SW, is a post bustible when the poster spells out where a good bj game is? If so, then your postbuster guidelines should spell that out, i.e., postbuster may bust a post which tells players where good bj games are located.
Here's what had happened. A newcomer asked where he could practice what he had learned from Grosjeans' book. A reply to his question was: "try AC Caesars' party pit...New dealers seem to be more FLASHER & SLOPPIER" That post was busted because someone COMPLAINED & wrote: "Please Bust. (nt) (29) -- Joe bald-headed grandma -- 22 June 02, 12:53 p.m. "
To be fair to everyone, bj21.com should spell out its posting policy regarding to the disclosure of "good games" such as the announcement of the AC Caesars' party pit.
Postbusters are not supposed to delete a post merely because it discloses a good game. A post that names a dealer is a different animal if naming that dealer could get him or her fired. The post in question could have been deleted for naming a specific dealer, or it could have been deleted by the person who posted it. If it did not name a dealer, it should not have been deleted by a postbuster.
We keep postbuster deletions in Trash for 48 hours, and that post is not in Trash, so if it was deleted by a postbuster it was done more than 48 hours ago. We could search the logs to find out how it was deleted, but we cannot bring it back to read it to figure out if it should have been deleted.
In the future if you think a post has been deleted improperly, please say something right away so that we can examine it before it disappears from Trash.
