Last nite, I responded to a thread in the recruitment boards from Racheal Greene letting her know that ERF TEAM was interested. Upon checking to see if she responded back, I noticed my reply was gone (deleted)....
As this is the 3rd time this has happened to me, I've alerted Ben. If and when he finds out who has done this, I will ask that they lose their status as board moderator.
If anyone else has noticed this and didn't think much of it (as I did the 1st two times), please PM Ben as well. The last thing we need is someone trying to block anyone's efforts at building a better team. I'm not going to go into who I think it may be, but I am asking everyone to be watchful, because this may have happened to you as well.

Chronestrian, I totally agree that you have raised a valid point in pointing out a potential problem in the game. In your position I would have done the same. I think that what people are suggesting you should apologize for is that by saying stuff like:

"As this is the 3rd time this has happened to me, I've alerted Ben. If and when he finds out who has done this, I will ask that they lose their status as board moderator."

...and then upon learning that mods really can't do that without a record being generated...

the polite thing to do would be to address the fact that you have implied someone is abusing their position, instead of telling everyone else to relax and defending your right to do so.

'Kay I'm done...pass the gravy. I got diapers to fill. Ummm LED, I stitched up a special one for you and Blue...it's built for two. Just don't dribble on my frickin' tutu. I want to be buried in that.

I should log in more often.Turns out one of my own comments even sparks a discussion. I think we all need to take a deep breath here.

But there could be many reasons why posts could disappear.

One of which a technically inclined mod , would have done so without the this has been deleted by a mod line inserted. And aside from technical this mod would aside from hiring, also want to publically tamper with the boards in view of everybody.

Or a technical problem of some sort on Ben's side.

And everything in between.

Unfortunately, Chron thought of a more devious plan of a certain moderator. (I have no idea who he had in mind.) This is unfortunate. I am not sure what previous run ins Chron has had with moderators on or off the boards, to assume one of us would do something like that.

When I posted my post about the apology, which was a one liner, tongue and cheek in all honesty. I had no idea it would spark this type of reaction. First of all, Chron and I have always been friendly. Second of all, I assumed Chron simply forgot to mention an apology or if not an apology at say something about the raised suspicion to one of the mods and without mentioning specifics raising suspicion to all of the mods.

I sincerely would like to apologize to chron. Because a one liner like the one I gave, was certainly not intended to hurt is feelings, or cause him to leave Sleuth. I didn't think the one liner through, or the reaction it would cause. Though it was a not so subtle hint that I felt he should at least say something about raising suspicions to all of the mods. I obviously don't know the whole story about why he reached his conclusions though. And not knowing this, should have been my cue to keep my yap shut.

Now pls let this thread die down. Chron and I have been PMing, and are doing fine.
