Yup... I've noticed that. Some people seem to get pretty steamed up about what they perceive as 'censorship'.

Some threads I have contributed to have subsequently disappeared, but it doesn't overly upset me, as I usually 'Save as HTML only' any threads I'd like to read over again. A throwback from when I used to have dial-up, I reckon, as the personal page can take ages to reload with lots of 'traces' on it.

I have to say, though, that the threads which have disappeared that I am aware of were mostly ones which started to get very acrimonious - guests and members alike were equally responsible.

For the most part, I think the moderators are having too much of their (VOLUNTARY!) time wasted by spam postings... if I see spam I usually PM a moderator, but find that someone had already spotted it and deleted it the next time I looked!

I have to agree that, in general, this forum seems to be healthy enough. People who don't like what others are saying don't need to respond and fuel the flames!

I really don't understand why people get so steamed up about anonymous moderators... does it really matter? I couldn't give a rat's patoot!

Hah!
