Help Sad PS: I posted this question here http://www.imnotokay.net/board/topic/post/11676949/#11676949 I'm sorry, I didn't know about this topic. Erase that one too. :$ |
| Search and Destroy Moderator  Age: - Gender: Female Posts: 34535 | BetSiTa:We do not delete posts or threads on request, I will however edit out the persons name if you PM me the link to the post and the name to be removed from the post Thanks |
| Helmee Bluth In The Murder Scene  Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 20963 | Search and Destroy:Really? I've seen it happen in the past. If this is a policy to not delete posts of a user who asks you to, why? |
| Jenny. Moderator  Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 19720 | Have you? It's been a general rule among us not to do so, so I don't know where you've been seeing that. Perhaps on another forum? An exception to the rule is when there are personal details, such as names and phone numbers, etc. |
| Tallulah Admin  Age: - Gender: Female Posts: 16777215 | The reason we don't delete posts is for a number of reasons....these are just a few. 1) If you remove individual posts from a thread often the threads then don't make sense. 2) If we deleted every post that people wanted removed the staff would spend all their time deleting posts, there are other things that we have to do on the site. 3) Many posts that people want removing are because they have changed their minds about something they have said, maybe they are embarrassed about liking a band in the past or something similar. We do no delete these threads/posts mainly because the information is already out there. We havent deleted posts since I've been on the staff and Dujo was the one who advised me not to delete users posts. As Jenny said about, the only exception to the rule is if a users personal safety has been compromised by the posting of personal details. |
| Helmee Bluth In The Murder Scene Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 20963 | Huh! You learn something new every day. I saw an exchange between a girl who used to post poems on here (I can't remember the username, it was something with "xXx",) and Jules the mod. The girl asked why Jules deleted all her posts (poems included), and Jules said the girl asked her to. I believe those posts were somewhere in the Suggestions and Feedback section. It makes sense that you don't. Thanks for answering. |
| Tallulah Admin Age: - Gender: Female Posts: 16777215 | Some times we do make exceptions with poetry threads, mainly because the person who has posted the poetry is the "owner" of that work. I guess that must have been the case. |
| thank fsm. In The Murder Scene  Age: 36 Gender: Female Posts: 20564 | Yes, sometimes there are legal reasons; for example I have had a user ask me a few times to remove specific poetry because it was being published and therefore could not be anywhere else on the web. |
| Lovesick Melody. Bulletproof Heart  Age: 83 Gender: Female Posts: 25760 | I've seen that the Phobias thread in the discussion board has been locked as it isn't informative for a discussion. I do have points against the locking of the board (such as discussing why certain phobias exist) but I agree that a phenomenal amount of people ignored several warnings not to post their personal phobias. However it can be argued that people are doing it in the Labels thread too. Many people are posting that "I'm called ________ all the time!" or "So many people call me ________ and they need to stop!" I'm just curious as to why one thread was locked, while the other wasn't? |
| Search and Destroy Moderator Age: - Gender: Female Posts: 34535 | It would seem that because they failed to actually discuss phobias, even after being warned a few times it was locked. I have looked at the Labels thread and have posted a reminder in there. |
| thank fsm. In The Murder Scene Age: 36 Gender: Female Posts: 20564 | Yes, thank you for pointing it out. it's a process. ^^; |
| MyMetalProphetMuse Motor Baby  Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 834 | Okay this is strange...I make my text colored. In the preview it shows up colored, but when it gets posted the colored text doesn't show...it only shows up white! Test Text To prove that there is code in the example above: [ color=Red ]Test Text[ /color ] |
| Jenny. Moderator Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 19720 | Coloured font in text had been disabled quite some time ago, because some people were using colours that were impossible to see. I don't know if we'll be getting it back. |
| MyMetalProphetMuse Motor Baby Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 834 | haymitch abernathy.: Aww...why do people have to go and abuse the privilege of using colors in text (in posts) by using colors that are hard to see. If it that ability ever comes back only allow colors like Dark Blue, Crimson, Red, Blue, White, and other colors that are easy to see! Oh how ironic, my signature had a color that was almost impossible to see...Dark Red! |
| fabulous killjoy. Moderator  Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 46256 | Oh_My_Bloody_Romance:signatures aren't much of an issue, so don't worry about those... |
| MyMetalProphetMuse Motor Baby Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 834 | lycia.: ooookay, but it really was difficult to read before I changed it to crimson. Imagine this: If you were looking at an entertaining sig, but part of that sig was written in a color that blended in with the board background (like the text was dark red and we all know that depending on the template...the background of the board could be black). |
| Search and Destroy Moderator Age: - Gender: Female Posts: 34535 | Oh_My_Bloody_Romance:It's all about your own personal choice, if you find your own sig hard to read in a certain colour, change it! Don't forget that there are different templates on INO, so you might be using the default template which you find it hard to read your sig on but others will be using another template like the one with the white background for example which would be easy to read a dark red sig on. You choose your sig colour, and which template you want to use, it's a personal choice. If you are reading a sig that blends into the background colour, just highlight it if you want to know what it says. I know I put no thought into if my sig will show up on another template, so long as I like how it shows up on the one I use I'm not madly fussed how other people see it, but that might just be me. |
| fabulous killjoy. Moderator Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 46256 | Oh_My_Bloody_Romance:I'd just highlight it *shrug*. It seriously doesn't matter, nobody really cares to make their signature compatible with other templates. If people care enough they'll highlight them. |
| MyMetalProphetMuse Motor Baby Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 834 | Now I really have a question...How do I change that icon by my username? |
| Jenny. Moderator Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 19720 | It's the "my moods" bit. If you have IE you won't be able to see them. |
