    It seems almost everytime i try to make a post i return the next time to find it deleted because some post policeman has deemed it unecessary for public consumption. This usually happens if i make a post that is less than 2-3 lines or even more bizarrely for no reason at all. Don't get me wrong i am in favour of the deletion of obscene/vulgar/flame-type posts but deleting a post for sheer brevity is just ludicrous. If a person wants to post stack so they can get a nice large number next to there name then let them, give their limited lives a fleeting moment of joy, they obviously need it.

    Second gripe, i made a post offering to play someone over the Net in a multiplayer game on the Webgames board(a suitable place). Strangely enough it was deleted. No wonder the board gets no traffic when all posts are getting deleted from it, then again maybe Webgames has a completely different meaning from what i thought it was.

    The same thing happened again on the business/economy board, i made a post asking if anyone knew of any sources, sites etc about the preformance of the Irish Economy, yet again, it was deleted. I'm considering not visiting these boards anymore because of this, of course not that it matters

    Question: Are you sure u are actually posting to these threads/boards? Don't take this the wrong way but it does seem mighty strange that posts you make are getting deleted from multiple boards. Either the mods on all the boards in question have somthing against you, or your not posting right or the post u are making are of mupptry of the highest order.

    You're going to have to give us some examples of what you are posting n order to see whats going on

    I was thinking the same thing as keeks, the moderators of some of them boards are sound people and wouldnt delete without reason.

    Screenshots would be nice.
