System Down ???

[MARK858]

Having just read the announcement from Scotty P may I just add my support to him that it was totally the correct action to take in my opinion.

Mark858,

Just to let you know, others noticed/reported it too.
So we can't pin ALL the blame on you (just most of it!)

I assumed they would have but my shoulders are broad (too broad so my doctor says) so I thought I might as well take the stick to save anyone else getting it

Happy posting

...and hairy too (judging from your picture)!

Yeah, and that's on a good day

Biff, did the before mentioned moderators name begin with an A by any chance?

No.

Here's the thread.

I replied and suggested the OP use the SUMIFS function and the !#$%^& mod deleted the post.

If that sort of "over-moderation" is typical at that site then I'll stay away.

In all fairness, he is the new mod on the block. Most of the older, more expereinced mods left en masse and they are still recruiting/ training/ seasoning new ones. By chance, you were just one of the bones on which he is learnging to sharpen his teeth .

most of the mods there would have done the same though.

I hate to hijack this thread by going completely off topic but...

I'm not sure how to interpret that. Are the mods there "over zealous" or was I out of line?

All I did was ANSWER the question. The mod didn't like the thread title so he keeps others from contributing possible solutions and deletes the reply that does answer the question?

Seems extremely over bearing and petty to me.

Sorry, I just meant that the fact Zbor is new isn't really relevant, in my opinion.

The rules at EF tend to be rigidly adhered to by most of the moderating team (past and present) although deleting threads is generally rare or used to be at any rate - some of the stuff going on recently has been ridiculous though.

In the interests of full disclosure, I should point out that I used to be a moderator there and am not particularly unbiased where EF is concerned.
