Hopefully we will receive an explanation soon....

If anything, the whole thread should have been moved to an OT forum. There are a lot of threads cluttering up this board that have nothing to do with the game, and this is the game forum. Deleting the Posts was a bad move (if the admin did it, and it was not a hack atack). Moving it and several other threads to OT would not be. imho.

The thread was a little warm, but thats ok. Political discussions usually are. It was not a flame fest, which "might" merit deltetion, or better yet, a "lock down" and a private note from the admin to the flamers to quit that practice or face banning (temp or perm).

No, moving them would be bad, because they have never been moved like that in the 3 or so years this forum has been up. To start doing so now would be wrong.

Couslee does have a good point.

If it was the administrator that deleted the Posts, a warning would be appropriate.

Then if the transgressions continues (whatever it may have been), then affirmative action could be taken as the warning was ignored.

But because the postings were occasionally impassioned but in no way hostile or heated, my feelings are that we have a hacker in our midst.

And then......

Maybe the president disapproved of the postings and by "executive order" ordered their removal

With that kind of logic, slavery would still be common.

LOL tbontob. never know. OR, it could have been an Al Queda attack on Americans over the internet. We now have sufficient reason to go bomb Iraq.

Umm... no, not at all. Equating how a forum is run to slavery is illogical. There is no valid basis of comparison.
