Forum mod, I don't understand you? Do you have a personal grudge against me or something? I mean come on now. I know I was banned once before for the things I said, and no i'm not making any excuses but what I do wrong now? 4 of my posts have been deleted from the forum and I know for a fact there was nothing offensive in it. I even replied to "Dracon's bad day" post and it was deleted. I am giving the benifit of the doubt but there must be something wrong with the forum why my posts are just dissappearing.

It was not because of you, it was because of me.
AKA reason it closed

Well that explains one thing...but what about the rest?

The moderator activity log shows only your response to RaeKwon on Dracon's thread was deleted, and that for being a flame. (FYI, I'm not the one who deleted it.) I don't know anything about the other 3 you speak of.

Ok, well I guess it was kinda a flame, but isn't half of that thread a flame?

And i'll just drop the other things that were deleted because I have no way of proving it.

Just because "everyone is doing it" or "they do it all the time" or whatever similar reason, doesn't make it right. Flaming is flaming is flaming.

For the record, it was I who deleted that particular post. I have nothing against you, or anyone else here for that matter. Please remember that: any action taken by a forum moderator is never personal. Ever. Moderators take action only when certain posts require modification (or more) to maintain the standards of civility expected on these forums. No more, no less.

As for why that post and not others? It was a pretty blatant flame against RaeKwon. Other posts in that thread were either pointless or argumentative, but none were as clear cut. If those were deleted, half the posts in this forum would be gone and the forum moderators would truly be a sort of Gestapo. That is not our goal. It is simply to keep the forums at a minimum level of civil discussion to be enjoyed by all. As part of this goal, flames by anyone are simply not welcome here. There are other places where it may be appropriate, but this is not one of them. So, you see, it was not personal.

After deleting the post I also closed the thread because it was degenerating quickly into a useless rehash of grievances between RaeKwon, Dracon and their supporters. Again, if you feel that sort of banter is necessary, have at it. Just not here.

Thanks for your understanding. We appreciate any effort to help make this community a more enjoyable one to participate in.
