Hi Nipper.

Thanks for replying. Why do other, unknown mods, delete every post when it relates to DF having a criminal conviction for domestic violence? It is a matter of fact....and also a relevent point when others question the character of potential new managers. Surely there has to be consistency?

Normally when I have a post deleted, I just accept it as I know I have overstepped some sort of mark. However a picture of a book, that is or has been available in every bookshop and supermarket, seems a bit OTT. I don't expect a reprieve but it's been over ten years now.

Okay then, I'm going to ask the question that a few others are asking? Why don't people get notified when a post is deleted? I know it's in the rules but would I'd appreciate is knowing on what basis mods choose to delete posts? If I knew why my posts disappeared I could save 2 people a job

1. Me to not bother posting something
2. The mods to delete it

I may be over sensitive here but it does appear that some posts I make get deleted but other similar ones by others don't. I'm not looking to be argumentative or awkward just understand what goes and what doesn't???

If it is based on relevance to a thread I'd probably question whether anything I post is relevant at any time.... That may be the easy option

See forum rules 2, 3 and 4. Spamming and personal attacks will be deleted.
