[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you think DCUM moderates fairly?

Sometimes I’m surprised by what gets deleted or locked, eg it seems fairly innocuous. I recall being really interested in this thread on traveling to India (I was thinking about a trip) and it was locked because someone was posting about safety for women travelers. Seemed like a fair discussion and I didn’t understand why it was locked.

But other times it seems like there are really disruptive and aggressive posters who don’t seem to be restricted at all. I often wonder if some of the nasty posts are from the same poster as there are a few who seem to have a telling posting ‘style’, but who knows?

I think there are a bunch of babies on here who report things that hurt their thin skin when they can just click away. I've seen it in interesting discussions like you mention, PP.[/quote]

Yeah, that seems accurate to me. It frustrates me because interesting threads get locked or things are deleted. Meanwhile my sense is those ‘reporters’ are often the nasty in other posts but who knows? There was a poster in a thread I was on recently who was insulting people left and right, and a few posts clapped back at her/him. Those posts were deleted, not the op’s. [/quote]

I remember that thread on India.  I posted to it because I lived in India for a few years and subsequently travelled there for work 15+ times.  Figured I'd share what I know.  Then one day I went back to check it and it was locked.  I dont' even remember anything particularly bad on the thread.  There were some people posting bad (imo) advice and ignoring some of the concerns you might face as a solo female traveller, but nothing compared to some of the hate I've seen on other topics.[/quote]

That thread was really good but there are people who can't tolerate hearing anything bad about other countries because I guess they take it personally? 🤷‍♀️[/quote]

Yeah, that’s what bugs me sometimes. The thin skinned run and get good threads shut down, and then other crazies are left to post and post. I guess the mods don’t have time to sort through things, but it does seem odd at times. There’s a poster on Pet forum who I recognize who often starts out nice, but quickly spirals and starts ranting and insulting people and calling them horrible pet owners, selfish, entitled, dumb, etc for the most minor of things (recent post was a lady who asked- but didn’t- if a dog could jump into a public fountain). You’d think she shot someone by the way this poster was ranting. [/quote]

Are you saying you report that poster and it doesn't get shut down?[/quote]

The thread was shut down, yes. Not by me though. Not sure who it was, I didn’t follow that closely. But I did notice some responses missing when I went back to check, yet the posts insulting people were still there. So I wonder if she’s the one who got it closed by complaining. I sometimes think the nastiest ones may be the ones who then run to complain when people respond to them… mean but thin skinned! [/quote]

I know what poster your talking about, totally obnoxious. I'm a very normal poster and noticed the spiraling and hostility and reported it for having gone off the rails resulting in the lock.[/quote]
