Grrrrrr, alrighty then......when responses are deleted during mod actions

[JustAnotherNut]

Of all the annoying changes & differences with the new system vs the old...…….this has to be the worst....


After taking the time, doing research and preparing a lengthy response with links and argument, when hitting submit I'm locked out of the thread because of mod action, is really irritating when the thread is locked & closed from further replies...…...but what's worse is when threads are merged, and my whole response is GONE and have to start over. I ain't playing that.....atleast in the old system, it would save my response and I could chose to either resubmit or delete as appropriate.

Airing complaints about Moderation actions in public is a self defeating action, take it to the PM system instead where it belongs.

That has nothing to do with the new "system." While you were composing a message, the mod probably closed the thread, that is all. Copy your work, then you can either past it wherever it was moved, or somewhere else appropriate. THat is all, no big deal. Shit happens.

The complaint isn't about Mod actions but to the unsubmitted post being deleted during those actions & no longer retained

It DOES have to do with this new system/site change or whatever the hell happened awhile back...….and of course the mod closed the thread in order to do their action which this time was to merge threads, when it's open for replies again, whatever I had composed was lost and not retained like it was before the new site changes (not thread changes)


I'm not copying every friggin post 'just in case' it's caught in moderation

Compose your response in a blank Word document, then copy and paste.

If the thread has been merged, just copy and paste again.

This isn’t the science of rockets.

NO......I said the new system with the site changes now deletes prepared but unsubmitted posts, whereas the old system retained them.


When you are typing up a response, then hit submit, but are locked out for mod action......when they unlock it but your post is deleted and no longer retained like it had been before the site changes.

Make sense?????

Gee you already know the answer, why continue to complain about it?

I am glad it no longer retains unsubmitted posts, because I can start new in the same thread without the unsubmitted stuff I decided to drop still sitting in the box.

I tried different ways to deleted it without submitting, it comes back like magic, I even left the thread then come back, it was still there, even left the forum to someplace else, come back it was still there.

I ended up erasing it, then start a new comment in place, but even then when posting the new comment, previous quoted posts were still there, making it a mess.

Ohhhh I hated that!

Never experienced that anywhere else, and I have been a member of 50 forums since 1998.

No. You're doing something wrong. When you go to send the message, it'll tell you that you don't have useer priveleges or something like that any more, in which case you just copy it before closing and post it wherever the thread was moved. Easy as pie.

I do agree about that part of the problem with the old system...……..but if you've spent a good deal of time & effort into a post, then it gets deleted...….is a bigger PITA. Atleast before you just had to highlight it & hit delete (or was it backspace?)
