I won't reply because apparently that's frowned upon, but:
"This thread is for feedback for when the vogons website was updated not for complaints on how the forum is run. If this is something that you feel deeply concerned about then I suggest either creating another thread and/or a PM to moderators.
What may seem simple to you from your perspective may be a rabbit hole from another perspective. I'm not going to go into any detail on how we moderate since that can be used to learn how we do things and figure out how to operate under the radar. If we receive a complaint or complaints then we handle it. If there are several of these then we make a judgement call on how important the posts are before deleting them instead of spending a lot of time on each individual post that shouldn't have been posted anyway (replying to spam), the posts in this case really weren't very important although to you they may be.
P.S. If this post is replied to I'm not going to respond since this isn't the thread for such discussion."
This is the kind of post from someone with ultimate control that makes me leave forums. It's akin to saying "If you don't like my forum, go create your own." Yeah no, I want to continue to have discussions, just not have to go through a dictator to do that. I don't contribute here that much honestly, but for something so small and niche, you'd think there would be a little more lax rule set to follow. It's not like this is Reddit or anything.
