Re: Site Moderation - Have your Say!
Here we go off topic again. This should have been posted under the thread "2 things I would love to see on this site," but could you please explain the Ugh?

Re: Site Moderation - Have your Say!
I also welcome the children here. Maybe we can educate a new generation of gardeners. I would rather see them here than living through their games, Twitch, and other such media. Also don't forget Area 51 is visible to the public, they just are unable to post.

I think she's worried about the numbering system messing up if a post is deleted. I'll delete yours as a test then restore it.
Test complete, it doesn't change the post numbers.

Re: Site Moderation - Have your Say!
The post numbers were individual to each thread yesterday, and today they are back to a count from everything. Sorry, I actually thought making adjustments to the format was part of moderating, and so I thought the post was not inaporopriate, nor off topic. Did I do this before? Is that why you said "here we go off topic again?"
I didn't know I should research older threads and put it only there. Very sorry, I'll try to remember to do that in the future.

Re: Site Moderation - Have your Say!
They are individual to each post and labeled twice, one is the main board number and the other is the post count in each thread. If you click the post count in each thread it copies it to your clipboard to paste automatically.

Re: Site Moderation - Have your Say!
No worries Marsha, all is good. I have been having one of those days where I am going in 20 directions. I hope that it is resolved. Things where you have an issue with how the forum in functioning would most likely be addressed quicker if they were posted at the bottom of the home page at Suggestions, Support and Tutorials. No big matter.

Re: Site Moderation - Have your Say!
OK Let me make sure I got this correct, hopefully folks don't think it's off topic!
If I want to post a link to a specific numbered post in a long running thread, and later on a post is deleted in that thread that is a numbered post before my linked post will it matter. Below are two examples.
Should I use the members post number or the threads post number
Feel free to move this if you want!

Re: Site Moderation - Have your Say!
You can use any post number to get to the same place. I added the continuous post numbers so members can refer someone to the 3rd post in the Site Moderation thread.
The post numbers aren't affected if a post gets deleted for some reason either, unless it's the deleted post of course.
Edited to add: You can hover the mouse over the thread count number and one click will add it to your clipboard.

Re: Site Moderation - Have your Say!
After reading the thread, this is all I could come up with that isn't already addressed in the rules. Did I miss something? Feel free to comment, we want to close this thread today. 2020 is here and it's time to start fresh without those threads popping up in everyone's feeds.
This thread and all the other rules/regs/tutorials/how to questions threads will be at the bottom of the home page in the Suggestions catagory for future reference. If you have other recommendations after today, feel free to bring it up in the suggestions section or send any Mod a PM. I know the topic isn't over and feel free to start a new thread in the Suggestions area, we'll address them one by one instead of a long thread with different topics.
Moderator Rules and Standards
1.Moderators will try their best to let users know why their comments or threads are getting removed/locked. (not necessary if it is a serial spammer/troll) If you blast someone-you're a troll, don't expect a PM.
2. Communicate with and support other moderators trying to reach an unbiased consensus before taking action.
3. Delete topics as a last resort! Give warnings and remind people they can edit their post.
4, If the whole topic is breaking the rules, delete it ASAP & send a PM.
5. At Mods discretion, offensive material will be deleted without warning.
6. If a few members are breaking the rules in a topic, give them a warning, inform them what rule they broke and have them edit the post. If they don't edit the post in a timely manner(10 minutes) delete that users post so the conversation can flow again without distractions.
***All deleted threads are kept as records and can be re-posted if we delete something by accident or a misunderstanding of the post/topic.

Re: Site Moderation - Have your Say!
I just want to say before this thread hits the land of unknown.
I just love the format and the way it is set up.
It allows me to express myself in a manner of which I have never been able to before.
Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart.
