<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 163953, member: 6370&quot;]<span style="color: black">I say leave it, I dont care for drama but I am more against moderators deleting posts that arent obscene. I am for a free flow of ideas and so far since I have been here I have seen nothing that is regularly posted here that I would label as something that would make me feel I need to leave...can I ask for just a run down of reasons why people felt the need to leave? This forum is so very tame compared to some I have seen I cant imagine what might have made people leave save that they disagree with some of the more pompous members here. I think ANYONE who cant keep a civil tone should be warned and banned...I can not imagine what COIN or NUMMUS related topics that would require a person to be insulting to ANYONE. If you are going to be insulting...I think its best to remove the person.</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: black">The only time I see a need for something to be moderated is if people are spread non-coin related personal agendas...if people are preaching at people about things like religion, politics, lifestyles, etc...</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: black">Even with disagreements having to do with coins (like cleaning threads) I can see a persons point and not go running away because someone wont agree with me or because there are differences...I have noticed some people here are pompous and seem to think they are the last word on all things related to numismatics and lack the ability to express themselves in a very civil manner but I will ignore those things and continue to discuss a topic...I will annoy them because for every time they insist a personal opinion is the only way...I will simply restate that it isnt...we will go round and round until we both give up <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: black">So no...I wouldnt delete a goodbye thread unless it is insulting, obscene, etc...Let them have their last say and if people dont like it they dont have to read it and it will sink rather quickly, if they bring up valid points, maybe they can be addressed...I havent seen one so I dont know what they are like though I have seen them on other forums and usually they are irrational, showing intolence and an insistance that people do things their way, and a bit amusing.</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I think no thread but obcene and extreme off topic posts should be deleted including the one about Aidenwork <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Edit: Also I think moderators should be helpfull and friendly, there is no reason for them not to join in and give opinions but they should not be abrasive, rude or insulting. They should be like anyone else and if they cannot keep a civil tone then they probably shouldnt be representing this forum. They should be above petty crap and know how to communicate in a non-abrassive way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
