i was wondering the same thing

denniswrenn · Jul 25th, 2001, 09:43 AM

And all of his chit chat posts seemed to have disapeared.......

They're here one day, and they're gone later that day

**NotLKH** · Jul 25th, 2001, 05:33 PM

His post count is down to 5.
How many did he have?

It seems unlikely He'd wander to each of his posts and delete
them 1 by 1.

Anybody tried to e-mail him and ask?

Was this Moderately related to current events?

Matthew Gates · Jul 25th, 2001, 06:02 PM

He had over 1000.

**RyeBread** · Jul 25th, 2001, 06:48 PM

*** IS GOING ON!?!?!?!?!

Can I like, get them back?

I think someone got my password or something, are all my posts really gone?

**sail3005** · Jul 25th, 2001, 06:51 PM

BTW, Lets start a Deletion Race! Whoever deletes the Most, WINS!

**Skitchen8** · Jul 26th, 2001, 09:32 AM

yes, that was to keep the regular forums (not chit-chat) under control.

**RyeBread** · Jul 26th, 2001, 11:01 AM

OK I BOUGHT A AK-47 AND I'M HEADED TO THE POST OFFICE, I KNOW THEY HAVE MY POSTS AND I WANT THEM BACK.

THIS IS NOT FUNNY ANYMORE. I AM NOT NEW. I HADE OVER 1,000 REALLY GOOD POSTS. I AM GOING POSTAL NOW.

**NotLKH** · Jul 26th, 2001, 11:08 AM

RyeBread,

Just a thought.

If you want, I'm sure many of us are willing to log in as you and help build your post count up again.

Of course, afterwards you'd propably want to change your password.

-Lou

**NotLKH** · Jul 26th, 2001, 11:55 AM

How about this:

Create a RyeBread Post Race, and RyeBread chooses 30 or 40
Trusted Users loose with his password, and their mission,
to post as many posts as possible in that thread per day.

hmm, lets see...
40 RyeBreads * 40 posts per day * 40 Days = 64,000 Post Count!

You'ld be KING OF THE FORUM!

-Lou

**RyeBread** · Jul 26th, 2001, 12:08 PM

Thanks for the thought, but I would want the posts to be mine. It's just that I made the posts, where the Hell are they?

Maybe I should retire the RyeBread handle and start over. This whole thing is pissing me off now.

I think an evil moderator went insane, yeah that's it! What's up with all this moderating, hmm?

Who will be next to lose all their posts?!

**barrk** · Jul 26th, 2001, 12:16 PM

I could be something much less sinister....why don't you ask the moderators if they can look into it for you?

**NotLKH** · Jul 26th, 2001, 12:18 PM

RyeBread,
Post another one, please.
Either I misread your postcount two posts ago {I thought 2 posts ago you were 13, and now you're still 13}, or you're PostCounter is now stuck on 13.

-Lou

**RyeBread** · Jul 26th, 2001, 12:34 PM

Chit Chat posts don't count, right?

Once I find something to reply to in General, I will.

I don't think it's the count that's broken. I searched or my posts - they are not showing up!

**NotLKH** · Jul 26th, 2001, 12:39 PM

Thats right. I forgot about that about chit-chat.

And, I know your posts are gone, too.
I did a search yesterday, found only 4 threads with your UName.
And saw that you were down to 5.

Its just so strange that this happened!

-Lou

**filburt1** · Jul 26th, 2001, 12:46 PM

His post counter is working, it went from 13 to 14.

**Skitchen8** · Jul 26th, 2001, 12:48 PM

this is fecked up someone needs to talk to the mods or somethin... they are stealing our chit-chat away from us now *****ing up our post counts

**barrk** · Jul 26th, 2001, 12:51 PM

Relax, Eric. We don't know that anyone is "doing" this to us! They (the moderators) have recieved the message and have done nothing "evil" since the first day this started.

I do think its a good idea for RyeBread to contact the mods regarding his post count but lets not get paranoid. Nobody is out to get us.............yet.

**Skitchen8** · Jul 26th, 2001, 12:53 PM

oh... thats what you think, so they brainwashed you too *runs away screaming, im thinking a death in the woods scene would fit

I'd be too considering my post count would be negative

seriously.. I lost about 5 posts myself...

**barrk** · Jul 26th, 2001, 01:50 PM

Just a suggestion....
When you notice things like this happening, you might want to ask the moderators if they could look into it for you. This gives them a chance to either let you know why they did it if they did or find the post and fix it for you. If we jump to the conclusion that everything that happens in here is due to some darker motive we will never get Chit-Chat back to the happy place it used to be.

Give the mods a chance to do their job.....i.e. look into mysteries like this....instead of assuming that they are the cause. Let them help you......until they start arbitrarily locking post or censoring people....we should give them a chance. The moderator who started all this hoopla has been made aware of how we feel and given a reply as to why he did what he did. Don't you think we can forgive his actions and move on from here?

If you treat them with respect they will do the same to you...if you treat them like the enemy that's just who they'll become!

I don't think Chit-Chat needs to be censored but the site does need to be moderated for the obvious reasons....posts dissapearing, people promoting their own businesses in here, posting problems, etc. Plus, I would like some recourse when someone like nukem comes in and starts to wreak havoc.

Can't we all just be vigilant against censorship without becoming paranoid about it?

Just my two cents worth!

**shragel** · Jul 26th, 2001, 10:54 PM

I realy dont understand why this happened. they were very good posts.
really good.

Sorry to you RyeBread.

**Bjwbell** · Jul 26th, 2001, 11:37 PM

Hmm i seem to remember some other people losing posts a while back; might be a problem with the software.

That was when John changed a database and he later corrected the post counts.
