of time, I messaged people before hiding their posts.

The result? Around three times more abuse. And not reportable abuse, but enough abuse to make me feel annoyed. So was there really a point?

I started doing it because Blue Automatic (Red revolver) PM'd me after I hid one of her replies to what even she termed as a 'spam' topic, saying SL's were too trigger happy with the hide button. I explained it through to her, was clear, and polite. Now missy has a chip on her shoulder. But that isn't the point.

Every time I suggest someone amend a post, I would, more or less without fail, get told to stfu, or words to that effect. So no more!

Do you PM people before post hidings?

Generally, no. Occasionally I will if I think the post is borderline, or if there is just one problem with it and the rest is fine. I'd rather give the person a chance to edit first. But if it's just a non-contribution, or something, I usually just hide it.

You're blue, so you have the advantage of that power. I'm just seen as a jumped up busy body.

I never PM people... I do when I move topics though.

I tend to only remove the posts that obviously need deleting though.

If you think it needs to be hidden then do so, they broke a rule.

If you are unsure leave it or report it for us to take care of.

If they are confused about your post deletion they will message back.

No, I know the procedure. Just some members choose to extend the courtesy of messaging the members, to give them the opportunity to edit.

Never did. I always reply if someone asks for clarification or whatever, but if it's borderline or needs editing, I generally just reported it rather than doing it myself. Now, of course, I just deal with it.

Ahaha. It depends. Generally, for no-contrib, Nah.
If it is borderline, like Shayla said, I'll give them a chance to edit it. It sucks to get something removed for "Reply to Removed"
Just edit it so you can still contribute.

Otherwise, for abusive, no-contrib, etc. I don't PM.

No i don't. I'm with Sam on this one, if they have any kind of problem with the move, they will message back.

I don't think we can pick and choose what rues we wish to enforce, it's either all of them or none of them.

Aw, I get messages of love from Vicky when I remove a post or move a topic. I get it from a few spammers actually. I rarely have someone have a go at me.

But I remove anything I think that needs removed. I might leave it a short while if the topic is still in fresh topics. And anything that quotes it, I remove the quote if it's still contributory. Because I can do that.
