hey folks,

First, i would like to explain why my blog in reference to employment referrals was deleted. It was deleted by Robert Dunn since i realized that i was in error for that post. Gordy had nothing to do with any blogs getting deleted, it was of my own volition. Gordy  has explained to me that folks should not delete their own blogs since it makes it look like that IP is deleting and censoring others.

I apologize for the confusion! Please let this go and move on from here!

Sincerely,

Robert Dunn

A couple of points:

  • I give registered users a lot of power to create their own content, but in doing so, I am unable to restrict an author's abilities to delete their own blog posts.  I would very much prefer if authors didn't delete their own blog posts, particularly after people have already commented on it, as doing so also deletes those comments and is, in effect, destroying the content (comments) created by others.
  • If someone feels like a thread or comments are particularly over-the-top, please email me rather than responding or taking actions into their own hands.
  • I asked Robert to post this explanation as I don't want anyone to think that such deletions are acceptable, or that I deleted the post for content-related reasons.
  • This should also serve as notice - please THINK before you post a blog entry or a comment.  If you have doubts about posting something, save it, reconsider it, and come back to it later.

Thanks, Robert, for the explanation and apology.
