Suggested new Moderation rule

Lol, ok, please don't edit any of your posts, mkay?

You could have raised a better point with the moderators getting paid per action:

It's not per action.

This post gave the impression that it is:

I remember I had a thread with absolute posting rules posted in the OP, clearly stating that if anyone goes off-topic that their post will be deleted by a mod. Mods did this regularly, but then got bored apparently. When I asked Theymos directly, he said "Start your own self-moderated thread". This sent the message to me that moderators don't want to moderate. Once I found out they're being paid to moderate, that is no longer acceptable.

Two things with this:
1) This was before the upgrade to the report system. It was hard to keep track of what had and hadn't been handled.
2) This was also before we started being paid.

Matthew, I always cleaned your threads when I was online and I was made aware of an issue. In fact, we make more money if we handle these issues, so if I saw that now I would scope that up in a heartbeat.

If by edit you mean change the content and meaning of a post after people have even a slightest chance to read it (i.e. after I hit post) then no I would never do that, I find that kind of thing reprehensible.

I'm still wondering why my post there has disappeared .

I split it off and sent it over here, since it was off-topic

What software/provider is it?  I would like to make a plea for my innocence.

No idea. It's a generic Bluecoat message. No indication which filter engine this is coming from.

No "commercial provider" per se. I'm on Internet2/X-WiN via the company proxy.

I wouldn't worry about it, I believe it is a localized issue (I have privileges with two Internet2 backbone participates and neither showed an issue).  Also online threat advisory sites (even ones known to give false readings) all gave either a completely clean bill of health or marked the site as well as the external links as "benign" (which is equivalent).  I didn't bother going deeper than the main page but it seems like it might be mishitting a random rule or perhaps some social elements cause issues (heck it could just be word context, I've seen some oddly built filters in my time).

Also I didn't know moderators got paid; probably for the best in most cases (it's very easy to burn yourself out with such a task).
