Ruined it how, Roger? If the requests are to avoid personal attacks, duplicate posts saying the same thing, or threads created purely to continue an argument/discussion/whatever that started on another thread, why is that unreasonable?

Quoth the FAQ:

The Mudcat Cafe reserves the right to edit, move, combine, rename, or delete all threads and messages posted in the Forum. We will try our best to edit sparingly, but there are times when we may have to take some action to keep the peace, or to protect the interests of our community. Editorial decisions are made by Max, Jeff/Pene Azul, and Joe Offer, or under their direction.

Seems clear enough. In other words, your posts/threads *will* be deleted if you repeat yourself on the same subject without saying anything new. I presume you disagree with this?

Checking the last week's history, I notice the following threads started by yourself:

BS: Proposal for members only posting of BS?

Music posts by Guests to be reviewed.

BS: Your favourite Shamblism?

BS: Do you need to be censored?

Some similarity in the content of those threads, no? Note that this is just threads, and just from posts last week - I'm too lazy to look back for the last couple of months, or to check all posts you've written.
