This nonsense about contravening Site Rules is just that - nonsense. The place is run on a shoestring with unpaid mods doing as they see fit and the eds reading reports of deletions when they get around to it. I have never seen a removed post reinstated without specific request. Nothing ever changes and protest is futile. For the average member it’s a case of like it or lump it.
Since no-one knows which Mod has deleted a post or thread, how do you know whether it was done by a, "very reasonable" Mod or or one who has, "let so called power go to their heads."?
