I just got warned and had posts deleted for 'trolling' because (*gasp*) God forbid I hold an opinion that differs from the status quo in regards to Vista.

This isn't the first time I've seen this. The only people who have been getting their posts deleted are people who have issues with Vista. As long as you're part of the feel-good love fest, its alright, but if you're not in agreement you get labeled a troll and have your posts deleted. I thought moderators were supposed to be impartial? I could accept this without the slightest bit of protest if it were applied fairly, but it hasn't been.

I was not trolling, I was keeping things quite civil. I do not appreciate the implication or the unwarranted warning simply because I hold an opinion that is different. If this forum is not a place to express your views and knowledge, I must ask, what is it's purpose?
 
If you disagree with a moderators decision, the best thing to do is very politely PM them asking for an explanation. If you still disagree and want to push the point, I guess you could email Kyle, but I would be pretty careful about how you express yourself at that point. It's got to be extremely difficult to moderate in a forum this size, so some mistakes are bound to happen, but they're just using their best judgment, and following the directions handed down from management.

as you saw...my shit also got deleted. just deal with it. i'm fine with it as i prolly crossed the line and was being a little childish. and you can always PM odoe and ask like he posted in the thread. haven't been around for awhile and making some of the posts i've made, i'm surprised i haven't been slapped around a bit more lol
 
If you have a problem and think you are being treated unfairly, contact an Admin.....
