In re:  http://my.nowpublic.com/culture/michael-jacksons-death-conspiracy-theory-updated

NUMBER 1 ------   I noticed that my questions in forum and some of a few other authors has no date in the "latest post" column.  Most have a "date created" and a "latest post" date.  Why don't mine?

NUMBER 2 ------ Second, whenever I send an email, I usually go to my "sent" file to check and see if it went and to re-read it to make sure I made myself clear, in case I need to send a clarification.  Sometimes I type faster than I can think.  LOL!

I just checked on two emails that I sent - my last two.  One went to Tina and one to Amy.  I inquired about the word "Update" which disappeared off my article entitled - Michael Jackson's Death - The Conspiracy Theory - Update.  When I went to my "sent" file, the word beside my message said "trash."  Also, there was no message box for me to write, as there usually is.  Does this mean the cyberstalker is redirecting my NP mail to "trash" so that I cannot communicate with NP staff?

I wrote to Amy this:

SUBJECT - Request re "Update" for MJ Conspiracy Theory Article

WILL you please put the word "update" back at the end of the title to my article? It should end in a dash and "Update" Also PLEASE position the photo back when done. That picture is one the Cyberstalkers try to delete constantly. I dare not try to put the title right myself, because the cyberstalkers hate that article. I have had much trouble with it. It even got stuck behind the iron curtain yesterday.

I wrote this to Tina, but did not request that it be put back. I am not sure she is getitng my emails.

SUBJECT - Did you change my title in the MJ Conspiracy to delete "Update"?

Tina, are you or NP taking responsibility for changing my title, deleting the word "update" from the MJ article? I read the Forum topic: you wrote - Headline Policy Clarification - Staff Rewrites

It says "update" will be removed if found to be inaccurate or misleading. My article has three updates - an article, a petition, and a new conclusion. Each of the three updates is clearly marked in the article. Update 1 of 3, Update 2 of 3, and Update 3 of 3. There is NO EXCUSE to remove the word "update" whatsoever.

1. There will be information in the 'latest post' column if someone responds. Now that I have responded, there will be information in that column. That information is not available for any post where there have been no replies.

2. We all have 'trash' beside our sent messages. Here is a screenshot from a message I sent:

If you click on the 'trash' link, it will move the message to trash. If you clicked in the message to view it in your sent items, then it is in your sent items. It the message was in trash, then it wouldn't be in your sent items.  

3. None of us have another message box below our sent messages, after we send the first message. New messages are not like forum posts etc. If you want to send another message to someone, you have to start a new message thread. 

Here is a screenshot of a message I sent where there is no message box:

In short, what you are seeing is no different to what every other member sees, including myself.

Also, I really do not believe that anyone on NP is trying to censor you or your freedom of expression. As you can see from the above, there is very often a simple explanation for what you feel is odd or unexplainable.

(Edited to add more screenshots/ detail.)

As I have stated so many times duo, no one here is trying to censor you or prevent you from doing anything, so please stop accusing us of this almost everyday! We have neither the time nor the desire to sabotage anyone, and why would we put our jobs on the line to tamper with someone's account? It doesn't make sense. I'm not going to respond to these forum posts anymore with statements I have already answered in private messages to you.

Thank you generaldecay for taking the time to respond.

Thank you for responding.  I only asked a question.  I did not ask as an accusation.  If I was notified in email when NP makes changes to my writing, I would not go looking for who-done-it.  Otherwise, I have to check, because I run into many issues, and not just NP.  I check on each one.  I think it is not asking too much to get an email - Hey, Mary, we changed this -- We deleted "update" from your title, something. 

No. 2, I only saw a difference in how some articles have a date in the "last updated" field, but mine and a few others did not.  I asked what determined that. 

In no case have I been disrespectful.  I am surprised at the level of anger I got back for asking.  We are at Level 6 with the flu thing anyway, so maybe none of this will matter much longer.

Blessings.

  Sometimes, when I ask Internet sites about things, they are not even aware of  the things that I ask about happening.  So I ask.  I always was taught to ask if you don't understand something.  Is that a problem?

To avoid any misunderstanding, I have just removed a spam post from this thread. The spammer was advertising escort agencies.
