Sense of humour absent on BE

The weakness in the system is, I am sorry to say, having it run by a non-native speaker.  (No criticism of Mod;  she is doing her best.)  It is not, and should never be, the number of reports that counts;  it's what they complain about.

I am sure you do, Mod (a thankless task), but somehow a lot of spam gets through.  How?

And surely Mod could enlist the help of a native speaker when in doubt.  There's a good telephone service.

We do ask for help.

When a post is reported we ask the member why they report it.

You are always welcome to contact Nookie for a totally unbiased answer!

You see, 100% proof that it isn't!

[isanbirder]

It's not just reported posts'  it's spammers.

Well, regardless of all the crap that Nookie puts out I will defend him as not being a spammer.   So I hope Mod does not ban him.

Thankyou Keith........Neither do I report anything,never have,never will!

Well another post gone with the wind with no explanation. 

[Nobby]

Well another post gone with the wind with no explanation.

Maybe not many people would be interested in an explanation
Of every action a Mod does???

Just a thought?

I'm curious as to why my post was removed as I can't imagine how anyone would find it offensive.

Yesterday I wrote (can't remember exact wording)

'Agree, I also don't report posts. If I don't like something, I just ignore it. Life's to short'

This is just an opinion on a subject being discussed. I accept opinions differ however I fail to understand how my comment would warrant removal ??

So if your post is deleted with no explanation or notice that is fine with you?   I was talking about my specific post.  Plus it is obvious from Freddy's post that this happened to others.

But I do agree that if Mod deleted your post I probably would not be interested in an explanation.

Agree. I don't expect public explanation of another members post is removed however it would be nice to understand the reason if one of mine is removed. Just common courtesy.

I confirm now that no posts have been removed yesterday and today.

There are some members have problem posting. When you post you can enter again and check the post is there. Some people say their post is added but it is not.

[urleft]

Well then something is causing missing posts as I made a post here last night and saw it posted. 

[Freddy]

Yes. My post was there last night but gone this morning. Must be a system glitch. No big deal.

It seems that many members cannot decipher what British humour is. Lol. How are the staff on here supposed to.
