Anyway, if you find that my posts in general are useless, irrelevant or break the rules in any other way, please let me know with a PM or another kind of warning....
I did actually report you myself for being drop dead lovely and likely to induce erratic heart beats.
Ehm.. Just now I happened to read this thread. You mentioned me, and I think you were referring to my daughter's clumsy attempt to post her recording of Schumann as a present to me. I pleaded Nils to delete her insensate posts, and made a public apologize for the annoyance. Anyway, if you find that my posts in general are useless, irrelevant or break the rules in any other way, please let me know with a PM or another kind of warning....Thank youMargherita
I feel like crying while reading ur post. I feel embarrased and ashamed for leaving that previous post go unmodified. I was hoping it was nothing more than a glitch and thankfully it was not a person who hacked into ur account nor a spammer. I'm more of a trouble than helper nowadays... JL
Believe me, your are completely forgiven!!! You did nothing wrong, it was just a misunderstandig, and you had the right to report that inappropriate behaviour, even if it was a silly incident. And please, don't be so harsh with yourself!!!! We all like you Margherita
I thought there might be another hoaxer around once recently. They must be kind of burnt out by now. What else are they going to do?
How recently? The past few days? If so we might be suspecting the same person. I ususally think that Hoaxers and spammers make really short posts and sometimes stupid and pointless to the topic. I know you guys must ahve first htought I was a spammer when I posted so much. I wasn't aware of the forum rules at the time. JL
Lately in the Audition room I've noticed people being accused of stealing other pianist's recordings and whatnot. I really think people need to stop doing this. I mean yes, there have been hoaxers in the past, but I don't see why someone should be accused of plagiarism just because they posted a good recording without a video.
I too did notice there is a lot of finger pointing going on in the Audition Room. It seems there are several discussions taking place that originated in other forums. This has gone even so far as to be discussing the moderating actions on other those said forums.
Indeed, and sometimes I get a gut feeling they might be deleted by Nils because earlier in the Miscellaneous board there was a topic about a 'rant about PW and a question about modeators here'. That topic was deleted, for some reason.
I believe liszt85 was reported by hakki, therefore making nils delete the topic. I'm not 100% sure though, I just thought I read somewhere that hakki was going to report him. I could be wrong though.
I don't remember. I think it was the person asking about hornswagglers.
So as soon as someone presses the 'report to moderator' button, does that mean instant deletion of topic, no matter how inappropriate? I found that topic to be quite interesting and had been following it blow by blow.
No, a report does not mean instant deletion. Though, since it was deleted, Nils must have found something wrong with it. Anyhow, I stopped reading it after I responded, which was quite early in the thread, so I can't say whether there was a good reason for it's destruction.

I think Nils should create a thread for every deleted topic indicating it's deletion i.e. similar to when he moves topics. Then we have a different suspect. But with the user having posted for a month I highly doubt she/he is a hoaxer/spammer after all. JL
I agree with you. I find posts disappearing with no warning whatsoever here. It isn't a very nice experience, to say the least. The PW thread was deleted in its entirety though many people told me via PM that they thought what I said about it was accurate. Nils probably has contact with some of the "powerful" people at PW. I see no other reason for him to have done so. In any case, after being here for sometime, I realize that no forum is perfect. PW has its issues with authoritarian behavior from the mods and other influential members there, pianostreet has an issue with random deletions of posts as and when the moderator feels like doing so, without offering an explanation. On PW, a post deleted would be replaced by a reason from the mod (not true with the ban though, they didn't offer me a proper explanation when I requested them for one. I bet they didn't have a very good reason). I expect this post to be gone by tomorrow. If not, Nils probably didn't read it. I don't know why he deletes anything that has to do with PW. I posted that in the appropriate forum too (anything but piano).
One easy solution.... Just post a new "what do you think of Piano World" thread up in Anything But. Nils may have deleted it if it was in the wrong category, although he usually just moves them. I would guess he didn't think there was anything of value going on in the thread though.
I'm not a big fan of when Nils deletes a topic. I wish there was a thread graveyard where you could see if a thread got deleted, visible at least in title. Or if Nils had his own list somewhere of threads that were deleted.
Move on guys.
I agree.It's not the end of the world.
I'm just speaking out my thoughts aloud.
I understand that, and I wasn't trying to offend you. I was just saying that its not that big of deal. Nils deletes topics sometimes, and if people want to know why it was deleted, then they should message him about it. He'll probably give a good answer.
