Account deactivation

[zoran]

seems to be a major problem to 'some' forum moderators bewildering to know why?
Aravisian (community leader?) seems to be the sole instigator. What on earth does does deleting an account and posts have any relevance to a forum?

[zoran]

Does anyone with knowledge of the subject know what it's about?

Got tired of Forpli going on about mint problems on a zorin forum, especially since it wasn't a major problem.

But then got bushwhacked by some sort of community leader and their associate, which I thought was rather silly.

Well, if posts were deleted, there could've been a civility issue. See the link for the forum guidelines and the quote below for the general help section's bit about user moderation.

As far as discussing Linux Mint, both Zorin and Mint are based on Ubuntu (not considering Mint's special Debian only version): so, problems and their respective solutions are often applicable to both.

As a more frequent forum lurker than poster, I've found the moderators to be fairly patient, and I generally trust their discretion.

Just be calm, be civil, and be welcomed.

@Aravisian

Users guide to Moderation:

Maintaining a friendly and inclusive environment within our forum necessitates occasional moderation of posts. This involves actions such as moving posts, splitting threads, and ensuring discussions remain on-topic while upholding community guidelines.

Moderators are bound by ethical standards to intervene when necessary, which may include closing or removing topics. It is imperative that such actions are carried out in an impartial manner.
Should a moderator need to privately message in their official capacity, this private message is to be logged in the moderator forum, providing protections for the members and accountability.

A moderator may need to remove a post or edit its content for clear violations of the guidelines. Examples of such violations include:

• Inflammatory or inciting content
• Spam or unauthorized advertising

We understand that moderation can be unpleasant.
If you find one of your posts has been moderated, it is helpful to reflect on your own engagement with the post in question. Were you emotionally involved? Was the post accusatory, off-topic, or derogatory? If so, moderation may have been necessary.

However, it's important to note that moderators may not intervene simply because they disagree with the opinions expressed in an on-topic post or due to personal biases.

If you believe a moderator has made an error in moderation, you can flag the post and provide supporting statements to explain your position. This may lead to a peer-review of the action taken.

Thank you for your cooperation in maintaining a respectful and constructive environment for all members of our forum.

You got the Explanations here:

List installed kernels - Off topic tangent

Please read the Guidelines for posting. Many GnuLinux users explore and distrohop; and there are no "true intentions" being displayed; @Forpli made a comparison between Zorin OS and Mint OS. Which is a common occurrence across the forum. Ad Hominem posts will be moderated: Remember to challenge the merit of claims and ideas - do not insult the person.

List installed kernels - Off topic tangent

He did (Highlighting added by me): That is from the first post in the thread.

List installed kernels - Off topic tangent

Even when @Aravisian pointed out your error, by showing this... You then demenstrate this behavior bellow... You demonstrate the lack of ability to, admit when you are wrong, to take the correction, learn from it, and to not infringe again. Regarding your 2nd point, yes I do expect one to read the posts, to be informed, before making a reply themselves. By admitting your lack of doing so, only demonstrates your ignorance, and by your behavior, arrogance. Continue this behavior, and you wil…

List installed kernels - Off topic tangent

Yes... Reading the initial post in the thread is best practice. Please take accountability for your actions. Thread closed with a second warning in your direction.

[zoran]

Thanks for the advice and input from you guys, but simply want out and don't like some stranger trying to control what and what not can do. leaving behind anything is peanuts so don't appreciate the hold on what is up for deletion

[zoran]

we had a run in once and probably a misunderstanding @Ponce-De-Leon but have also respected your help and advice and solutions, but not once, until cornered, did so and so reveal it was specifically for a mint os... read the posts

@zoran

What on earth does does deleting an account and posts have any relevance to a forum?

As I pointed out here:

@Aravisian

This thread is closed, but still public. Should you have a grievance that reflects on mismanagement or unfair treatment - This thread should be Opened for Public discussion.

...and here:

@Aravisian

However, given that your protest stems from this public thread alone (also closed, but not deleted and remains public):

No accounts were deleted.

No posts were deleted.

No threads were deleted.

@zoran

but not once, until cornered, did so and so reveal it was specifically for a mint os... read the posts

As pointed out here:

List installed kernels - Off topic tangent

He did (Highlighting added by me): That is from the first post in the thread.

It was the very first thing he said in a not very long thread. In no way was anyone "making an admission once cornered."

@zoran

But then got bushwhacked by some sort of community leader

By engaging in ad hominem, you were moderated.

Lastly, as pointed out here:

@Aravisian

However...
Cluttering the forum is not necessarily the productive way to air a protest.

This thread is closed, but still public. Should you have a grievance that reflects on mismanagement or unfair treatment - This thread should be Opened for Public discussion.

However, given that your protest stems from this public thread alone (also closed, but not deleted and remains public):

I think any reader can see we are not at that point, just yet.

Cluttering the forum by bypassing thread closures repeatedly is grounds to have your account suspended.

Do not bypass thread closures by opening new ones on the same topic.
