Default what is the proper why to contact the people in charge of the forums?

I write this because many of my posts are just deleted. And then I read messages from people who are just evil and their posts go through and some have thousands of posts? I bought the book, does that give me a pass; not as I know. Do I have to be on a special list? Are the people with high post counts able to delete other people posts?

Is this going to be moved? I am a villager, I welcome a mod to my home. I may not agree with what I think is nonsense, but I'd like to add my peace. I don't call out people, nor do I name names.

Can I be cut a break, I like these forums!

I have had seven posts deleted today. It is up to the moderator on duty.

Dude,
No idea what is happening or why. I do recall someone stating there was a way that 'anyone' could delete anyones post. I have not tried this, but I have in the past deleted my own posts when comments started to go negative.
In any case, you can email ToTV at: 'TalkOfTheVillages' <talkofthevillages@gmail.com>.
Give them as much info as possible, maybe they can determine what is going on. BTW, whenever they have moved a post of mine, I got an email explaining why it was moved, I am sure the same would be done for a deletion.
Hope this helps.

There is no explanation for a deleted post and I don't think anybody but the people in charge can delete other people's posts.

I sent a nasty note to the mods through a post that I tagged that was just mean and trying to get over on me. His location stated that it was in GG's Bloomers. I see that his post disappeared.

I forgot about the moderators, but I have gotten notes from them also, I had no idea posts were being deleted with no explanation. Was it possible there was foul or offensive language in the post? No need to reply, I am just thinking out loud....

If a post, outside of the Political Forum, violates the rules (link below)...it is usually deleted by a moderator.

No public reason is given...nor typically even needed.

Check your PMs. I usually get a message from the mods when a post is deleted or moved that includes the reason.

I've almost always had a PM when a thread I started has been moved...but can't ever recall one for a post being deleted.
