On DB.com.. mods have free reign. They are not paid. They are given a focus. Well.. that is my take on it anyway. They will edit.. or delete.. what you post. My thought on it is that when you get edited.. or deleted.. you question what you are posting. Editing.. or deleting.. is a pretty good sign.. they don't like it. I don't know that they really owe you an explanation.
"Is it not part of a mods duty to help the users out in answering questions and concerns related to a website?"
Well.. kinda. The rule of thumb as I understand it is that if something "bad" happens.. you send a email to Virginia. She is a Busy Person. You can call into the office also.. the number is listed. I won't presume to know whether she will respond or not. DB mods are here mainly to ensure "safety". Virginia is the "End All".
"This is now the fourth post I have created specifically asking what part of the TOS and board policies I have broken to justify being edited and having posts deleted."
So.. the 3rd one.. did not help you understand that you should maybe rethink things a bit? Trust me.. after my 1st delete.. or edit.. I am going to be thinking about what I said.
"It has become my feeling that I have been singled out in many cases by you."
Well.. if you keep doing the same thing.. over and over.. and you keep getting the same result.. I am going to assume YOU are to blame.
"Is a forum not typically set up for users to help each other?"
Sure. But if you keep getting edited.. and deleted.. what is motivating you to post?
To me it is that you want to be right. Your way works.
To be more clear it is an emotional response.
Your help will be "better" than what they might receive.
My suggestion would be to become more creative.
I am NOT a mod.. nor do I ever hope to be.
I am just someone who questions your motives some. And believes in the words that can be written "here".
It really becomes your choice on if you are stuck in a cycle or not.
Relax Eat Think Act normal React.. Smartly. Do something different. Emulate. Do Work.
