Is cc0509 a mod? Why can he just delete my posts without noticing me of the reasons? I see nothing wrong with my posts, especially not compared with his. It's a total injustice, because when he does not know how to respond, he can just delete my stuff. It takes effort to reply to a troll like him. I can't stand the bullying here going around.

We are not Fed fans, but that does not make us 2nd-class citizens. You guys really should tell us what to do to avoid such situation. Please do something.

It's obvious from your sig that you haven't read the rules.

If you see nothing wrong with your posts, you might want to review the policies section if you want a long, and prosperous posting "career" here at TW. If you have problems with what (s)he posts, feel free to report them (listed in the FAQ in the same sub-forum). It looks like you're a new poster, but ignorance of the policies isn't an excuse

While it's said that we TW mods/admins are strongly fed biased (which I find pretty silly), that isn't the case. It seems that fans like to polarize anything possible when it comes to their favorite players.

Edit: Like I said above, feel 100% free to e-mail me if you have a problem or question/concern with any of the above.

I'm trying to get in touch with the VBB admin for other issues, I'll roll this request up to him once he gets back to me.

Hopefully never. It's just fine the way it is. I'm not a fan of websites that keep changing their look and/or features all the time. Tres annoying.

Thank you mods for banning the previous poster. Great job as he was derailing every thread he entered.

It seems one of the early patterns (red flags?) for posters who enjoy very short "careers" at TW is that they start creating dozens of threads as they join. Since their main agenda is to incite others (and to lower the standard of this forum) this (frequent thread creation) is something they cannot avoid.

The second "give-away" which we readers catch on fast is: new posters who have excellent knowledge of this forum, and of each poster, going back several years.

Another is that as they join they get into fights with everyone, and are clearly hitting back, which can only happen if they've been here a long time and have an axe to grind.

Thanks again, mods.

The problem is that we've got the "burden of proof" issue, and users creatively circumventing bans take a while to "prove out." Thanks for the kind word, though

I posted a poll 'Is Nadal the best No 2' in the General Players Section. Has this been removed ? If you find this objectionable, please let me know. I understand it may hurt the Nadal fan , but I think Nadal and Novak are both worthy contenders for that slot.

Yes, it has. It isn't always/just the OP that is objectionable, if the thread devolves into a troll/argument-filled trainwreck, sometimes it's better just to remove the thread instead of cleaning it up (have you ever seen a thread that is over 80% arguing? Yeah, those are the ones).

Thank you, but the thread had just about 5 responses and it was removed within couple of minutes of starting. There was only 1 trolll post in response. Just wondering.

Dire de Sire , if I may weigh in on this (from a non-fanboy, non-partisan): while a lot of threads/posts may appear on the surface to be "ernest" in tone, there's also a lot of smug and not-so-latent condescension in play as well, especially at the conclusion of a GS tourney (in this case, Wimbledon).

Whenever some fanboy's favorite fanboy pro (pick one: Fed, Rafa, Djoko) wins, you can be sure that the "in your face~!" fanboy crowd will come out of the woodwork and post more than their fair share of these "rub your nose in it" type threads which suddenly litter the Match Resuts/Pro Player sections .... some more blatant in tone than others. It's all about the 'dig' ..... Feds flaming Rafas, Rafas flamming Feds, Feds flamming Sampras .... Sampras? ... didn't he retire years ago? .... etc., etc., etc.

just my 2 cents.

You know I've deleted a post or two of yours over the years, DP, I can read between the lines

I am trying to post a message on the for sale section asking the seller about purchasing his items. My post keeps disappearing though. Could it be getting deleted or is something else going on?

I'd recommend reading the stickies in that sub forum, but the gist of it is: All posts in the FS/T are filtered, and need to be manually approved to deter spam.

[tennisfu]

Thanks for the quick response. I am confused though because when I type a message in the thread and hit "post quick reply" it does show up. If I refresh the page though, it disappears immediately.
