Deleted posts

Not sure if the software would support it, but it would be nice if one's deleted posts could be reviewed by the offending poster.

I know as a mod that deleted posts can be viewed, and as a poster, you get an alert for each deleted post with a link to the thread, but it would be nice to go back and review the deleted post to reflect upon it and then learn to do better. Obviously do not need to know which mod deleted the post, just would like to stay on the up and up.

Thank you, and waiting for the flames . . . . .

Reflect on it? I think most people realize. They just don't care. Lol.

Nothing leaves the internet. You could still find it.

And I certainly can see that from some of the content. But I do care, believe it or not, and would like to then learn how not to have my post(s) be deleted.

Maybe so, but this old man hasn't yet figured out where to find all those snapshots . . . .

The best way is to PM the mod that did the deed...

As I said:

Obviously do not need to know which mod deleted the post, <snip>

That would be counter productive to my request. Then it would bring mod actions and individual mods under unneeded and unwanted scrutiny. And do not think that is part of the 'alert' I receive anyways.

If you take the internet seriously enough, mods will be powerless to remove your posts. Clearly Teddy, you need to take it far more seriously than you do now. 100 times or so more seriously.

Ive just had 2 posts deleted for "not sticking to the topic".
Baffled if I am honest.

Your post in the thread Do you think that if the blockade to Gaza was lifted today that the attacks against Israel would cea was deleted. Reason: every post must address the SPECIFIC topic in this forum..

I would really like to know what I said that was off topic.

Amateurs, they delete entire threads when I get involved.

I have no idea why anyone in their right minds could find to complain about the moderators and administrators here on USMB. You would have to post some seriously stupid stuff to have them delete it.

As for the original question - I frequent a forum that has software that allows moderators to put deletion of a post up to forum members. They automatically select six posters and indicate the post complained about. It gives the choice to Leave It or Delete It and the voter gets to write an explanation of their reasoning.

I'm not suggesting it for here, just indicating that such software exists.

I agree with you. I've had posts deleted and I didn't have clue as to what they were talking about.
