I’ve had MULTIPLE discussions and moods taken down for seemingly no reason in the past 6-12 months. I’ve never received a warning or a ban during that time.
This begs two questions
A ) what are they being deleted for
B ) who is deleting them
It should be clear when a moderating action is taken against a post/person that these two factors are made clear to the person who is being impacted.
It is very off putting to use this platform currently with the fact that many people feel like their content is going to be deleted for personal reasons, opposed to what they are posting being against the rules. Even in cases where content breaks the rules, surely it’s beneficial to point out that rules have been broken so that users can learn not to repeat such behaviour.
This was common practice of OLDCP of all platforms, so it’s not like there’s no precedent for this to be enforced.

Tbh it'd be cool if you got a notification saying "Your post X has been removed. Reason: Y"
it would tie up loose ends, but I assume your post was removed recently for showing Damen shirtless, even tho it's not technically nudity.

i agree that you should've been told why your post was deleted. i'm pretty sure it was because damen was shirtless and i think it was deleted due to the assumption of it being against the rules but i'm not fully sure. it was deleted before everyone could give their input on the matter, though. i honestly saw no issue with it.
You'll never silence my voice, no, I won't go.

I wasn’t certain if it was appropriate so I asked someone if they thought it should be taken down and they said yes. So I took it down. Then today Damen mailed me asking why I took it down and I explained that I wasn’t certain if it was appropriate or not considering the amount of new very young users in the community. And so he told me to leave it down.
Hope this clears things up. Posts do not get taken down for personal reasons. I didn’t look at the post and thing Oh, Jdutr made this post, I’m going to take it down because he doesn’t like me. And a number of your previous moods were removed because they were disrespectful towards community members. We don’t always hand out warnings for everything because taking the mood down is like a warning in itself. But we can start being harsher on that if it helps you.

You literally liked my post then took it down anyway. Without letting me know a reason why.
If admins are liking posts and taking them down at the same time then surely there’s something more at play than the content of the post.
Not sure how a semi topless man is breaking the rules.

It’s not anything more complex than that. There’s no forums staff plot to censor you.

Literally told you I asked someone if they thought it was inappropriate and they said yes. And as I said there are a NUMBER of very young users now in the community, I wasn’t certain at first if it should have been taken down but then Damen said to leave it down after I explained my actions to him.

How am I supposed to know if there is a plot to censor me or not if nothing is explained? That’s the point of this post
The same admin that took my post down liked the post but found a random person to tell them to remove it anyway. Surely you can see this is contradictory. the post was then put back up then taken back down by the same admin within an hour.

Alright, your concerns have been taken into account. I believe the original purpose of this discussion is currently being smeared by personal opinions, and therefore, I will be locking this discussion to prevent drama.
If you have any further issues, especially regarding staff, I would take all of your concerns to Damen himself, he would be the best resort to go to with anything regarding the DSGHQ staff.
Another fantastic resource available to all users would be to address any and all issues/inquires using our “Help” tab. You can address any issues/concerns here… https://forums.damenspike.com/tickets. Thanks!
