't crap is a matter of opinion & opinions vary
Though saying that on this forum you have the right to remove
what you dont like. Understandably so.

As for being PC yes I'm a Dinosaur & proud of it, Its a Load of nonsense
Is a big rough tough life out there - some just need to deal with it & get on.
