Zone1 Some friendly feedback for zinc

When deleting posts, you should tell the poster the specifics of why it was deleted so that the offender knows exactly what was wrong with it so that they might refrain from repeating their violation.

Also, when moving a thread to another forum, it would be considerate to tell the creator where they can find the thread.

Can you please tell me where I can find my thread that you moved?

One piece of advice, a good moderator engenders discussion and does not annihilate discussion.

Thanks for your consideration and for your service.

The "user content" in OPs that the existing rules require needs to be "stepped up".. "Get a load of this" -- is no longer sufficient topical content"... Must be 2 lines or more.. The more the better.. Must SUMMARIZE the topic to be discussed and why you think it NEEDS discussion..

That's a good rule.

That would apply to all mods. And not only for deletions, but for thread bans. I was going along on a thread, and all of a sudden when I tried to post, it auto-notified me that I was locked out. No warning. No explanation. Some mod just decided she didn’t like what I was saying, and…bam.

Right ... the moderators like issuing warnings and moving threads around ... if they told us why, we'd stop doing those things ... and what's the fun in that? ...

ETA & BTW - I came to this thread looking to discuss metallurgy ... talk about poor titles ...

Not really, it depends on the subject matter.

If something is really breaking (say during a disaster of some sort) a long-winded statement in the OP is usually just speculation.

As long as links are provided those following along can comment as the event unfolds.
