There has been a major difference in terms of the leniance of the mods from last year to this year. Its quite sad, as I saw atleast 2 of Hare’s comments dissapear within seconds of being posted! Its deffinetly not as enjoyable as last years :/

I think that its important to ensure that this wasn’t just a one off incident. its quite possible that at the time of posting, the respective moderator felt that F1 was more appropriate than non-f1 [i.e. at the beginning of a session its fair to say off topic is more likely to be allowed than in the middle of it].

I would suggest that you give the f1live feature another try. If you still feel that its policies prevent you from enjoying your time using it then a second post here might be appropriate – with details of everything that got deleted. If there are then no changes, then you may be right to suggest that the service isn’t one you enjoy using.

I don’t actually use the live blog because of these reason (footnote1), firstly I go way way off topic really easily (as evidence by my comments in articles) and secondly because its merely a regurgitation of the action on screen… which I feel I can discuss the next day in the comments section. The “doesn’t matter how late I am to the party” is a philosophy I apply to most of my life, its why I don’t buy games on launch day (well apart from KillZone 3, but you know, thats KillZone 3 man!)… its also the reason I’ve not proposed to my girlfriend of 9 years :D

While I understand its upsetting having your comment deleted (its your baby after all) you really need to take a step back Hare and rethink why it was deleted in the first place, did it have any reference to F1 and the action at all?, if you suddenly stated “I LIKE THE BOOK WATER FOR ELEPHANTS” on the live blog I’d question whether your paying attention or maybe your my grandmother.

You also make a mention of the debate in real life with friends and what not, ermmm I don’t know anyone that discusses films during F1 (apart from my grandmother), in my household and with my friends, anybody that speaks about anything not F1 during a race is very quickly scorned and kicked out for heresy… same applies to the liveblog I guess.

There has been no change in this respect since last year. Same policy, different system

Interesting, so I take it this year you have a faster system in place for moderating the liveblog, kudos, live moderation is pretty rough.

“footnote1″ I don’t mean that as in i’m a rebel, I don’t use liveblog because of my super power of off topic tangent chatting ability, I’d rather not give Keith and the mods a headache.

I have to agree with Hare to a certain point. Some of the new moderators (I believe they are new, or they simply changed nickname) seem to mod more agressively than last year. I’m unsure if the directives they were given were a bit more precise on what is acceptable and what isn’t, or if some mods simply give a little less leeway.

The way the new chat works does feel a lot more structured and I think it discourages the social aspect a bit.
This is just a guess, but I expect than during a single event, a lot less messages get posted to the chat this year than we’ve seen in the past. Whether that’s an improvement or not is debatable, maybe we are just cutting out the spam!
