First, if you're new, welcome to MinerDigs, and if you're a long time poster who recently took over the job, congratulations. I have to be honest and say that I prefer for the board to moderate itself, but there are a number of posters on here that prefer the board to be moderated, and will be happy that you're here doing the job.
It's obvious that some threads have been recently deleted. From what we can tell it's recent political threads that received the axe. While I am not personally a fan of this decision, I'm happy that it wasn't all OT threads that were removed. There hasn't been any NCAA sports since March, including Miner sports, and this board would have been a ghost town without OT posts.
I am going to ask a favor of you. Please post the guidelines as to what is and isn't allowed on this board. Preferable to that would be a discussion as to what should and shouldn't be allowed on the board, informing your decisions as what to cut and what to leave. Either way, it would be nice for us, the posters on this board, to know what is and isn't allowed.
A couple of suggestions:
1. As long as a thread is labeled correctly, please don't delete it unless it contains truly objectionable material
2. Cut with a scalpel and not a chainsaw. If a thread contains posts that you find objectionable, please delete just those posts and not the entire thread
Thanks for your time. I hope that we can have some discussions so that we can determine, or at least understand, the new rules of this board.
