I didn't much like how you moderators deleted my posting on that Jubei Kibugami Anime that slanders a Japanese Christian saint. If you're going to be a bunch of censorship huggers, it would be nice to know.

It's very rare that we delete any posts. If one of the moderators (Cookie I assume) did delete your post I'm sure he had a good reason, and you were probably told by PM.

Plus, part of the reason to have moderators is to prevent the board from falling into chaos - if someone posts a thread that will generate controversy and a flame war then it is within the rights of the moderator to delete the thread. And thread deleting is something that is done very rarely on any borad that I have been on - most of the time you just lock the thread.

Not me..

I've only fully deleted a thread once or twice, and have deleted few posts outside of "[ATTN] General Anime Questions". Typically, if I feel it's inappropriate, I'll lock the thread and then reply saying that the thread has been locked.. and if I edit a post, i'll leave [EDIT: reason by -C] or [EDITED by C] or some-such.

isn't that the whole point of a message board? to debate stuff?

Well, 3 for 3. Either one of the mods is lying (I highly doubt it) or you made a mistake with your post and it was never saved...

Well, the point is to generate conversation, not controversy. But we won't delete a thread because it is controvercial (we may lock it if people stop saying anything intelligent). We only delete obscene posts.

Since this doesn't seem to be getting anywhere, how about you simply post it again?

If it's any consolation, take it from someone who learned the hard way; when they don't like something you've posted and they feel moved to lock down/delete it, they let you know about it in no uncertain terms.

I don't approve of censorship in any form however the moderators have the right to delete any posts they find to be objectionable. I guess we just have to deal with it Confused

This is a moot point and a ten day old post. Leave it be.
