@mysticX we dont catch every post. and we arnt perfect. you are seeing it from the user end. its a hard job to keep up with this sites content. tbh i could care less i just do what the rules state and what the owner wants. if the rules wernt there, id let it all through.
I mean that's fair. As a user I know that there's probably at LEAST 100 new posts a day, if not more so that is a lot. Not to mention the amount of comments and trying to delete the cp links as quickly as possible.

If you have an issue with a post, just report it and mods will look it over. The worst that would happen is the report will be declined. Mods have a lot of stuff to keep track of, it's not just approving posts, not to mention every mod is a different person, which means there will always be different opinions on what breaks rules and what doesn't from person to person.
Completely understand there's more to it than just approving posts. I will say though, as a former admin of countless message boards in the early days of the internet, I do think that's BS IMO. I definitely feel like there should always be clear guidelines in place and things shouldn't depend on who is around at the time. I used to set rules and if my mods weren't sure they asked in private to see if a users post went against the rules, if they needed a warning, etc.
Of course, I'm not trying to start anything. I'm just stating it's probably why so many users can be confused on what's okay and what isn't, because in the case of my first example I wouldn't think for a second that would get deleted when there is other stuff that looks similar approved, and vice versa I'd understand why a post would be deleted like the one I pointed out that you deleted, but I'd also scratch my head why others like it were approved but mine wasn't, and that inconsistency can easily make users feel targeted, as I do think I saw someone called out DontTouchMyCogs thinking they were bullying them or whatever. (I don't remember if it was for upload reasons or not, tbh, just an example).
