PM_Mama,

I haven't seen the thread or post in question, but I can tell you this. Mods are not here to censor you but they are responsible for maintaining their posts in their forums. They've been given the job because they are knowledgeable of the things pertaining to their forum, and in this case, their organization. Just as no organization is the same...not all forums are the same.

It is not wrong to be curious and read the posts in the BGLO forums. I read them every day and since my first day on GreekChat I've enjoyed reading their topics because they have a lot of good ones going on in there.

The moderators do not delete posts for their own enjoyment. Nor do they do so "because they can." They take into consideration their fellow members' interests and have guidelines on what is acceptable and what is not. Perhaps your reply was unacceptable?

Offensive posts will be deleted right away because they tend to be rude or disrespectful to the GC community. Just like that. No questions asked. No explanation given. But--if there's a post that a user feels is justified, a moderator will usually give his/her reason for that deletion.

If this is the case then I'd suggest emailing the moderator privately instead of posting publicly on this message board. This would probably be a better way to handle this situation, because, to be honest...after initially reading this post I felt as if a lynch mob was being organized against the mod in question. Please don't be offended, but that was my initial reaction.

Finally, your status simply changed after GC was transferred to the new system. It's not a demotion--that's what it came to be. Maybe the administrator can talk to the software people about getting it fixed to the old way?
