Mods tick me off

I just made a poll called "Hello" The mods thought it was spam and closed it, how the F*** Is a poll called Hello spam? What kind of reasoning was that, I wouldnt have minded so much if you just said; "I am bored and am hereby deleting this poll." But to call it spam is the most rediculous, ignorant stupid thing you could do.

Oh and deleting this thread or my nation have already have been thought up by me so doing so would just be childish, cliche if you will. And I am aware that you may say that this thread is childish so posting that would also be very childish, cliche if you will.

Wrong forum.

I oughtta know, I've been down this road before...

This'll probably get locked, too. But I'm sure you already know that, Stomach.

It was a harmless thread and people seemed to be responding. The mods overreacted. They often do IMO.

I agree completely.

I was typing a post that said your poll was stupid, but at least original and was giving it the

VITTOS ORDINATION SEAL OF APPROVAL

only to find it was gone.

This is "General", right?

Not "Religion, Politics, and I Hate ________"?

I think that your thread would have lasted a few months. Just people talking about nothing. Just talking. Not hating, not spewing venom. Apparently, that is not wanted.

Wow I'm surprised they haven't closed this thread yet though. :P

Usually complaining about the mods is a close thread & ban sentence. :D

Maybe they have decided that our complaints don't undermine their power to close threads and kick people off, and letting us blow off some steam keeps us from posting really offensive stuff.

Most of the time the mods are right on. But sometimes they go over-board.

Yesterday I was saying goodnight and thanking some people specifically in a small thread. Deleted! Why? In the name of spam! I still do not see how it is spam. I was saying goodnight and thanking my old NS friends for a good night. It had substance to it if you were to read it. But nope, still spam.

But in the case of the "virgin" threads last night, those were rightfully deleted. That did not anger me at all. We had our little "fun" and it was over. That is that. As long as we do not do it all the time (which I for one certainly do not, but I cannot speak for other NSers).
