    I'm curious why my posts were deleted on this thread, the only reason gave was "moderator discretion" and I feel that it could have been a helpful post, or even a simple comment depending on the way you look at it. Link
    There wasn't any harsh language, piracy references, flames, bashes or links to sites that contained such, it wasn't advertising because I had nothing to gain from them going to the site and said link was also completely within the topic.

    I'm starting to become quite disgusted with the way this site is going, from Pichus Horribly awful sex dream topic to the way some posts and new spam threads are being handled.

    I could go on rambling on how Warcraft is inferior to Starcraft...but I'm sure you wouldn't like that.

    Same thing would go when you made thoses posts directed at the Runscape fans. Not something you should post. The reason was put down because I couldn't find a specific reason to put (the TOS clause of "Other"

    And if you don't like the way the site is being ran...then the exit is to your left.

    The moderators have full rights to remove any posts they feel may either violate the TOS or cause disruption to a topic or board. While I didn't read the post(s) that were removed, I don't think that Neo7 would have done so without a good reason.

    This is a large site with many members and many message boards. Some things are going to get posted and slip by unnoticed longer than others. The moderators and I will continue to do our best to remove posts and people that shouldn't be here.

    While I'd like for you to stay insomniac, if you're truly disgusted with the place, then there are tons of other boards for you to visit. Of course, if any of them are as large and diverse as ours, you're likely to run into the same types of things as you do here. Everyone can only do so much when dealing with this many people and personalities.

    I accept neo's decision to delete my posts, if he felt that they weren't worth the space then I accept that decision. I have no intention of leaving the site however. Ive made to many friends here and had a few too many good discussions (however sparse they are today) to just pack up and leave. Its going to take a bit more than a few bad topics and a deleted post to get this floyd avatar wielding do-gooder out of this board.

    I understand that with a site of this size its hard to filter every bit of content. and on the topic of pichus thread, he did somewhat "self censor" himself, and warn people in the title about the contents, there's one line that sticks with me "I guess its ok since im a mod" now I'm not sure if those were his exact words but it was somewhere along the line of that. I'm a firm believer that no one is ever above the law/rules. I am in no way asking that he be removed from his position, that's not my decision and I'm not going to attempt to influence yours.

    I do believe that a warning of sorts, or possibly a "second chance" would be in line. Ive known Pichu for some time now, and were not always on the same page. But I have never made an enemy in all of my existence, and I'll always respect authority figures, weather they be a teacher, the police or a forum moderator. But it can be quite challenging to respect someone who doesnt show the same respect, weather it be to others or there environment. he knows that we have very young people on these boards, and I don't believe that all of them would know what NC-17 means, and to taint young minds is a punishment worse than death if you ask me.

    once again, I thank you P for making such an excellent site, the veteran members for sticking around so long, and all those people who still keep good discussion posts going, just to knock those game threads down a line.

    Wait...Who are you again?

    In regards to Pichu's topic, it was immediately brought to the attention of the administrators by us and I personally removed the contents of his topic until a decision was made. Pichu removed the topic promptly afterwards and apologised for his error, and I assure you us moderators are subject to the same rules as everybody else.
