Had 6 mails deleted this morning. A personal record
The new forum interface doesn't indicate which mod deleted my mails but I can hazard a guess...
I wasn't surprised that some of the mails were deleted as they mentioned the forum's most incompetent moderator by name, which is presumably against forum rules.
Sorry about that, I wont mention that pathetic oxygen thief's user name again.
The reason for deletion given for several of the mails was that I don't like DFI, which was quite strange as those mails explained what I like about DFI. Those mails also mentioned the mod who shan't be named in a non favourable light, which (in my opinion) was the real reason they were deleted, which is fine (apart from him lying about his reason to try and save his pride). Mails, getting deleted at a moderators discretion is understandable.
The reason "learn English" was pretty funny. My mails yesterday which weren't deleted contained grammatical errors, but didn't mention that mod. But a mail which highlighted that particularly mod's lack of knowledge and his factually wrong post gets deleted for "poor" English...
But the reason "post references" confused me. Is that some rule now?
Presumably that will be applied to all posts for here on...
Don't even know what that mod found upsetting and what I'm meant to be referencing. One of those mails referred to the forum's russophiles lack of knowledge of Russia and the Soviet Union and the forum's leftists lack of knowledge of Marxism, which could have been construed as a criticism of the forum. If that was what I am meant to be referencing, how am I meant to do that? The rest of the posts were just correcting some technical details made in an incorrect statement by a poster, with whom I engaged in a reasoned and respectful discussion.
Think I'd be the forum's most senior non Indian (ex-)military/ defence professional still posting and can remember when the forum was full of knowledgeable posters, both Indian and others. The actions of a single moderator, with a penchant for deleting all mails which don't agree with his (incorrect) image of a non Indian nation/ political system has alienated all those non Indian ex members and, in my opinion, has also resulted in those Indians, who used to make excellent contributions to the forum, no longer bothering to post/ leave the forum.
Can't imagine I'm alone in noticing the decline in the level of discussion, and knowledge, present on the forum.
