I enjoy this board and it is very helpful and informative but,I have noticed quiet a bit that if a person STATES their opinion and it ruffles feathers of the ones in charge or contradicts theirs it gets deleted due to the facts they some look silly in what they post,it is like if they opinionated and then it is shown they are wrong instead of admitting it they have the threads deleted.

James, I have been around for quite a while and sad to say, I must agree with you.I have seen people disagree and in the blink of an eye something is deleted. Don't really understand why, but yes it does happen. I hope I dont get deleted for this post.

I don't think I've seen anything deleted but then I don't spend as much time here as I used to. Well I take that back, the only think I have seen deleted was something that might violate the rules of the forum.

I actually almost enjoy it when people disagree with me as long as they do it in a mature and logical fashion and not stalk me afterwards.

Where would we be without debate?!

There will always be debates. I'm not on here much either and don't contribute alot. But I like to see others opinions as long as they don't have any personal attacks. Unforturnely some of the debates do end up with someone posting a very inappropriate question directed at someone and that is where the thread usually ends.

If someone is deleting your posts just beacuse you state your opinion you need to contact Mike. If you aren't breaking any of the TOS rules, and aren't being attacking, rude, etc., and just stating your opinion, you should not be deleted.

I don't delete unless someone is personally attacking, being rude, nasty or spamming, or breaking the TOS.

Did this happen recently? I have been on and off, been quiet busy with my mom--but may have missed it..karen

Can't say I've ever seen this happen. I wouldn't know. I've never personally encountered this.

I'd like to know more about this. Deleting a post simply because we don't agree with it is against the rules. I would never do that...Unless it is a very ugly and hurtful post.
I'm with Karen..If this is something you've seen, feel free to report it to Mike. Or, if it makes you more comfortable, feel free to pm any one of us mods. We can work to get it taken care of in a quiet, productive manner.

We actually had to delete a post and lock a forum last night, because a person posted something that was personal and completely inappropriate and was very hurtful imho. If someone is disagreeing in a nice way, that is no reason to delete.

I'm in agreement with the other mods. I like a nice debate, it gives me a chance to hone up on my oratory skills. I will like for people to prove me wrong when I am, because it helps me to learn.

The only posts I delete are spam-related.

I agree it is very productive if someone has a valid point and makes it in a non-threatening manner so as to not directly attack the poster.

I like a nice debate when I used to express my opinion one person in paticullar use to delete it and I never appreciated it. I was not bashing anyone just having a nice debate. So, to avoid drama like I was told I was doing I just say what I have to say and be done with it. I'm not on here to bash anyone but I know that we ALL cant agree on EVERYTHING. I do appreciate everyone's opinion thats what makes this site special.....

I have seen it on occasion but not often! It usually occurs when someone goes off topic and the thread becomes an irrelevant debate.

I also agree with many above posts .. and hope deleting when disagreeing is not happening often..I recently was very upset about a post lady made..I thought it was directed at me...and after her p.m... I realized I was wrong..we are now friends and I feel very lucky to be her friend and fan!

but I also know that if Kash states something has happened here ..that it has INDEED happened..and am glad she had the integrity to state the truth!!!!

SAME HERE I WATCH POSTS ALL THE TIME AND BELIEVE ME
IT TAKES A PERSONAL ATTACK OR AS FROG SAID WHEN WE GET OFF TRACK ON A POST. NEVER HAVE I SEEN A GUEST
OR POST DELETED FOR THAT PETTY REASON.

I AGREE ABOUT DELETE ALL BAD POSTS IN THIS FORUM.
I THINK IS NOT FARE TO SAY LIES ABOUT MEMBERS.
I THINK IS NOT FARE TO TELL LIES ABOUT debt consolidation CARE EITHER.

One thing I have noticed is that the boards are cleaner than when I first came here. I was shocked by the foul mouths that some of the guests had. It seems to have cleaned up quite a bit. I give credit to the other moderators for that.
