Perhaps the problem is that "The philosophy forum" is a bit of a misnomer. Perhaps you could rename it : "The subset of philosophy that allows for the deletion of posts based on arbitrary judgement and a hidden agenda forum." I know it is a bit of a mouthful, but at least you would avoid the risk of being done for false advertising. It could also be a point of difference between this forum and other philosophy forums. — A Seagull
What do you suppose that "hidden agenda" is? Or is it too well hidden for you to know? — Metaphysician Undercover
I don't know what it is, or even if indeed there is one; but I am hoping to find out. — A Seagull

No, I actually don't think I'm fit to be a moderator, but I would have other people to propose: Mariner, Thorongil, yourself, John and a few more! I'd aim for a mix between theist/atheist, progressive/conservative, just to make everything fair. — Agustino
It matters to me because I am a philosopher. I like to understand things. Further I do not accept things at face value, I prefer to look beneath the façade. — A Seagull
You have that wrong, I'm all for a strong moderating team, but not for unnecessary interventions. — Agustino
I don't think I've ever had any of my posts deleted (I'm a good boy!), but I wonder if and when posts get removed, is there any kind of notification or way to see that this has happened? — VagabondSpectre

No, there's no notification. If there was an option for automatic notification, then we'd consider doing that, but we don't have that option. — Sapientia
Maybe it's rare enough the mods could just have a policy of sending the deletee a PM. — Srap Tasmaner
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
