Yes, that was exactly my point. I immediately had two mods on my neck, my insult got deleted as well as the other person's reply to it. If you're not one of the few people who saw the exchange before the mods stepped in (and they were fast!), you've got no way to know that I'm not that sweet And you'd wonder why on earth I got banned.

Congratulations for facing your fears Aspiring I'm sure you'll be a wonderful mod. Thoughtful, considerate, and impartial.

Yes, of course. Dan sucks and this forum is run very badly.

Don't worry, I've already reported myself to myself.

And if you were at all serious, I beg your forgiveness!

I've notified Steve about this situation, but I was hoping that this could be handled with a little class.
You either:
1) Didn't read the forum rules
2) Didn't understand them
3) Don't want to follow them
4) Don't think that there is a problem with the way we are moderating the forum

Which one is the case?
If you find a problem that you think should be changed hit the "Report post" button.
If you do, we moderators can discuss the issue. Otherwise we probably won't unless one of us personally thinks that something is wrong.
Messinging Steve won't get you very far most of the time because Steve has to read a lot of emails and messages and isn't into micromanaging the forum unless something really terrible happens.

Well I am not that long reading or using this forums.
But up till now I haven't seen postings disappear. And haven't heard yet about people getting banned because they have a different opinion what politics concern.
If you disagree with someone's political point of view you can just post it not?
Asking to close this forum because you don't see enough people writing down how you think about it, would not change the opinion of these people would it? So if you think they are wrong in some way, just explain them why, try to convince them how you see it.
A forum is to discuss topics, not to agree with everybody without any discussion. So explain your points of view in stead of asking to close the forums.
And what is "left" what is "right"?

Yeah it's great, no naming calling or any of the other childish things you see on a lot of forums. The place has a really good feel, I think the moderators do a great job overall.
