Way back when.....
There used to be roolze in this place.... and dang nam it, they mostly made sense.
With warmest wishes to the wise ol mc.....
"Flash Forward"
and we have today....
a forum of doofusly designed roolze that are enforced (to be kind) haphazardly.
a forum that is just as likely to "disappear" a poast rather than editing and returning the poast to it's original location.
In addition, members on BOTH sides of the issue would have been up in arms about the disappearance of poasts.....
Instead we have crickets.... and mods running amok.....
I'll bet they've got modtard village all fucked up too.

#22 - ECCIE Staff will go to great lengths to avoid editing, deleting, or censoring our members posts or threads...unless absolutely necessary. Forbidden topics such as underage sex, illicit drugs, bestiality, revealing personal info, medical speculation, or images not in compliance will be removed from public view. Controversial, troublesome, or objectionable posts may draw staff attention or in some cases disciplinary action, but the offending post will not be removed from the view of our membership in any but the most extreme cases. Often times you will find directions, footnotes, or other guidance from staff edited INTO posts which draw our attention. These are for the purpose of educating the readers of what is and what is not acceptable as well as informing others about how these issues have been dealt with. Members are encouraged to RTM posts which include rule infractions or objectionable material if it appears that staff has not already become involved with the thread or post in particular.
Note: Staff will consider a request from the original poster to remove a thread/post they have made provided it was recently posted and not replied to. As a general rule, staff will not consider such requests once a thread or post has been visible for at least 4 hours or received 2 or more replies. In these cases, a request from the OP to lock the thread is more appropriate and will receive consideration.
It is nice to see the expectation from the board owner is there will be directions, footnotes, or other guidance from the staff edited into posts to draw attention to problems for educational purposes.
Darn-it all.... now I have to try and find out what I missed!
