What happens when a post is deleted?
 

I'm pretty careful about what I post, so it hasn't happened to me. I'm curious about what happens. Does the poster get notified or does it just go away? Some get edited, and some go away completely. Just wondering.

P.S. I think the mods do a great job of keeping this site on track! Thanks!

Not sure exactly what you're asking. We typically don't notify people when we delete their posts, unless they ask why their post was deleted. Posts get edited when only a few pics break the rules. Posts get deleted when most or all of the pics break the rules.

That was it.
 

Just curious if they got a note. Thanks.

With mine, I'd actually have preferred it to be deleted and told.
I read the rules first before posting. I then wrote a thread, and I did a "preview" of that thread to make sure it was all by the book, and all attachments that would have made it fit the rules, were nicely in place. So I submitted the thread. However, quite fairly, it went to a moderator to be checked, but I had no idea that in the process the attachments were removed, so I have no idea at all that those attachments that appeared in the preview, aren't actually there, so now the post is sitting in the graveyard, where I can't edit it and fix the problem by linking rather than attaching the images. And I don't want to recreate the thread from scratch, as that would seem a little rude while it's still sitting there in the graveyard. So I'm actually kind of stuck.

I looked at your post in the graveyard and no photos were attached. Try doing a "Test Post" Here: https://forum.oneclickchicks.com/foru...sprune=-1&f=13

This is a test area, so that you can see if your attachments show up.

Moderators usually check the "moderation posts/threads" regularly, so, it shouldn't
take long for a moderated post to show up on a thread.

Deleted Posts
 

This is not restarting the debate about what constitutes "pro pics", so please don't react to this post as that. Sparky 45 asks a legitimate question and I would like to respectfully suggest a particular approach to post deletion.

I've had the experience of posting a number of posts, all of one subject, in a thread on the OCC site. Those posts were on OCC for several years, and had been seemingly well-received and had garnered a number of "thanks." One day, when I went to look for them, I realized that they were gone - gone without a trace. When I inquired, I was originally told that the reason was unknown. Turns out the subject/owner of the pictures had requested removal - at least that's what I was told.

I feel that in a case like this, it's a fair request to make that the poster be notified of both the deletion and the reason. One simple explanation for this is that since no one at OCC originally could tell me why, I was thinking I would just repost them, which the mods would not have been happy about; I certainly would have continued to post new pics of that subject if I hadn't known the reason for deletion. An alternative approach might be to leave the posts there and just delete the pics, with a message indicating that the owner had requested they be taken down. At least then the poster would have a chance of knowing what happened. Does this request seem reasonable?



PS - The deletion of those posts has gotten me a number of PM requests from other OCC members for me to email the removed pics privately to them. I have totally stopped private emailing any pics to OCC members - it's against the rules anyway.

just as a note,
if i ever delete a post due to the material posted, i usually try and imform the poster, and i know that most mods will do the same. it all depends on how much time we have., as mods enjoy browsing just as much as the members, but we are not online 24/7. if its just a small edit, then we usually just edit the post and leave it at that, but if its a larger removal, we do try our best, just so it does not happen again.

regards
CP.

That's not the case as a rule...
 

That doesn't seem to be happening as a rule.

I've had posts deleted twice - once the aforementioned series of posts that were in the 'Ready to Drop' thread for several years, were seemingly well received, and heavily thanked, and that one day I found had just disappeared. No notification. No trace that the posts ever existed. When I inquired with a mod, he didn't know why, nor did he care enough to find out why. It was an OCC member who told me that the pics subject had requested removal.

Another was a single pic post that I didn't care so much about, but again, it just disappeared. I would have preferred a "Pro Pic Removed" notice in the post in that case rather than just have the post disappear. At least then I'd know what the issue was.

To be honest, celeb_peeper, you're not the most active of the mods. There are two very active ones. Perhaps we can hear from them on my request/suggestion...?

I am fairly active, but i mainly stay on the free links and the video threads. i rarely visit the photo threads, unless a report has been sent about a post.

jim914109, you may or may not be including me in your "two very active ones", because I am on the site
almost every day and I do remove lots of reported posts, in addition to many watermarked photos. When I remove
one or more photos from a post, you can determine that I did it and why. You'll see why I removed the photo either at
the beginning of the post or at the end. Like this: https://forum.oneclickchicks.com/show...&postcount=878

When I remove a thread, I usually contact the member via P/M and advise them why I removed their thread. But since I
haven't removed any of your photos or threads... You wouldn't know that. So, I find it inappropriate that you say
that this is not the norm.

Also, there are many variables that cause threads to "disappear". If a person requests that their membership be
terminated... all posts they made and all threads that they started are removed. When the FIRST post in a thread
is removed, the whole thread disappears along with anyone else's post that was there. Then on occasion, Admin
will remove some old threads to make room for new material.

Lastly, when a moderator removes a photo or a thread, I can look and tell you who and why. If Admin removes
something... sometimes I can tell why, but most of the time when Admin removes it, It's gone!

I hope this has helped.

I'm the opposite
 

I guess that's why I don't see you - I almost never visit those areas...I visit just the photo and Fiction and Non-Fiction boards for the most part.

Thanks Mudbug
 

Yes, you are actually a mod I see as currently one of the most active, and your specialty seems to be spotting watermarks and deleting those pics. I see that you usually make some kind of note about what particular pic or pics were deleted when you do. I applaud you for that, for one simple reason - there are so many watermarked pics posted on the boards, I sure don't envy the person who has to try to police it. I don't even bother reporting watermarked pics, because there are so many of them I'd spend most of my OCC time making reports. Personally, I check pics carefully for watermarks before I upload them. I wish others would too.

I'm not so concerned about these issues, as they are more technical. If an entire thread disappears, I would not be likely to think that I was the one who was targeted. I have not started many threads, and all the threads I've started have been 'person specific', in order to avoid the dreaded "Use the search function. Thread Closed!" citation.

Personally, for me, it helps me to know WHY my picture or post has been removed. That is why I inquired about the deletion of a number of posts, all of the same subject, that were in the 'Ready to Drop' thread for years. I was about to repost them, when I learned from another OCC member, and not a mod (even though I had inquired), that the pics' original owner had requested deletion. That's why I thought that notification to the poster was an appropriate thing. I can assure you that I was not notified. I applaud your efforts to notify posters when posts are removed, so that makes it the norm for you. However, if not everyone does notify posters upon removal of posts, then it's not the norm for OCC. Please understand, I'm not trying to argue with you - I appreciate your 'moderator style'. You have a good 'bedside manner'.

Yes, this has helped tremendously. I appreciate your taking the time.

Best Regards,

Jim
