On the deletion of threads

[Tyrannus]

I created a thread entitled, “Save Our Troops”, where the image itself poked fun at the current American troops comparing them to nazis.

PM sent to me from Stoic Guardian:

Shit Thread deleted.

posting pictures with no context violates rule 7.

My response:

Don’t worry Stoic for I’ll recreate that thread later this evening with all the context anybody could want.

The only rule 7 that I can find says:

7. Crap posting is not allowed. This is defined as excessively obnoxious use of text (huge fonts, large mixmash of font colors that are disorientating to readers.)
   Excessive amounts of space between sentences.
   Excessive amounts of pictures with no context.
   And any general large amounts of posting irrelevent comments that have little to no context with the conversation at hand.

One picture is not an excessive amount.

Given SG’s fascist leanings, I am tempted to call this biased censorship.

I think that you have good reason to complain.

I’m pretty sure SG came out about his fascist flirations just shortly before he became a mod.
Perhaps he was chosen because he would enforce stuff like this against Joker, Bill W and other people he doesn’t happen to like.

Which forum did you post it on?

It’s an amount in excess of any number below 1.

Thanks Phyllo.

I will be re posting that same thread later tonight with a bit more of a written description. We will see if, “Mein Fuhrer”, does anything this second time around.
