Area woman Diane Klippenstein has a longstanding tradition of writing “please delete if not allowed” before every single social media post.
“Whether I’m selling my canned beets or inquiring what time the Co-op in Swift Current opens, I always let the moderators know they can delete my posts,” explains Klippenstein. “It’s just one way I can show I’m a conscientious community member.”
Klippenstein never bothers to read group rules and instead believes that someone else will just delete her useless posts if need be.
“Hey, I’m being courteous,” said Klippenstein. “I’m letting moderators know it’s all on them to look at the rules and carefully assess whether my post meets the criteria. Gotta give them something to do, right?”
Group moderators have thanked Klippenstein for her comments, but say they’d delete her crap whether she gave them permission to or not.
“Oh and starting today we have a new rule – no writing “please delete if not allowed.” That’ll get you banned for sure.”
Group members were happy with the new rule, especially since it meant they wouldn’t be seeing Diane’s inane posts anymore.
