Today I found over 60 posts in my inbox that were all messages saying I had posts deleted.
A few short weeks ago humble #RussiaCoin has also fallen foul of mprp's heavy hand with more than 10% of all of our post having been deleted. The Russiacoin thread was started June 7 2015 and 43 of our posts in
our own thread having been deleted by mprp
all the way back to 2015 in the one thread. Some but not all of our posts have been rolled into one post here and there, but others were deleted without clear reason. When I tried to ask mr.mprp to explain why he didn't even issue warning he said its not his job to warn, just delete posts for being multiple posts. There have been some other threads in the weeks that followed
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5241332.msg54323822#msg54323822 is one about many people's posts being deleted without warning.
It appears that someone was implementing a script that uses flawed logic.
I have found someone called Suchmoon has even made an app or something here (
[HACK] One-click mod report, not for the faint of heart) and even another link for a competition who can mark the most posts (
Top reporters! ) so there is a race underway to give posters a black mark for multiple posts with an app to speed up the process. I am not sure if I am reading this post properly, Suchmoon is even coaching people in what to say in their reports: (
"Report to moderator" wording) Suchmoon also wants a second link to report posts: (
Add "Manager" link to signatures) and he has it in for Sir Quickseller:
Quickseller is a dangerous person to deal with - avoid And from what I can see in the topic you linked, the multiple posts of several members have been merged into a single post.
So, is it really a big deal ?
I can not recall just now who said it, but someone in one of the other posts said something about us lower down the ranks are having their posts deleted to prevent them from gaining ranks. I had 359 posts, now I only have 316 - a few posts were weeks apart, so it now looks like there was no activity in the #RussiaCoin thread for many months which is a blow to the stomach since our coins were lost in both Cryptopia and Tradesatoshi (run by the same people FYI)
I'd say it's not necessary, and even if posts aren't deleted, merging them can break other links (such as Reference links in Trust ratings).
The mods in the other threads will tell you they all have different opinions about what does and does not get deleted.
