Did Craigsj quit the forum? All of the posts are gone. That is a big loss. If he got mad and left I wish the posts were still there.

Maybe his employer wasn't cool with the volunteer engineering going on here publicly.

Post reported to admin.
fechter said:Craigsj had edited all of his posts and replaced all content, with just a "---" .
He then PM'd me and asked me to remove his account. Since there was no content left in any of his posts, I deleted those too.
I got no explanation, but if somebody asks me to delete their account and there is no content, I will comply.
In the past, I've had people make these kinds of requests when there were intellectual properly issues involved. You can't patent something that is already publicly posted.

macribs said:neptronix is running a test version of the new forum software. So he must have a database backup, as his test forum does affect this forum. Check with him if all other options fails.
If you find out there is a lack of backups, you guys need to address backup situation and run frequent backup. It just makes life easier for everyone.
Dauntless said:That's been the thing, when I first got online people started telling me there's a big difference between getting the joke in person among friends and just reading it from a stranger online.

RIPPERTON said:I should have started reporting vitriolic posts as soon as they started ie NutSpecial saying "I think you might be full of it" on page 1Dauntless said:That better have been a joke.
You dont insult someone just because you dont understand what they are saying.
m4k3r said:That's because i think 60% of a conversation is body language, 20% tone of voice and 20% is what is actually said. When conversating online people are missing about 80% of the conversation. That's just my uneducated guess!
John in CR said:Back to the topic, the nearly blank posts shouldn't have been deleted as the content would have still been viewable (viewable isn't a word???...this software has the worst spell-checker ever) by looking at the edits. I really wanted to go back and fully review some of that content at a later date to gain a full understanding.
