question for the mods - Diesel Forum

freddyfast9 · 07-07-2005, 01:00 AM

I just wanted to know if I am jumping the gun on my posts by thinking they are deleted when perhaps they are not. Do they get reviewed first then get posted because that would explain why I think they get zapped either that or I might need to lay off the jim beam.

You've had several posts since July 1, and none have been deleted. And no, your posts are not previewed by a mod or software before they are posted.

You've probably figured it out already. If you use the "back" button instead of the "jump" button after you post, you may need to refresh the screen in your browser to let your computer see the latest version of the website.

I like to use the "back" button to maintain my place in the forum index. But if I reply to a post then use the back button to get back to where I was in the index, that thread is no longer where it was in the index - it's moved to the top of the index.

I just didn't want to get zapped for mentioning different products that worked for me I read that it's not allowed to post about ATS on a post that was started about let's say for example the BTS and vice versa so I read on and found that you can't post for a cause and had hoped that my posts didn't cross either guideline so I then figured that maybe the posts had to be taken off and approved I understand now that the back button is not an option and once again will take any stoning in town square that I have coming on this one.

Just read the rules at the top of each forum and follow them and you will be fine.

Civil discussion is always encourgaged but flaming, trolling, and being obnoxious in general causes the mods emails to lightup. That is when things get moderated. Mentioning ATS in BTS threads is ok if it is done civilly without trying to provoke a flame war. Mentioning products that work for you is ok without trying to make a buck off of them (aka, posting "Hey! I got a straight pipe kit to sell that will make ya 400+ HP and 200+ Torque!").
