I have sent another PM to carolyngoodman.

Would simply like to know WHY my posts continue to get deleted even after what she wrote and reinstated posts from other threads per her conversation earlier in this thread and if possible, WHO is behind this.

I really wish that SPAM button would disappear for everyone (excluding a few trusted members maybe..) and board moderators would just be appointed to take care of things.

This place is really turning on me.

Keep it in perspective. It's probably just one person.

I didn't mean it in a way that "the people as a whole" were turning on me.

I meant the shenanigans if even by one user and what they are doing to me via this board is/are what's turning on me.

I'm actually a little jealous that no one seems to care enough about my posts to delete them.

Turn it around and use it to your advantage.

Like they say, "If life gives you lemons, make Lemon Drop out of it."
1/2 oz vodka
1/2 oz lemon juice
1 sugar cube
Crushed ice
Shake well

Mix me up a couple of those. I could use it right now. I'll even add some clonazepam to it...

I believe craigslist requires 5 different flags before a post is removed. That would allow people to get rid of real spam, but prevent people from deleting something just because they disagree or dislike somebody.
How about 5 clicks to get rid of the offending posters?

Of course, given the 80-20 Rule, about the only person left after about a week would be Dori.
Poor Dave, Don't be so sure, I think you're being taken in by my "sweet Granny smile"!

Ok, some of my images have been restored. 1 has not. Apparently I stepped over the line with the one of the guy out in a field peeing in the wind even though his p3nis wasn't visible or anything, some were offended.

So I will have to be careful what I post. Hopefully I have enough brain cells left to make that distinction.

Ah. My post complaining about not being deleted has finally been deleted.

I wonder if who did that? If so, thanks, who. You didn't need your spam button anymore anyway.

It's happened, from time to time, to a lot of us. If you participate on this board and in any way express an opinion (about anything really) or just show your personality, you may end up being the victim of one of these people.

And heaven help you if you decide to take a stand against an idiot.

Carolyn will straighten it all out.

This, too, shall pass.

Don't let it get to you.

I really don't see how that can be perceived as over the line. I have a little wooden garden ornament in one of my flower beds of a little boy peeing on my petunias (no penis is shown).......no one has ever thought that was not funny or cute. I see those little ornaments in lots of gardens....someone needs to take the blinders off and take things for what they are.
RIDICULES!!!!

I see I still have mine.
I pretty much go after the nonsense, and OT sales garbage;
though I get SO tempted with the political diatribe.
(I'm sorry you feel the way you do, but this is simply NOT the place!--people NEED this forum)
Obscenity--well, the really naughty will go away (I might see it, but I let it be),
while the silly stays--it works for me.

Just me misbehaving above with the jnk/who "discussion"/deletion.

As Madalot says, it has happened to most of us at one time or another. If you can ride it out, it eventually stops.

Sorry it is happening to you, Lazer, but I'm sure it will get fixed.
