So posters can now only post about things they have some control over?

Like Iraq, Sudan and Third World Dept etc.

Where has Max ever stated such a thing?

When judgement is imposed on the invited contributions of posters, this is undertaken in their name, in order to protect them and certain assurances are given for the criteria required - perhaps they can be expected to seen to question this - if these assurances are not seen to be honoured and be able to have their say on this - as they would on any other issue?

And to be able to post on this subject as often as any other?

I am sure we will all be concerned about climate change and continue to post these concerns - even when we accept that it something we REALLY have little or no control over?

As it is still generally accepted that our forum will be what its posters make it - perhaps you could offer some suggestions as to how to prevent entire threads on our forum from continuing to be 'silently deleted' by persons and reasons unknown - when they do not meet the required criteria?
