Members and Threads Getting Deleted
« on: March 17, 2019, 11:47:04 PM »
Hi everyone, somebody asked why some members and threads/posts get deleted from this forum.

Here is why:

1. Sometimes the psychics complain about member posts and make legal threats. They don't have any legal grounds for lawsuits, but some of them make a lot of money and can afford to throw money away on attorneys. I personally think that is dumb because it's illegal to threaten people, especially when you do not have any intention of filing any claim. Secondly, the psychics on this site get a lot of free advertising, so deleting their threads and reviews only hurts themselves. There will always be good and bad reviews of any business.

2. Some posts get deleted because I remove members for creating multiple accounts and deceiving the users, so when I delete them, all of their posts get deleted as well.

3. Others get deleted because they get too many complaints from other members for trolling the forum, so I delete them and their posts.

4. Sometimes members ask to be deleted. I delete their posts when they leave.


Thanks,
Admin

Thank You for the explanation. I'm just going to say it.... this post leads me to assume Mattie asked for her own thread to be taken down?   What do you all think?

I had the same thought.

Admin, is it possible for you to confirm?

I had the same thought but at the same time, who was the person that started the thread? If they no longer wanted to be a member, then from what admin is saying, the thread gets deleted.

He didn't say that. He said their posts get deleted, not the thread. The thread is deleted if the psychic makes issues about having too many bad reviews apparently.

Hmm..she had like 5 negative (and honest) reviews amidst 97% positive reviews.

That's probably irrelevant since it was the reader who requested to have the thread about them removed.

If the person that got deleted created the thread, then presumbly the whole thread would poof. This is all guessing though. Who knows what happened.

its clear mattie asked for it to be removed. She's been lurking for a while now. Now we can't even leave critical reviews for readers now...sigh

I agree she likely asked for it to be removed. I'm unsure why though. She works well for 95% of the people and shes absolutely astounding. Everyone knows that not every psychic is 100%, but she seems pretty damn close compared to most. Shes such a lovely person <3 I really respect Mattie

And Shelly's thread was deleted twice (once a couple of months ago and again last week or so). It might be her lol.

I mean jeez - how much more biz can she want?  its not like you can ever get in her damn queue as it is... eyeroll, eyeroll, eyeroll - that actually makes me want to read with her less if thats true - just sayin'....  AN honest reader who has a few negatives doesnt bother me that much 0- no human is perfect!  Someone taking our right away to give honest opinions and share our views... pisses me off!

Eh. From a business point of view, I could see the logic behind it. If it could be helped, even if I were the greatest psychic in the world, I'd be terrified of an open forum talking about me at all. Look at how some users here bash and lie just to ruin someones reputation. Some lie out of spite, say hurtful things about the reader, make up stories, etc. I can fully understand why they'd want their reviews to be in a controlled environment, and I honestly dont think we can fault them for that. It's their business. It's how they make a living. Every business, somewhere along the line, gets at least a few lunatics perceiving even the best service (let's say a restaraunt), as crappy, and will look for things to hate. You see this sort of thing all the time here. Keeping reviews in a controlled environment, would be better for business, or at the very least, "safer", for the reader, than an open forum where crazy people can post whatever negative lies (for example) that they want. It sucks, but I mean, hey. Youd want your business to do well right? And even though forums can help their business (as you've seen with Mattie), even one douchebag, lying, making things up to "get back" at a reader, could ruin their entire business. You've seen it first-hand here. Maybe not ruining business completely, but pages bashing very talented and very real psychics, just because some crazy person decided to make up stories because they were salty.

We are losing so many valuable threads.  Is it possible to just remove the individuals who are causing all the drama?  🤞

I think the issue is the repetitiveness. It's totally fine to leave a review but to continually attack others for leaving a positive review is the issue. People are free to leave their opinion but then some mock and harass others who disagree. It is concerning how obsessive certain users are about readers they disagree with.
