support and undersatnding is appreciated moonwalker!

We DO work very hard behind the scenes, and our integrity as individual truthseekers and as team players in service to members on this forum is enourmous.....

I would just like to clarify peoples general concerns about 'lost' threads....

Admin has gone through the Moderator logs for the last 3 days to get to the bottom of this issue regarding missing posts....

The logs show that a moderator has been merging quite a few threads. Now, the standard practice that the Mods have been using in this situation is to PM the OP of each original thread to inform them that their thread is being merged with another, and the location/title of the new thread.

However, it would be a logistical nightmare[along with the time involved] for the Mod responsible in merging the threads to PM every single poster in the threads concerned.

A perfect example was the recent[incorrect] report of a US warplance being brought down in Iran. Four threads sprange up in various parts of the forum, each with a substantial amount of posts. All four threads were merged & the OP PM'd, however, members involved in the threads STILL insisted that their thread/post had been deleted till the '3 click process' to find their posts was explained:

3 Click Process

* Click #1: Member goes to their OWN Bio page
* Click #2: Member clicks on 'show all statistics'
* Click #3: Member clicks on 'find all posts'

Hopefully this will explain the recent cries of 'why has my post/thread been deleted?' queries

As Bill publicly stated earlier, Simon DID remove his own thread..and as a result individual posts of great value were lost. THIS WAS A TERRIBLE MISTAKE! I was personally gutted to find this out, as I DID react harshly to the OP of this thread in 'reaction' to what I thought was yet another 'mod bashing ' opportunity.... I apologise now for being wrong on that particular factor.

I hope that from this point forth, we can all start to build bridges again in Avalon and pull together in one big UNITED way!!

peace and light to all
