At the end of bgary's thread in the general drum chat forum, drum chick said that we managed to chase him/her off the site. How does she know that? Do disgruntled members send the administrators a nasty message? Or was she just inferring that bgary left because he/she didn't respond to the later posts.

Why do psychics have to ask you your name? And how come you never heard of a psychic winning the lottery?

Thanks for the replies.
I saw a hint somewhere that a member treated SticksWizzard badly the other day and that a whole thread was removed as a result. I think it's awesome that there are moderators/administrators who actually enforce rules of civility. That makes drum chat better than real life!
I caught wind today that is was an accident by su_admin. I think he meant to just delete the offending posts and deleted the thread instead. We wouldn't normally delete a whole thread because of one person's negative comments.
Otherwise, yes Sling, we try our best to enforce positivity and respect here. I think it helps keep Drum Chat a very classy forum. I think that's why it's grown so much too. It's refreshing to not have to deal with all the negativity, flaming and so on that you find in other forums.
Slingerland, because this is an internet forum, we can't look at each other and see when someone is having a bad day. If they come in here in a sensitive mood, something might set them off, and they blame it on the forum. Not much we can do about it. Others just want to come in here and vent hostility, and that is not tolerated, so they are asked politely to take it down a notch. If they don't comply, they get a more stern warning. Not listening to that warning has consequences. Most of the time, though, everything runs very smoothly, because the people who like to hang out here like the civility. If we cross the line with someone, we try to apologize, and do better next time.
Good place this Drum Chat!

And considering DC's come a lo-o-ong way as a drummer, you'll never know what hit ya!
P.S.: DC, you never fail to surprise me with your avs!
For my part, I come here to relax and chat with my brother and sister drummers. There have been a couple of occasions that I've been a bit more sarcastic than I should--or made a comment that was out of line--and one embarrassing occasion when I beat up on myself over a major decision (and let some of it spill into the shoutbox). Sometimes drummer and the other moderators caught me when I tripped up. Sometimes I sensed it myself. Either way, when I realized what I did wrong, I immediately worked to correct it with the person or persons affected. The support I received from those who were affected not only smoothed the ruffled feathers, but also deepened our relationships.
But as PB says, you can't predict what will--or won't--upset anybody. My rule of thumb is if you can't say it in front of your mother, don't post it in a forum! As a former radio colleague of mine (now deceased) used to say, "You can disagree without being disagreeable."
keep the beat goin' ... Don't keep it to yourself!
