How does TER remain a reliable source of information if important reports can be pulled because OMG someone known to be "top of the line" (as far as reviewers report) has been outed here for bad behavior? Oh well.... guess someone else will have to get screwed w/o pleasure. Not my problem I suppose.

...and removal of the thread was a condition of the satisfaction of his grievance? Or, was the thread's removal due to the popularity of the subject of the post? Who knows? I can't even remember who the OP was.

Ms Chayse,

I think the point is like it or not the post should remain permanent record unless it names names or otherwise is deemed inappropriate.  Why give a poster the option to delete. That option just perpetuates the games. If you post it stand behind it.

Children when did you decide this forum is legitimate,this is we're you grind your axe and sow your seeds.

Not as big an issue but a shill I put into a thread in the morning was gone last night. Reason thread pulled. They easily could have moved the shills in that thread to the thread  started earlier if it was for being a duplicate thread.
Going back to bad behavior - how does one report it here?   I would like to see TER explain that to us. Think posts like the one referred to by LChayse have a lot of value and should be allowed in some form.

Because your shill post was first, it should have remained.

What is worse than that is like what happened a while back when a guy got caught in a sting in St Cloud and he posted a warning here that the sting was in progress and that thread got removed.  Who knows how many people it could have saved?

Your 2 uses of the quotation marks have me a little confused. Are you saying "SOME" to be sarcastic? I understand the sarcasm with the "top of the line" statement, I do not consider her that highly rated myself. Maybe this link will help, or maybe I just need more coffee this morning.

As someone suggested, she called me and I requested it be removed.

Glad to hear things were taken care of to your satisfaction and not just pulled by Admin.  

you did not try to clear this up without making drama.  If you had, your first post would have been different.  

How do you come to the conclusion that he had not tried to clear this up before the post?  His original post said that he had at least a couple of attempts to clear this up before he posted. With that in mind one could have also concluded that she only made contact after he posted and did so get the post removed to protect her reputation.  The one statement that you made that I do agree with is "I (we) have no idea what happened". So how do you make your conclusion?

Prof: "How do you come to the conclusion that he had not tried to clear this up before the post?"  

With an alias to keep in the spirit of things

Can we pretend since GaGambler has no reviews, that I am actually posting under an alias too?

In that case. High five Professor!!! lol

I don't even know how to respond to this other than to say WOW!  So the fact that she finally called him after he posted is evidence to you that he did not even try to make contact before he posted.  How do you make that step in your analysis?

My apologies. I could have (should have) waited until that particular post was forgotten history. It's here now & no I'm not going to ask that it be removed. I will say however, I believe the Op of any thread should be allowed to change their mind & have a post removed. I would only suggest doing so can raise needless suspicion as I think is being demonstrated here.

It clearly listed a sequence of multiple attempts to contact and get an explanation from the provider.

These threads can get confusing. Lol! If so, yes indeed I did & was hoping to see some sort of response but alas that won't be happening. I personally handled the issue privately the way I saw fit. I did not however base my decision on the OP's post alone.

FWIW, if you thought that then others did too, so I'm glad that misconception was cleared up.  I don't want people to think things happened that didn't.

There are certain standards to posting on the boards, and very few people actually read the rules. Since I have no clue about which post you are talking about- I cannot say if the person did or did not follow the standards, but one of the rules regards being insulting- so if the moderator feels that the person is being insulting they can delete it.  

Actually as you read further you'll se the Op asked that the post be removed. Also, TER (sadly) no longer has moderator. Sigh..... I do miss them guys.

AT2222,

...destructive board persona.  

I take what I said about you back.   Your just another  man with no balls.  So chicks sucking my balls are just as personal, but I tell TER all about it.
