Most forums on the internet over overly moderated. People feel good when they can create rules form thin air, logical or not...
That's life my friend.
I don't see any deleted posts dude nor do I see anything in moderation which is usually the most likely reason a post doesn't show.Quote:

Despite what you may think, mods over there rarely delete posts. If I can help I will but if you have removed yourself then...
Not at the NI forum. There is a written set of rules. Forum Admin and Mods do not interpret them ad-hoc.Quote:

Big difference from a discussion forum to a product forum.
Anyhoo.
This forum does seem a little "friendlier" if that makes any sense. Maybe its layout or whatever but I only go over there when I get bored here. ha
Honestly, I kinda agree w/ OP. I like the NI forums for reading but I rarely post because the mods all seem like they have the internet equivalent to little guy syndrome. They definitely close threads whenever they don't like or don't agree w/ them, which sorta defeats the purpose of a "forum."
I've seen all kinds of fascist, insecure bullshit coming from the mods over there. They seem like a bunch of know it all types who want revenge for being made fun of in middle-school or something. Ya know, the type of person who becomes a cop, (for the same reason.)
It's pathetic and embarrassing and I've honestly thought about telling them about it myself but haven't gotten around to it.
NI forums are NOT a friendly place at ALL!! Over-moderated up-tight cry babies.
Maybe they are "over-moderated", but don't blame the moderators. Blame NI. Like Karlos said, there apparently are very explicit rules and guidelines that the moderators must enforce. It's a "user" forum, but it ultimately has to represent the NI brand in a specific way. Do some moderators take advantage of their "power"? Who knows, but they do have a specific job to do that might not reflect their personal beliefs.
Ya, I know it's about pr and all that but it's just so douchey I can't stand it. Not at all enjoyable.Quote:
