<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 164211, member: 6370&quot;]doesnt it take more effort to delete them than to just ignore them and let them sink to the bottom? Then those people who wish to read what they have to say can and those who dont care can ignore it? Or is it that the true drama queens could not let it go without comment and it would then disrupt the forums. I would think any forum is better when there isnt a heavy handed moderator making a choice as to what we should and shouldnt be reading (save of course obvious trolling and obscene or extreme off topic posts). This thread is a great example, he seems to care about what we want and thats good. Nobody wants someone pre-reading and deciding what they should and shouldnt be allowed to read...Nazi admins are a good way of ruining a discussion and free flow of opinions and ideas...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If a person is leaving this forum because they have a specific problem then maybe it would be good to hear it and let us decide on our own if the opinions expressed are valid or not? Maybe there is a real problem that could be address that might cause others to want to leave as well and might harm the success of the forum...I have been a forum ***** for long enough to know that indeed there can be those who can be a real problem and can damage the reputation of a forum and make people not want to use it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have run forums in the past and I would allow such threads because some of them have made valid points (and I disdain heavy handed deletion of threads), case in point: I had a person who announced he was leaving my forum because an admin I appointed was being an ass and making the forum unattractive to people and thus harming the popularity of the forum. As I was no longer terribly active on the forum I was unaware what this person was doing and to the relief of many I removed the admin and all was good.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>whether one would like to admit it or not, there can be times when these people might have valid points and they might just not have gone about making these problems clear...in this case, because the offender was an admin and it was not terribly obvious how to get in touch with me they became frustrated and decided to leave with one last attempt at announcing the problem and I happened to see this post before the offensive admin could remove it. OThers had left without comment because of this person and if they had instead made a stink about it I might have been able to deal with the problem before half the regulars moved on. Everyone with a problem is not a drama queen. Just my 2 centimes, probably not worth one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
