Tamara Artis Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 When for any reason a whole thread needs to be deleted, do any of the forum members or people who posted get to know the reasons why that happened? Just so, I could avoid not to do the same thing in the future lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dillon Levenque Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I've never had a thread deleted but I've had a couple of posts removed and got a PM explaining why. I would be surprised if the OP's of the threads removed today got a notification. That seems to be a clear case of LL not wanting the forum world to know they had screwed up in a rather spectacular way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenMichelle Lane Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Whole Threads have been deleted many times. Most recently was the silly PonyBoy thread with a troll asking for a protest to have him unbanned from one of the in-world Pony Play Areas, It had 4+ pages of responses as I recall before it disappeared into the ether.

Dillon Levenque Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I saw that one too, Vania. I sincerely hope the author didn't get a caution or anything. If she was notified of a reason why the original thread was taken down (which I very much doubt) then I guess posting again could be considered inflammatory, but her second thread's OP was very mildly worded. I think Madelaine's post is an accurate description of what happened. And that's really too bad. I've been involved in service/support in one way or another for about half of my working life. I've always found that admitting errors is a much better response than covering them up or denying them. I worked for a place that sold/repaired computers to/for retail customers, back before that wasn't unusual. I'd just started. I was the Service Manager, because I'd a history of doing that although not in the computer business. A customer whose repair the service department had totally fouled up called asking for explanations. After getting the history from my new co-workers I realized the whole problem was our fault. I took the call and he said, "What the Hell happened here?". I said, "We screwed up." His next comment was several decibels lower and just asked if we could fix it (which we could). You can't keep screwing up over and over (and I admit that might be the issue discussed here) but I learned from that something I really already knew: just accept the blame, fix it if you can, and apologize. For most people, that's an acceptable solution. Edited because I spelled Maddy's name wrong :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamela Galli Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Do we have a volunteer to start a new thread to ask about this one when it gets pulled? :smileytongue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillon Levenque Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I nominate Qwal. He's been staying out of trouble lately, and that's just not like him. On a more serious note: how hard would it have been? The problem was apparently fixed, since before the first thread went down I saw a couple of people saying their dances had been restored. Why not just come out and say so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamara Artis Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 Exactly. I had no idea when I got that dance and removing a thread where people explain what happened left me worried, is my account going to get in trouble? I never created anything, besides having multiple copies of akeyo hud with tons of different anims. And there was not a single word in that mail, advising what to do in case I want to complain to it. Also I didn't get another mail, which some people mention, saying it was a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were no mistakes, nothing happened and I didn't get two PM's from moderators, nothing happened, move along, nothing to see. *mumbles as the gag is applied and the van arrives* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamara Artis Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 Yes I guess the system was experiencing unexpected issues that were unfortunatelly discovered after the mails got sent. And I got only one pm from moderator. Ok move along have a great day everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie Serendipity Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Since apparently nothing at all happened it would be redundant to make any sort of critical comment disparaging the incompetence of the personnel involved in initiating a self-humiliating error in the first place, nor the hypocritical attitude of those charged with attempting a whitewash cover-up, would there?

Why not just come out and say so? When the NSA talks to you, you can not deny or affirm anything. Oh, and I have not got my copy back. I got mine at (damn, i don't know if I am allowed to say, I can neither affirm or deny that I was at Akeyo) during a hunt. I do still have the rest of the items I got there on the hunt.
