Do the boards even have a set "terms and conditions" page? Could possibly help on a lot of problems we have...

A girl on my cheerleading team saw something inappropriate on facebook and brought it to the boards to try and band everyone together to get it reported and taken down and she was new to the boards or something and wasnt aware that what she wrote would get her account banned but now she cant come on the boards anymore and she came to practice bawling because its plastered on the front of the board section and has like almost 3000 views about what she did. I never saw her post so I dont want what happened to affect me at all but if it was bad enough that she got banned I am sure it was for a decent reason but I dont agree with it being posted about what she did on the top of the all star section fair.. shes completely embarassed and it has literally affected her because the admin was so mean about it.. which I dont find fair because she is a child and what she did is up there for everyone to read. So yes.. I agree with the original poster.. sometimes I think it gets taken a bit too far.
Which is exactly the point I am trying to get across so thank you very much for understanding. I have no clue what she said so I would sound stupid trying to justify that part of it ... but my issue is that its pinned at the top of the all star thread ... and that is REALLY embarassing :/ She understands what she wrote was something that the admins didnt like.. shes knows that she should have worded it way differently... but when I talked to her about it when it happened she said she didnt take back her motive and she knows it was in her best interest of the unnamed cheerleader.I know what topic you're eluding to, and I think the posting was inappropriate - but seeing how it was a "minor" as you're purporting posting it - perhaps public ridicule isn't the best policy.. I hope that she can learn from her mistakes though.

ha ok? I really dont have much more to say ha that was pretty much itI am PM'ing you.
I agree and this was NONE of those...oh well.....I live another day...:) It is ok we dont all agree...it's just good to be grown up about it and do like I do....if ya can't stand someone's posts...ignore them....but trust me...we can't ignore Admins....so thats not great...:)Things to me, that usually can get a post locked/deleted:
*Anything of an adult-centered, 'mature' inappropriate nature, particularly if it discusses minors (that was that post at the top).
*Pointing out specific minors by name, especially if it's a full name (which is probably why that flyer thread got deleted).
*Particularly inflammatory posts, especially during heated times. Wanting to keep the fire from being stoked, so to speak.
*Excessive cursing to belittle/mock/insult/start a troll war (come now, young grasshoppers, we have far more creative language than that! ;))
I'm not an admin, but generally those are the types of threads where I see stuff altered/removed/locked. There have been a couple of occasions where things have seemed a bit iffy to me (mostly when it has to deal with one gym or another), but for the most part I agree on the whole. During Worlds time, the last thing the few at-home mods want to deal with is an all-out war. People are already dealing with twitter backlash during that time, we don't need the boards adding to it. Maybe because the same gyms seem to get the most heat, it can feel like the admins pick and choose how they want to address things. It's easier to want to address things when they affect someone you know personally..not that that's a bad thing, it's just human nature. I have no complaints, maybe because I'm a little old grandmother and in my day, we had to walk 5 miles up a hill, in the snow and bitter cold, with no shoes and barely a candle to light the way if we wanted to post a message on the town notice board..
I didn't mean that anybody should be "overriding" decisions, or that anybody should pm another admin saying "Why doesn't msteal like me!?!?!?!?!" I know that in the past if I questioned a decision, I would pm an admin and asked them about it. They've always been able to answer my question respectfully. It's helped me understand decisions more clearly.I can only speak for myself, but I wouldn't attempt to "override" a decision that another admin/moderator had made in my absence. It has nothing to do with bias or non-bias. Probably not a popular answer for this thread but I'll take my chances.
