Hello Pyro, your latest comment deletion request on Gog’s wall. Whilst your request was quite harmless, I have made a new staff rule to instruct the staff team not to accept similar requests in the future.

8. If a user requests for you to delete a comment or a chain of comments please only do so if the comments in question go against the Rules and Guidelines or are “delete” comments. While some requests to remove comments from a page may seem reasonable, the staff team’s ability to delete comments could lead to some users taking advantage of the ability and constantly requesting that particular comments that don’t go against the Rules and Guidelines be removed just because they dislike them.
 * To be clear staff members are allowed to delete their own comments if they desire to, but this ability shouldn’t be taken for granted.
 * This guideline only applies to Discussion Mods, Superordinates, General Moderators, Admins and Bureaucrats.

As the guideline states while some general requests to remove comments may sound reasonable, if other users began to make similar requests to the Discussion Mods and Admins it could cause some users to try and take advantage of this ability by frequently requesting that ‘acceptable’ comments be deleted just because they dislike or disagree with them so that’s why I have created said rule.

To be absolutely clear this message is NOT a Warning, I just wanted to talk to you about your request, the consequences of other users asking for similar yet more concerning requests and the introduction of this new staff guideline as a result of the request.

Kind Regards

Big
