My post was removed. I did not cuss, therefore I would like to know why it was removed. I hope it was not because it did not go along with this sites way of thinking!!!! if that is the case I will not be back. These boards are for everyone to express our feelings and not the sites. that being said what is the reason

...Did you check the probably appropriate forum for what you posted?

I presume you mean this one...

http://www.the-hogs.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=169480

But you know what... with that kind of attitude, I'd prefer it if you just left. We don't censor people AT ALL as long as they follow the rules of the board, and frankly any inference to the contrary is pretty insulting when you go out of your way to create a place that ENCOURAGES people to post whatever they would like. However, we will move posts when the person doesn't post them in the appropriate place.

Why i'm giving you an explanation i don't know... you don't deserve one, and you won't be missed should you choose another forum to call home.


Ba-bye.

Wasn't removed...I merged it with a current thread on the same topic. The same thread you would have put it in had you took the time to check. There is a option to veiw all post since your last visit, but that makes too much sense. It's better to just accuse the staff of censoring your post(probaly because you didn't believe what you posted).

As much as some need to be censored around here you weren't in that group. It takes a special type of post'r to get on that list. And this was even close if that's what you are shooting for. Next time to avoid any confussion I just Lock the thread. Then you will always be able to find your post They'll have a red X. This isn't the 1st time your post have had to be relocated, next time it still won't be deleted, but I'll PM you a not so freindly reminder about not starting new threads on a topic in a thread that is already posted.
I hope that covers what I did with your thread. Now on to this sites why of thinking.

First off how would you know what this site thinks. You thought we were a bunch of censors a minute ago although you've been a member for over a year (your post count ever decreased).

The owner of the sites determines what is allowed and what isn't. He has created forums to cover just about everything. So if you are looking for something and can't find it then you are looking in the wrong place. Or not looking at all...
A simple search of your own post would have avoided this whole thread. Then again, I think you just wanted to start another thread :lol:

Chill out and tell Rick we said What's up

First off Sorry. I mean that I,You guys have been cool to me and sometimes im a jerk. I did perform a search for my post and it still shows it not being here. I dont read every post there is too many and the one you put it in I did not associate the title to my post.

Yesterday, I posted a note that Rex Grossman was injured and probably out for the season. Since the Bears are the Skinz first opponent this year in the regular season, you would think this information has some relevance to the Hogs. Not the case. Message was deleted or moved. Go figure.

This one is being move also

I don't have time to say why but a quick glance over the rules would avoid this whole post

Posted: Sun Aug 14, 2005 12:35 pm comes up when I search comes up as a different title though because the other was here first. The topics are merged based on time of post so if they are merged they conversation may seem to wander after merging 2 or 3 threads. However if we didn't have four threads on Ramsey being outplayed by Brunell and six on how the 1st game went then we wouldn't need the merge option.
Two mins after you posted this there was a thread started. It was titled "Censoring", you think he bothered to click on this thread that clearly has the word censorship in it?

The title of thread that your post was moved to is more or less the root of the first sentence in your post. where else could you have looked first?

next time send a PM to a Mod or Admin if you have a question, don't create a thread, this thread has nothing to do with the Redskins.

thanks

ROTFALMAO ROTFALMAO

OK I shouldn't laugh, this is getting serious....

NOT


First learn to use the search button and you'll find the drivel that you are looking for.

Second learn where to place your post, so others don't have to do it for you. ( we don't mind - it helps the members that actually follow the rules)

Thrid explain your self reason for posting in a certain forum when you make the post. That why people will know what you are trying to get across.

Now lets see what got deleted...
A post about Rex Grossman getting hurt and we play them in week one

There is nothing wrong with this in Hog Wash, it's info we should discuss.

To tell the truth I saw it in HogWash...it was yesterday sometime after noon (when I got home from work) but post WASN'T redskin related, so it didn't belong in Hogwash.

I'm a member of a number of Redskins boards. Some I joined before finding THN some I've joined after being here. I've spent most of my time posting here because I've run across the type of BS on other sites (I'm a Homer so no redskin site will censors me or threaten to band me from there site because of something I post), But I read post like this and it told me something about those sights. You too have been here for over a year and have shocked me with this post.

If this is a new trend then Bring it. BH has the class act with this site. And won't let the Mods run roughshot, If so I'd act like one of those sites you are confusing use with and band you for simply call the mods censors.

Boss Hog is better than that. On a good day he'd simply say ...
you posted this in Hog Wash
elchalje wrote:Chicago QB Rex Grossman has a broken ankle and most likely out for the season.

A Mod (1niksder) read it and moved it to Around the League. (this is a forum for non-redskin related topics and since your topic did not pertain to the redskins that's where it should have been).
Om a slow day BH would have went on to say the post was merged to one that had been moved there by a mod (over 12 hours earlier...
tokyoskins wrote:heard report that he injured his ankle and had to be carted off the field. if he cant play, our chances of an opening day win just went up significantly! too bad dr. quinn, medicine woman, is no longer the backup qb for them...

this to was move because it had no relations to the Skins.

That's what BH might say.
What I want to say I can't in this forum, however Boss has provided us with a forum for such feelings

Just shut your mouth and stop complaining and causing problems. Obey the rules or leave. Its that simple.

So now you bring your son into it? Real classy. I think the board has done their fair share of well-wishing for your son. In fact if I pulled up some of the threads from the past about Rick that this comment would seem even more trivial and out of place.

Not to mention that with 2000 members, it gets pretty hard to remember who is who and what is what.

This whining is unbelievable, and frankly just a slap in the face to all of the moderators that work extremely hard to maintain order and make sure that people aren't censored. That does not however give people the right to post whatever they want, wherever they want. We have different forums for a reason... to maintain order. This is for EVERYBODY. This is so that people know where to find things and so that conversations go on in the appropriate place. It's a disservice to EVERY member to just let chaos prevail. We keep threads to their forum so that Redskin fans DON'T have to read about every other football story in the Hog Wash forum... the forum dedicated to Redskins chat... nothing else.

It never ceases to amaze me that people will bitch and complain about someone trying to make this forum a better place... and whether some of you realize it or not.... that's what the rules are for. It would be one hundred times easier to never move, delete or moderate threads... but that isn't what we want. We're just trying to do what we feel will facilitate better football dialogue for the WHOLE COMMUNITY.

Some of you whine about not wanting to search for a topic or take two minutes to look for an existing thread and frankly, I don't know what could be more selfish. Some of us here spend hours a day facilitating better conversation and honestly, each time you whine about not having the time to do this or that, you just come off as some of the most selfish posters on the board.

But we don't expect 100% co-operation and we don't expect 100% satisfaction, we know that making it better for MOST people is all that we can accomplish.

What we will not stand for is being accused of censorship in one of the least censored boards you will ever find. Sure we move things or expect the posts to be made in the appropriate forum, but that's the DIFFICULT way as far as the staff are concerned. There have been lots of threads dediated to slagging me personally... did they get censored? Never. Say what you want... but in the APPROPRIATE place.

When you're having a bad day, go out and kick your cat if that's what you're into, but don't take it out on the people who spend a large portion of their SPARE TIME to make THN what it is.

And if you don't like it... see if the grass is greener somewhere else. Nobody's feelings will be hurt.

You all have the right to say whatever you like. If you obey the rules, nobody will ever touch your post. if you post in the wrong place, you create work for someone else, but we'll gladly do that for the sake of the community. What more do you want, a pound of my flesh?

Nobody is telling you to leave... you are welcome to stay.

But don't whine just because you were too lazy to post something in the right place.

And if you want to accuse us of censorship, then you're spitting on everyone who MAKES SURE THAT YOU ARE NOT CENSORED by moving your post to the appropriate place instead of just dumping it.

Get it?

:roll:

whatever dude... now I'm retarded too? who brought Rick up? I read 1niksder's post... I don't see anything there... and I don't feel the need to further waste my time by continuing to dwell on the same topic... and I didn't need to insult you or the other board members to get my point across.

I didn't see 1niksder's comment about Rick... I thought you were being sarcastic and just bringing him into it... so I apologize... but that's all I apologize for.

And frankly, i don't know why I'm apologizing for that. I should just ignore you and this thread as it's drawing more of my attention than I have time to give.

You'll get no further commentary from me... you've said your piece and I've said mine.

I'm going to miss Biz, and hearing about Rick.
No elbow room for a guy we all know is under tremendous stress with a sick kid. Just went through that myself, but lost mine.
What a coldhearted thread.

Things should still be done with a level of decency. I haven't really followed this thread but he kinda went bezerk without knowing all the facts and forum rules. He kinda brought it on himself.


****WOW, sorry for the overlook! It was early you have to forgive me. Sorry about the news, Ill keep you in prayer.
