Have you tried replying to the message first?
Not sure what you’re trying to accomplish here aside from trying to get other people to gang up on the moderator.
Several of my posts have been flagged/deleted in the past but if I have an issue, I directly message the moderator instead of ranting on the forums and attacking the mod.
Just doesn’t seem very productive. Nor does it foster community spirit. Maybe you should try to contact the mod directly first? Just a thought.

And an obvious thought. Unfortunately, though, it’s also one that requires some intelligence, perceptiveness and sensitivity, so it’s going to fall on stony ground, in this context, I’m afraid. Rrram2 is too busy telling everyone what an expert, master trader he is and that he has a $250,000 account and that “stop-losses are for losers”, to take it on board. 
This thread won’t last long, anyway (which is a shame in a way, since it exposes a reality about him to the newbie members he’s targeting as future traffic for the website-promotion in his profile).

Mate, i’ve had these as well
i can tell you you don’t get anywhere doing this.
i’ve had very frank discussions with @Pipstradamus he’s a cool bloke
i’ve found that @Penelopip is new and is still perhaps going through a (let’s call it) Teething process on this site fitting in and all.
mate, if you are not sure, ask pipstradamus, approach him respectfully, not like this , talk straight to him , tell him your thoughts and (my experience with him has been) he will be straight with you and explain it… ok
give that a try
you might also find that you would be better off PMing Penelopip
give that a try and see how you go.
i’ve also tried posting things on the community for all to see
there is a time and a place for that , and i have found that sometimes it’s counter productive to post it here, some things should be done in the background for the sake of the future newbies that will read this, because after a while the site will just be full of crap
so give it a go ok… see how you go
Has it been days since you last heard from the mod in question? You seem like you’re talking to the mods yet you’re posting it here for everyone to see. This sounds like a very negative post that doesn’t help anyone.
100%!
So if I were to post this:
“In fact the latest person who has requested my help is doing so at a discounted rate”.
Having posted the day before:
“Maybe when I reach your level Martin I would feel comfortable charging 300 an hiur…but till then I am comfortable with what I offer”
The poster’s profile says “Forex Mentor providing traders with the needed guidance to acheive their goals” ( the link to the blog is down, also i before e except after c, very professional).
Bottom line - first two word of rrr’s thread title applies.
rrr, that’s what you get for offering a little help to an old timer ( I’m guessing) 
seriously some people have some deep issues.
you do realise that your desperate need for attention and approval/recognition is endangering a young womans job, do you?
do you think penelopip is here because she likes to mess with special cases lile you?
get a grip of your own brain and simply do whats been said. you dont need to be part of this, it is not your job unlike for some other people who pay their rent or the school for her kids with it.
this online crapping of people who would never dare in real face to face conversation but do run big annonimous mouths online.
its a shame. a real shame. get a life.

Never be afraid to criticize if criticism is warranted, why not?
OMG.
I just hope for their sakes he doesn’t “mentor” them by telling them that stop losses are for losers, and some other stuff he’s posted here?!

I think you make assumptions which may be incorrect.
However - if a person cannot do the job right, why should they be protected ?
And why should “a young woman” have any more "Protection " than - “an old man” ???
I quite like penelopip - but hey the internet is the internet - and full of BS !
Hi @rrram2!
As shared with you through PM, your post was deleted because it referenced to two of your personal Twitter handles, which upon checking, both featured a link to a site for forex asset management.
Posts that link in this fashion to commercial websites are not allowed in the forums. We hope you understand.
Thank you!

first of all, has nothing to do with woman or old men. you are the one assuming here and now.
second, her job or if she does it right or not shall not be judged by the unsatisfied person who is being penalized.
if you dont agree to point two then i immagine you have a damn hard time with police or judges in your life.
her boss is going to judge if she does a good job or not. the only mistake @Pipstradamus made was that he introduced her as being new and in need of teaching, with that action he gave her work away to the evaluation of the retarded crowd. and there are people hopping on the train which was started by sucker 1 and departured towards sucker 2 and 3 and etc. and yes i do use the word sucker very intentionally.
let her do her job. easy as that. you are not the one to judge if she is doing it good or bad. you are nobody. simple as that. deflate your ego. your opinion does not count/matter. and it counts/matters even less in evaluating of if a person has a paid job or not.
anyways disclaimer: i am not believing that penelopips job is endangered. but the crap pouring out on mods work lately, may it be justified or not, has found a specific target on her, not because her work differs in any way from other mods work, but because she has been singled out by few eyes and is in the spotlight since then- for whatever reason. and as it seems to me most people do not realise that if it gets too annoying they will simply change the name from penelopip into sonething else, pretend its somebody else, and the criers will be happy and think they have some powerd in their complaints.

ok,
@ Everyone Concerned
to speak for myself personally, i have not singled out Penelopip, and I KNOW most of this post relates to me alone if not a few others, and… that’s ok. i don’t take it personally, I understand
but so that it’s clear, let me say this
What i accused penelopip of was based on a sequence of factual events and my belief that she was executing the actions on her post (Deletions and flags and what not) at her own discretion.
I have since spoken to (i think) Pipstradamus, who has told me … briefly stated, that before she takes action or any mod does, they apparently have meetings over it and it’s a joint decision
so… that then, changes my perception on things
it also then leads me to question , Why the sudden change , but anyway… IT DOESN’T REALLY MATTER,
at the end of the day, the mods will do what they think is in the best interest of their company
we are the guests on this site
and i accept that the mods have to deal with a bunch of whinging idiots on a daily basis so much so that the crap they have to deal with is probably oozing out of their eyeballs… and i can respect that
i have also come to understand that what penelopip did in the past was really more about bad timing… wrong place, wrong time, sort of thing, as opposed to intentional actions
this in turn has made me rethink what occurred
so… THIS IS MY PERSONAL POSITION ON PENELOPIP
i don’t hold any ill will towards her, but what i believed she did at that time, i just wanted to her to recognize it, because (without mentioning the members name so as to respect their wishes) i think it’s sad when people who contribute to the site leave as a result of a mod being unfair, which i believed was the case at that time
but like i said, things have been clarified since.
penelopip is not without fault, but it also is clear that EVERYTHING i believed was also not as it appeared to be at that time.
life is like this sometimes, things are not always as they seem .
but yes she is new and we will give her the time of day (at least i will)
as for this comment
that’s fine, but changing a name would not modify her traits and her style of moderation,
it would be obvious, even if we didn’t realize it was her, we would have another that we would accuse of the same thing
i just wanted to say that i disagree that if the name is changed we would not pick up on it.
the only way it would be possible to pull that off is
if the name was changed and the problem that was occurring was rectified,… then… YES IT PROBABLY WOULD GO UNNOTICED.
anyway,i just wanted my position clearly understood towards penelopip,
i know she already knows this as we have PM’d
but i thought it would be useful and informative that all of you understood this as well
I have nothing against penelopip
and what occurred back there…WE HAVE SORTED OUT
penelopip since then , has deleted a lot of posts i have been on, Mainly due to other scammers violating rules , but not me violating them, but i did converse with them so my comments were deleted
do i care… No, not in the slightest…I completely understand
so… ME AND PENELOPIP ARE COOL (as it stands now) we have an understanding
now beyond that, if anything is still outsanding between penelopip and another member, I personally have no part in that. I’m responsible for my own words and actions towards mods… that’s it.
BUT I HAVE TO GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE… SERIOUSLY
@Pipstradamus Take a Bow Mate
I mean , guys… seriously… let’s consider how much crap the mods have to deal with (and i know, i’ve had to lead teams in the past in various roles)
Now imagine , how many members there are
How many whingers
how many time wasters
how many scammers
how much BS they have to put up with
NOW… PIPSTRADAMUS has been ever so patient… i gotta admit that
and let’s be honest, back in like November when he didn’t know me too well. there we times when i was talking to him and he bit my head off a little (So to speak)
but, IT’S COOL
i ignored it and didn’t make thing out of it and i asked for understanding, and HE GAVE IT
HE IS A REALLY INTELLIGENT AND PATIENT GUY
NOT MANY PEOPLE CAN DO WHAT HE DOES (in my opinion)
so… for that HE HAS MY RESPECT and appreciation
i also wanted to say that, because he doesn’t have to put up with what he puts up with… YET HE DOES
and i know he won’t always receive a resolution that he wants
but, i can assure you when he deals with me… he certainly will
i respect people that respect me back and i am willing to do whatever is necessary to find a solution IF THE OTHER PERSON IS WILLING TO DO THE SAME
PIPSTRADAMUS IS ONE OF THOSE GUYS THAT IS WILLING TO DO THE SAME
he’s a good bloke
that’s all i have to say here
sorry for the long post

to be honest, I found your post patronising and chauvinist, which is why I responded. In 2018 we are all equal and the fact that “Penelopip” presents ***self as a “young woman” would not be a reason to attack another poster in a truly “Equal” world. (S)he is in a position of power and does not need some patriarchal “Old school” “Protection”.

wow you show some real misconception here.
my posts are not of protecting nature of her but of critisising nature of the general socio cultural patterns of behaviour of crowds, in this case “standard online community crowding” or how its also called “shitstorm for no good reason” and annonimous egos overshadowing a “intelligent human perception”.
you are only pulling any clichet you can find in order to find anything that might fodder your cannon with low quality powder.
anyways, in my opinion enough said in this topic, i leave it at this and leave the community to argue with itself.

Yep. That is what my 100% (in agreement) was for though.
This is what I feel people here need to realize. They don’t wake up and think about ways to annoy members.
I agree also but in this instance, I don’t think he even waited for a response from the mods. That is not fair to be so impatient and then just publicize the issue like this. I saw his reply here that said he didn’t get a timely response - I’m not sure what is considered timely here, less than 6 hours? 5 minutes?
Okay wow this thread blew up. I’ve said my piece and will check other threads now. Honestly, I think it’s a waste of time responding more to this thread. I think good points have been made. OP sounds like he will be off to find ways to attack each and every one who disagreed with him here.
