Default A Post Deleted in the WPT Forum

Paul Phillips (TV poker player) is complaining that a thread he started in the WPT forum about the WSOP Tournament of Champions was deleted. I certainly did not delete it intentionally.

Is there any record of the deletion? Is it possible to tell if I somehow delted the thread accidentally?

Link to complaint thread.

I deleted it. He put a nearly unintelligeble thread whining and threatening that his first deleted post would be his last. I deleted it instinctively. Perhaps it was a mistake, but it's too late now.

For the record, this is an e-mail exchange between me and Paul.

My e-mail to Paul:

I am unaware of any deleted thread in that forum started by you. Other than me, only a user labeled as an administrator could take action. That's basically just Mat Sklansky.


Paul's response to me:

I guess my post about the TOC was a little too hot for him to handle. It
doesn't matter what happens now, as I always said if any of my posts was
ever deleted from 2+2 I would be done with the site. I went out of my
way to reiterate that point in the very post that started the now
vanished thread, so it's not like he can plead ignorance about it.

Lame. Glad it wasn't you though, thanks for letting me know.

If I made a mistake, let Mason know and he'll address it.

While I agree that we should try to make the forum a friendly place for tv poker celebrities, I don't think a guy like paul phillips making threats accomplishes this goal any easier.

This is confusing to me. Was the original post about the TOC the one that included all the whining and threats? Because I now see another one complaining about how his other post was deleted, etc.

I guess my confusion comes mostly from the fact that the other thread was about the TOC. That doesn't seem to fit in with your description. I didn't see it, though, so my guess is there was something about it that was unreasonable.

I didn't read the thread. I remember clicking on it and seeing a long post by Paul to start off. I wasn't in the mood to read what I assumed was Paul's criticism of allowing Hellmuth into the WSOP TOC despite not meeting the qualifications.

So, I can't comment on whether you made a mistake or not. I don't know the content of the thread.

In all honesty, I only remember a couple things. He started off by saying the site sucked, that Dynasty sucked because he was bragging about banning people, and that if any of his posts were ever deleted, he would never post again. The immediate responses were flames of some sort, and I deleted the thread. If it wasn't paul phillips, and if it wasn't a possibility that paul phillips is actually important to the forums on some level, I would not even be involved in this discussion.

The situation has been escalated by Mason's decision to ban him. I had nothing to do with that, but Mason thinks that Paul has consistently misbehaved.

I will say this: reprinting a private message on the boards is a low thing for anyone to do.

At this point, there is nothing left to be done. People are blaming paul's banning by the owner of this website on a lack of proper moderation. It's just not the case.
