just a whole lot of flaming, going on. But the mod/s in question were getting rid of them so fast it was a blink and you'll miss it type thing.

So big ups

This is NOT a flame: were flames being extinguished or was censorship being imposed? It's a legitimate question- I'm putting my butt on the line here.... If OBVIOUS uncalled-for flames were removed, I'd support that....

It was ugly and pretty stupid. No content was being unnecessarily removed.

Just a minute. Let me ressurrect the 300+ threads we had to delete in 45 minutes so Mosley can see.

they were deleted so fast that unless you were browsing here at the time you would have missed them, that's kind of the whole point of this thread.

Sorry to bring it up, but I was really impressed. Ok, first I was highly confused, but when I figured it out, I was really impressed!

Have you guys been getting spam on your PM's? I went to a site that was advertized and saw suspicious posts from Dave, Kimcheeking and Beckerson that are not typical of previous posts here.
Also, for the mods, how much time do you spend doing this? Are you paid? Why did you decide to become a mod? How did you get the job?
Do you guys work in shifts? Who has the 2 am shift?

Thanks Oi Girl! Wish you didn't have to notice... but there's often someone out to spoil the party.

Mosely, you seem very determined to ensure that the mods aren't launching a censorship crackdown on the board. So let me assure you, we were deleting the extremely vulgar and witless posts from a well known troll... the threads being posted were in regards to who is having anal sex with who or what, unflattering comments about a number of posters (not just the mods), personal threats, anit-canadian statements and various other bits and pieces. Should have logged on a bit earlier, eh?

I'm sure you'll forgive me for not posting the 300+ posts removed, as what would be the point of removing them???

The mods do it for the love..

As for the weird stuff just a guy/gal being a moron. Think bathroom grafitti and you get the idea.

No. many of our users were impersonated there to make it look like a mass defection. All posts by two guys, one in Seoul, the other in the southern US.
