Since back when I was a lurker, I've seen references to missing or deleting posts. Now that it happened in a thread I started, it's really noticeable. I didn't see any indication of why, and the post seemed innocuous enough. Just wondering - an indication why something was censored might help the rest of us stay on the good side of the forum gods. I'm fully familiar with forum moderation, I know that some level of editing is necessary, but usually I've seen a reason as long as it wasn't breaking any roles or constituting harassment. Thanks fiat500 either way
If a post is moderated or deleted, indicate why so we can avoid a repeat.

Just want to mention just in my opinion whatever that's worth. I think all of our vendors have really stepped up their games and they have really all answered alot of my dumb question as I am not very knowledgeable about alot of stuff. So I greatly appreciate all of our vendors IMO whatever that's worth!!!!! Gulia Hunt Begins !!!!

This is serious stuff and is no joke. I've had my property repeatedly stolen at the FreakOut, and have had to deal with harassment and intimidation from this group. It's plain nuts and I'm not going to have anyone come here to intimidate and harass me or anyone else on this site. Their post will get deleted and their account investigated and documented.
As far as Madness goes, you are again wrong as more crazy posts have been removed from Road Race threads than any Madness threads for your information. If a posts gets removed it is because it is really at odds with the guidelines, or someone is plain being a jerk to another member. Tweak and I have been very understanding with people and we know that people have bad days and we give them the benefit of the doubt. However, we've also found that some people have dishonest motives and/or just can't control themselves and I'm not going to have the good people here have to deal with that.
I'm too busy to follow what each vendor sells and for how much. It's not my business. I care that they treat us well and they treat their competition respectfully and don't cause trouble here. This forum isn't a front to sell parts to people and I don't have the time or real desire to mod my car.
Now I would like to go back to enjoying my nite off with my family. Thanks.Enjoy the Forum? Tell a Friend and Please Whitelist us on your Ad Blocker. Thx!

I'm disabled/retired, and online quite a bit....simply because I enjoy reading. And now I read a lot of what's going on in the Fiat world and this forum, because I enjoy that, too.....not to mention, I'm also a proud 500L owner! I think in just my short time here, the admin and forum watchers do a great job. I will always be on the look out for stupidity on this forum, as well...unfortunately, there are clowns in every circus! Looking forward to learning more about Fiat, and also sharing what I learn! Just my two cents.....btw, I think the vendors are all a plus, for the forum!Joe's 2016 500 Lounge

Maybe I was a bit harsh.
Keep in mind that when posts disappear without reason, people DO notice and they come up with their own reasons when none are given. Those reasons may not always be accurate, but in lieu of official statement, that's what people are going to believe.2015 Rosso Abarth - MAD FIAT - 5 Speed - Phase 2

Thanks aelfwyne. You have a point. This is especially true when there is a false narrative being put forth elsewhere and being hammered into some people's heads. I like to avoid drama as I think it brings the tone of the conversation down so that goes to your point where when people hear only one side they can form an opinion that is not accurate.
When I do remove something I try to mention something when I can, but sometimes I don't want to sidetrack a thread or contribute to the drama.
I.e. "previous post by Member A was removed because it was attacking Member B in an inappropriate way"
It would go a long way in helping the community remove those automatic default thoughts. Just my two cents....sigpic

But on a serious note, even a vague single word reason is sometimes useful, like "deleted - troll" or if the rules are numbered "deleted - rule 2". Short and sweet.- Top

Legit people will generally get a message when possible if it's not obvious what the problem is. That's normal. I agonize over this stuff, and I don't like removing what someone took time to write. There is a lot of stuff written that I may not agree with, but it's a forum and that's part of the deal. I spent a lot of time on the guidelines and think they sum up what we're about.
However, that's not the problem at hand here. This is about the nut jobs out there. People that aren't legit know who they are, and aren't worth my or the forum's time and I'm not really interested in giving them any more attention with a courtesy message when they know what they did. These are people traced back to banned accounts and/or have nothing better to do than just disrupt / harass. Still, I'll look into something so people don't have to speculate. Probably makes sense.
