status-resolved Has anyone here Ever had their Post Deleted Unfairly?

[WhoaDomain.com]

Hello,
Since I can't discuss or complain about why a few of my posts in one of the threads was deleted. I figured I'd start a post to discuss it.

So has anyone ever felt that their post was deleted unfairly?

Case in point. I mentioned some domains I registered. Then someone proceed to comment that my domains were problems with Trademark. Fine. So I proceeded to correct this person in rebuttal. yet somehow only my rebuttal was deleted under the reason as "off topic" yet this other person's remarks wasn't.

If we really must be facist about things then shouldn't this person's trademark comment be deleted too? I mean why am I not allowed to rebuttal on trademark issues? especially if someone "took it there"?

I mean seriously. kinda one sided don't you think? or is it because the person mentioning the trademark issue is an "established member" which means they are what? A Namepros employee? so it's ok then to poo poo on my domain reg? I mean I can respect anyone's opinion but let me reply back in return. Fair is fair is it not?

If someone brings up a Trademark issue in a VR domain discussion then isn't that OFF TOPIC too? and if it's NOT then this person has literally given me the right to rebuttal. Namepros seems to have some kind of favoritism here. Fair or unfair?

Has anyone experienced this? if so let's hear it. This is an open forum after all. And I am creating this brand new ON TOPIC DISCUSSION about DELETED POSTS.


So let's hear it.

I openly admit some of my posts were justifiably deleted because I was an idiot and not thinking but this time around? I JUST DON'T GET IT.

Someone please explain?

And just so that I'm not the ONLY ONE in the BOAT. Someone PLEASE SHARE your own EXPERIENCE similar to this? Thanks.

Yep, I've had posts deleted many times, have been warned to be nice. Since it's not my house I must abide by the rules when inside the house.

It is what it is, don't take it personally I didn't.

oh I never take it personally. an explanation would be nice if we're being civil about it. sometimes when it happens you just say "Huh?" or "Whaaaa?"

Anyone else? thanks Mad409

"Unfairly" and "Biased" are very subjective and "loaded" terms. Don't take it personally, I've had posts deleted. NP's house = NP's rules -- whether you like them or not...

When issues (deletions) have occurred I've discussed it with mods or Erik and that was that (I've never prevailed.) But at least things were discussed and I came away with a better understanding of what their concerns were.

Either you get over it and move forward or you don't and just stew in your own juices and let it bring you down. Personally, I don't let things get my panties in a wad.. NP's overall value FAR out weighs the occasional "problem" I may encounter here.

ok I see what you are saying. but let me put things into perspective for you. see what you just wrote? you took the time to right that right? and I'm sure you feel strongly about what you've just written yes? and I'm sure you believe that it's appropriate for the topic of this thread yes? and you took time out of whatever better things you could have done instead of giving your two cents to a total stranger yes?

ok......now imagine all of it was DELETED? poof!

how do you feel now? it's as if what you've just said meant nothing. poof! gone.

I get the rules. I think whats bugging me more is that thee other person's posts weren't removed but mines were?

you mentioned my "loaded" words? well that my friend well this situation I mean is a LOAD. but anyways whatever NP's house NP's rules.

He feels nothing. He doesn't take it personally. It happens to the best of us.

Simply put: rewrite it, don't cry about it.

Unless of course, you are trying to play the part of your avatar. It seems like he'd be pretty pissed off if he had his post deleted.

ok I just posted in the thread where my post was deleted. by accident I was page 1 of the thread. and wouldn't you know it? the first page of the thread? had an adult domain on it? lol shaking my head.

 

[WhoaDomain.com]

oh what I'm a baby now? lol alright alright. whatever. I'm figuring no one has the guts to post their REAL reactions on here about when their posts got deleted for fear of getting banned. lol that's fine. it's all good. moving forward.

Yep! That's one of those quirky things that you'll encounter here and I know it can really get under your skin if you let it.

We're all babies at one time or another.

I've been where you're at now. In full troll rage when NamePros has deleted on of my posts. The important thing to remember is it happens to everyone and not to take it personally.

Again I must REPEAT ok? it's not so much that my post was deleted but that the person I was rebutting too or replying to about my domain having trademark issues got to keep her smart alec remarks in.

I go to the last full page on the VR thread and see you have 10 posts on that page (including one whopper, and three posts in a row). So not like you're being silenced in the thread

https://www.namepros.com/threads/virtual-reality-domains-vr.823495/page-667


The themed threads can get sidetracked real easy.

A person giving a comment that a domain has a trademark would not be sidetracking. But when it is turned into a "no it's not" then all of a sudden the thread is turned into the legal section.

Thanks for understanding.

"Whaaaa?"

j/k felt appropriate .

I think I've had 1 or 2 off-topic posts deleted. It happens.

 

[WhoaDomain.com]

so it is one side then? what if me posting my domains in that thread was for the purpose of showcasing my domain so that maybe who knows someone in the thread liked one of my domains. especially the one that was mentioned as being trademarked? then that trademark basically prevented me from getting a potential buyer yes?

so in that scenario I lost a sale because I couldn't DEFEND that my domain doesn't have a trademark issue?

tell me again why I wouldn't find issue with that?

of course this is all hypothetical because I can't prove there was or wasn't an actual potential buyer or interested party on that thread. but that's besides the point. the point is it was or could have been a possibility. This is afterall NAMEPROS where buyers and sellers of domains mingle yes?

 

[johname]

You can always go back to post where you mention your name and add to the post. Or open a thread in the legal section and debate the TM and link to it.

Good Luck

The only posts that should be removed are ones that violate a rule. If you see a post that you feel violates a rule and should also be removed, but was missed by staff, please report the post so staff can investigate further. With literally thousands of posts per day, it's hard for staff to catch every single rule violation. Your reports help staff stay on top of keeping the community clean and threads on-topic.

Thanks for understanding,
