Do admins edit comments without notification?

[Thayer Abaigael]

Good Morning,

I went to look at a comment, where I had posted photos of project I finished, and the photos are gone and the comment has been edited. I don't have any messages from admins about it, either.

I'm super confused.

Yes, they will take out whatever they think is not suitable for conversation. Never explain why either. If they think it will cause any drama it is gone.

I'm still confused why my comment would've caused drama. Who do I contact to find out why it was deemed not suitable, or ?

Karen McEuen is a moderator. Im sure there are others, but she seems to be the most prominent.

Usually the only thing the admins remove is spam, and a thread that has become arguementive. It may have been deleted by mistake.

Re: Do admins edit comments without notification?

I've not removed any comment or photos in a month. A couple threads have been deleted that turned out to have been from people that ended up being spammers, but that is it. Which thread was your comment on?

Thanks, Karen. It was on the Wednesday thread in General Chit-Chat. We can take this to DMs, if that's a better place to discuss.

Your Wednesday comment hasn't been edited as far as I can tell. It does show if I edit someone's comment. I will do yours above to show you. BTW, your Pan pics are on Tuesday if that was what you were looking for

Holy smokes! I apologize profusely! My mind seems to be a complete jumble, apparently, and sorry to be a bother.

Thanks for taking the time and energy to guide me through, Karen. Much appreciation.

Thayer, I can't speak for Karen (she's a wonderful moderator by the way - but I suspect you have figured that out yourself), but I will speak for me, don't beat yourself up. All of us were new to the forum at some point and learning the ins and outs and how to navigate the site.

For future reference, a quick way to find one of your posts (or started threads), is to go to your profile page. You'll see a list of options (under your name & picture) that looks something like this:

Send Private Message
User Notes User Notes (4)
Find latest posts
Find latest started threads

Then you can click on the appropriate choice.

Also, if you ever have questions about navigating the site, please don't hesitate to ask us, none of us know everything, but between all of us we know most (LOL).

Yes, thank you, Caroline. Also, no forum surfing before caffeine from now on, I promise...

Don't feel bad. I dumped my bowl of hot oatmeal in my lap this morning.

Ah, but forum surfing while enjoying some caffeine is wonderful!

Hope you're okay after your mishap with your oatmeal Karen....I've done the same thing and ended up with a nasty burn a few years back!
