I just spent a decent amount of time trying to ask our community about a problem I had with the website. Both of my posts were deleted, both of them I put a decent amount time into and the second one I tried so hard to articulate myself appropriately and without naming names that the worst words in it were "Butt" and "Ass".

I never had this problem in the past, but apparently our moderator's aren't keen on things I'm unaware of. If anyone has a problem with the website and would like to discuss it with the community, where else would we put it besides well, a membership blog? I'm not upset with whatever moderator decided what I was posting was inappropriate, that's cool, I'm not "Hating" on you, I just think that if I need to take baby steps to post something, that I atleast should be taking baby steps in the right direction. Make a sticky on what conduct is appropriate and what isn't.

Does anyone agree with me? Does anyone disagree? I'd like to hear what the community thinks on this subject. Thank you.

Flame Guardian: Your first post was deleted, and the reason for deletion is automatically PMed to you whenever a thread is deleted.

I even went the extra mile and PMed you a more detailed reason why the first thread was deleted, the second thread was deleted, and now, why this thread is locked.

You will note that in Section 2, we clearly outline that content intended to incite or attack individual groups of users is in violation of the TOS. In your case, the content of your post in combination with the poll itself was deemed to be inciting group action against a particular hub entry, implying our staff's endorsement of that particular game.

As a moderator, it's my responsibility to uphold other moderators' decisions, which is why I deleted your second post, considering the first was deleted by another moderator. If you have a complaint about moderator action taken against you, you need to speak with one of us via PM, or you need to register a complaint here: http://byond.com/support

As such, as you have had two threads deleted in a row for the same reason, we're going to go ahead and lock this one until you've gotten in contact with us and made a case for the reversal of those actions.

Thank you, and I apologize for the inconvenience.
