I don’t want to take up the whole page pyramid quoting, so you’ll have to self-reference AF. I didn’t check post times so my apologies for saying you disappeared for a few days after posting.

First of all, I understand that only certain posts were in question, and that the majority of the thread was fine, but when you, a mod, come in and say “we have to do some reviewing” how does that not call the entire thread in question? If you had made any indication that it was only a few posts that were questionable, there would be no problem.

I’m not going to argue that some of the posts weren’t borderline, but how can you not see that posting “this needs to be reviewed” would be seen as calling the whole thread borderline, and not just a few posts. When a legit GD thread is made, and a few people troll in it, is that entire thread “up for review” or just those posts? If it was only a few posts here, why not just review those posts and not the whole thread?

On a more personal note, don’t blame me because I made a perfectly rational bumumption about the motive for your post. Blame yourself for making an unclear post.

Quite frankly, this whole progression from “needs to be reviewed” to “it seems ok but be thankful it’s only a review and not a ban” to “well your posts were all ok it was just a few other posts not the whole thread” just seems like a cop out. Nowhere in your is it clear that you were only looking at a few posts.

Now, we get to this gem

The issue has been resolved, and if a Mod chooses to make it known that a thread (or certain posts) are in a gray area, that’s not an accusation against the entire thread and all of the posters.

First of all, this ain’t the military, so the issue is resolved when we both say so. For now, that just isn’t the case.

Second, you just basically said that if a mod chooses to make it known that a thread is in a gray area it isn’t an accusation that the entire thread is in a gray area. What? Even if this made sense, as OP and main contributor to this thread, how could I possibly think that you saying “this needs to be reviewed” didn’t apply to me or my thread in some way?
