That's just it. Here, on TMS, it isn't up to you to decide what's proper and what's not. Further, it seems the moderators are not interested in providing you with their reasons every time it happens. One could reasonably conclude that if you keep getting posts deleted, you're doing something the moderators don't like.

Your actions don't seem to support your words though. You engage in moderation, for reasons you feel appropriate, yes? Governed by a set of rules and conditions you've laid out?

I engage in it too. Now granted I am far more tolerant of letting things go off on tangents and allowing for heated debate to take place, and even a few snarky insults here and there. But as a general rule if that's all someone contributes to a site, they'll find their posts missing the next time I'm on. But that's policy which governs sites I admin or co-admin. It seems to have worked pretty well so far.

Lasher is not Synozeer. Synozeer seemed to be willing to let a lot more of this sort of thing stand, based on what I've observed over the years. Lasher appears to be working to clean things up here, and it's all fine by me. Even if that means some of my own posts get torched and I'm not told why. I think in the long run TMS has nothing but good to gain from keeping things in control.

It never ceases to amaze me how much MUD forum junkies seem to hate "the man" and fight so hard against moderation when that's the norm for just about every other forum I've ever seen.
