Sometimes the Mods (no paticular one) don't make since.

Someone posted an image of a car crash, and they slipped up and forgot to include the image warning in the title.

So the MOD (all of you) delete the image and replaces it with a warning. This just dosen't make since. The guy was just sharing an image with all of us and instead of the MOD doing the right thing, editing the thread title adding the appropriate image warning, he makes things worse.

Then he (all of you MODS) delete any post complaining about the image deletion, claiming that we are derailing the thread. WHAT? He derailed the thread when he deleted the image.

All I can say is it ain't helping at all. So what if he had to do a little itty bit of work. I think it would have been a much better solution to just edit the title and not piss off everyone.

You don't need to beat the crap out of the guy that made a little mistake and the people that complain about the deletion. JUST FIX THE ERROR.

Edit the thread title with the appropriate image warning. We are not allowed to edit the titles, only you can edit the title.

Again, this is not against any one Mod. It's against the policy of deleting the images instead of really fixing the error.

I'm requesting that the people that own this, put out new instructions that the MOD's try to come up with intelligent solutions instead of Bullying the poor people who just want to share information and those of us that have legitmate complaints.

These "errors" aren't accidental omissions. These are people who have been here long enough to know the rules, which are posted at the top of every forum listing. The consequences are clearly posted in the same place.

If we coddle the offenders, they will not bother to check image sizes before posting.

So sorry, no.
