I thought I noticed that too but I wasn't sure so I didn't post it.Right2Carry wrote:What I have noticed is if someone makes a post while you are responding there will be a second screen that pops up after you hit submit telling you that someone has posted in the thread and you aren't responding to the latest or some verbiage like that. If you don't see that message and hit submit again I don't think your post will be submitted.Charles L.

I've seen some sites that send a PM or email when a post is moderated, something like "your post was deleted because...." I don't know if that can be implemented here, but it would be helpful. Some forum owners don't like to do it because the person replies back with all these "what I meant was....." and drags the moderator into a back-and-forth.
As for PM's to people who violate Forum Rules, we do send PM's to new Members, but not to people who have been here long enough to know how we operate. We also don't send PM's to repeat offenders. I have little sympathy for people who either don't read the Rules or who think they are above the Rules and I'm not going to increase Moderator workload to explain what a problem Member knows or should know. We delete posts only if they violate Forum Rules, not because we don't like what was posted or for some obscure reason.
