Hi Jelena - See below moderation notification.
Moderation Notification
Your content "Anyway to figure out the user running an Analytic in Design Studio?" has been rejected by an SCN moderator and is no longer visible in the community. Please see the Rules of Engagement for more information on why content is rejected.
Reason: Please share how you have searched for your question in accordance with SCN rules
So you did get a reason. You might not like the reason, but your initial complaint:
I find it absolutely rude on the part of moderators within SCN to simply reject a question without specifying a reason.
doesn't apply to you personally.
The moderator is directing you to do some research and then, if you still cant' figure it, repost but show that you have put some effort into finding the answer. That's how I read it. It seems fair.
Now follows a little explanation of moderation on this site.
1. Moderation is for the good of the community as a whole
2. Some threads may benefit the original poster, but nonetheless harm the community as a whole
3. When you have a discussion forum with unrestricted FAQs and basic questions, experts - the ones with the knowledge - rapidly get fed up of answering the same questions again and again. So they stop contributing. Therefore unrestricted FAQs and basic questions (which should have been covered in your courses, or are dealt with in help.sap.com), harm the site as a whole.
4. Moderators don't always get it right. If there is a query about moderation, it would be nice, once in a while, to see that raised in this space, in a respectful, non-aggressive, non-confrontational, non-outraged manner. After all, it was only a question on an internet forum. Nobody died.
This has been discussed at length over the years. You may not agree with it, but it's pretty much the consensus of the site owners, administrators and moderators, so it isn't going to change any time soon.
