Who is the administrator and why is it impossible to get in touch with them?!

[mjem]

???

[bonniebird]

its not me

[StraferJack]

Because he is one guy doing this for free and might be busy doing other stuff?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I'm Administracus.

[the-e-dealer]

Just report a page he will be in touch

[Alex K]

Who is God and why is it impossible to get in touch with Her?!

[edhistory]

Administrator's a pretty nice girl

But she doesn't have a lot to say

Administrator's a pretty nice girl

But she changes from day to day

[intexasatthe moment]

mjem if you go to the "About the Forum " section there's a thread where people post questions to Admin .

[Michael Palaeologus]

But, as SJ says, Admin set this up for free and runs is it for free, so, be nice.

[the-e-dealer]

You are the E-dealer

No Im not A HANDLE I am free man.

Why did you resign?

By hook or by crook we will find out

Mwahhahahaha

[mashcov]

Yes I too would like to know who this administrator is and why my thread was deleted.

If they do not make themselves known to me with an explanation I will have to investigate further.

[mjem]

Thank you everyone :)

mashcov you may be confusing the Administrator with a Moderator.

Whilst the Administrator has final say on content (as he created, maintains and pays for the site), the majority of the work nourishing this happy community resource is done by Moderators.

These are a group of generous, tireless and dedicated volunteers who set themselves the not unreasonable target of doing what's best for the community.

That means that certain types of behaviour are considered unacceptable, and it may be that your previously liberal use of ALL CAPITALS and aggressive use of the 'C' word means you haven't worked out where those boundaries lie.

That may account for your deleted thread, any 'investigations' you choose to indulge in will teach you nothing more than that ;-)

I'm sure he's quaking in his boots.

As others have said (but you apparently chose to ignore), he's just a guy doing this for free, he owes you zilch.

In general the moderators do so with a very light touch - posts are removed which are offensive or may be deemed libellous or sub-judice, threads are removed when they are seen as being off-topic (i.e. not really to do with ED), threads are blocked/ removed (mainly blocked) when a similar thread is already alive, threads are shifted to other boards when they are not appropriate for the board they have been posted on (typically this covers ads and announcements of events etc. on this board). Spam advertising is also removed.

Sometimes the moderators do think a thread is off topic when others (particularly the OP) don't - and they have been known to revise their decisions, but in general, as I said, they offer a very light touch.

Often, I guess, their actions are triggered by reports by other readers, but they won't remove posts/ threads (if they meet other criteria) simply because they, or someone else, disagrees with them, at least in my experience.

I'm the Administrator, I suggest sending me a Private Messsge therefore making the impossible possible.

[the-e-dealer]

I'm very keen to know how you plan to investigate further though.

Are you going to use a laser beam to turn yourself in to particles, then travel the world wide web seeking answers?

Cool.

[red devil]

Maybe mashcov has found out Admin's achilles heel, apparently if you wave a tin of Fois Gras at Admin he turns into a blubbering wreck, bit like Superman and Kryptonite...
