Deleted posts and notifications

[Kern Dog]

Hello,
I sometimes get posts deleted when the staff takes offense to them. They usually come with a notification that the post was deleted along with a brief explanation. Many times it is a matter of something posted in the wrong forum.
I find this to be courteous and I appreciate it. Other sites are often not nearly as nice about it.
I know that sometimes we, ME especially, post something that is thought to be funny and the staff steps in. I don't like it but I understand it.
My concern is that when a post is deleted, I never know exactly what was deleted. If I posted once a week, it would be easy to narrow it down. Usually, I don't know what was deemed to be unacceptable. If there were a way to better describe the post or meme in question, that would help me and others to NOT post it again.
The notifications of LIKE-DISLIKE-AGREE-DISAGREE always show who clicked that but the notifications by the staff do not. I guess that is to stop potentially angry members from taking it out on the staff member that took action? The deleted post notifications don't allow a view of the deleted post...maybe that is simply a matter of site programming?
I'd rather not poke the bear in terms of reposting something that angers the staff.

See, now you start off wrong right there. Staff deletes posts when they break the rules, of which you are very aware...

You don't think we are both right? Sometimes things are a judgement call just like with traffic police.
I'm not starting a fire here, I'm asking for help.

Store what you post.

 

[Kern Dog]

Thanks, I do that.
I have thousands of memes stored. I post them for the same reasons that other members do...to entertain and to pass along information. Text comments are gone with the wind when they are deleted.
I imagine that one with more skill could "screenshoot" each page they post in but that is bonkers.
I was simply asking if there is some way to inform us what the specific post was so we could avoid posting it again.
I've had stuff deleted on other forums and thought that I made a technical mistake in the process of posting it...so I posted it again and got scolded. I'm not an especially skilled computer operator. I'm like the guy that can drive well but can't change a tire.

Would you like detailed directions on how to change a tire ?

FLASH ALERT.... SEE POST ABOVE

Sometimes things are a judgement call just like with traffic police.

So.....just for argument sake....this is the post I think you're referring to:

Please tell me how I come across as a 'snowflake' for deleting this post, which followed a meme in the Political Forum posted by a fellow member who posts meme's that you seem to enjoy.

I looked and I couldn't see any other reason for the post above, other than a blatant attack on a fellow member. Should I have turned a blind eye to that?

I also gave a fair reason for deletion.....you would have seen that in your alerts. And I'm sure you are accustomed to my style of writing by now.

The Staff do not delete posts just to be annoying...there's always a sound reason for doing so.

Whoa....
The comments I made were directed at Maria Shriver! Her message said that her son asked why Kyle wasn't charged. I responded that he WAS charged, tried and acquitted!

I wasn't aware that Maria Shriver was a member here.

Maybe quoting the correct post could have put the necessary context into your disapproval......

 

[Kern Dog]

This:

I was calling Maria a Fuckface. As a "journalist" she should have known the difference between being charged and being convicted.

I agree.

 

[kiwigtx]

I agree.

Apology accepted.
