My posts keep getting deleted?

[Emily198097]

Why am I not able to have a post in the general elcysandir convo AND in recruiting? This is censorship!

No, it's enforcement of the forum rules. Please read them: https://us.forum.elvenar.com/index.php?threads/forum-rules.702/

Okay, so there is no "discussion" in the elcysandir world? It is just a bunch of random stuff but YOU are able to recruit with your signature?

 

[Emily198097]

We were simply trying to sell a couch and invite people to our ice cream party!

 

[OIM20]

For pity's sake.

Look, discussion is fine. Posting five or more ads for one fellowship? That's not discussion. That's "No one else is allowed to recruit but me!"

Seriously, that's how it comes across.

And you can choose not to view my signature. It's in your account settings. I can choose to advertise from it. You can choose to advertise from your signature too.

 

[Emily198097]

I posted ONE recruitment thing. I then posted about our ice cream and beer party. We had a couch for sale. Our AM refused to sell his socks. Then I posted about Halloween. What is your problem?

 

[Emily198097]

Oh, also, the death ray post was merged and it had NOTHING to do with advertising. It was simply posted for bragging rights.

 

[Emily198097]

For "pity's sake" we won a trophy for most bizarre recruiting post. How can you be upset about that?

 

[OIM20]

If the posts weren't for advertising your FS, why were they in the "FS seeking Members" subforum?

 

[Emily198097]

They weren't they were in the elcysandir chat page. The post in the "fellowship seeking members" was the recruiting post.

 

[OIM20]

No, they were in the subforum - else they wouldn't still be listed there as being merged.

 

[Emily198097]

Who made you God of Elcysandir?

 

[OIM20]

And that's the ignore button for me.

The world threads are really for recruiting. General goofiness belongs in the lounge. No threads have been deleted.

excellent to know! thank you!

I erred and posted a couple of comments accidently in a recruiting thread and I don't even know which world it was for. Someone stringently objected to my posts .. i realized what had happened and removed my comments with apologies.

Had used search engine for a topic and wound up in the recruiting thread because topic was in FS description. Eish!

Censorship in Elvenar forums, I've only seen it when someone angrily goes off the rails, like in a BIG big way.

 

[Emily198097]

Nope, it happens here too. Can't even banter with competing teams.

 

[Iyapo1]

Of course you can banter with other FS members you just cant say they suck on their recruiting thread and call it banter.
