Point of clarification please:
Is EVC taking his medication or not taking his medication at the moment?

Well, I'm with Evan on this one.
There is no longer, if there ever was, any ATTEMPT at a clear, consistent approach to moderation. Neither Ming nor Markos have given an answer better than "we can do whatever the hell we want" which is true but nonetheless reprehensible.
I find the deletion of threads, as opposed to locking, to be most offensive, and IMO should be used sparingly if at all.
I like good debates on controversial topics. If I have to go to ACOL for them, so be it.
And for the umpteenth time, if you are allowed to call someone a gay ****, why was Derek banned? Imran subsequently called Starchild a gay ****. Standards, please, all we ask is standards.

Ming just moved my very first thread for no reason that I can discern.
Is this guy on drugs? Or is the problem that he should be, but he keeps forgetting his pills?

Yes, deletion means no accountability. Posters can't judge for themselves whether a thread should have been closed or not.

You have an arse-nal, Ming? Can we say "arse" here?

Ming, I think the main concern is that in your fervent, not to say bizarre, crusade against what you consider duplication and spam, you seem to often confuse spam with fun. Fun threads are not spam except to a small minority of posters who are so hopelessly humourless that I pity them.
How Sneak gets away with endlessly posting threads through his civnation DL whilst other harmless threads are closed simply baffles me. Lighten up.

It really is amusing to see people whine about their threads getting locked. Especially big tough Army officers.

I didn't realise this was a spectator sport, until of course you started constantly showing up.

Ming and MarkG: I'm surprised at your reaction resulting from my comparison. Surely you must have realized that I wasn't comparing Apolyton itself to the III Reich itself. I was focusing on methods used here and there. The similarity is increasingly remarkable. And, since the methods used by the Nazis are considered as wrong in the majority of the civilized world...
Mark: I do not understand why a topic discussing racism (which, I must say, is quite civ-related  ) would be judged as inapropriate on this board, in the OT forum. The only thing that would justify a removal of sucha a thread is a threat of the site shutting down due to illegal content. And, in this case, it's perfectly understandable. However, nowhere have I seen you or Ming specifying this as the reason.
Again, Mark and Ming: Look, guys, I am not poised at verbaly attacking you, flaming, etc. I wrote this because you seem to act like I was indeed doing that.
Instead of assuming hostile intentions, try to picture my posts on this thread as a friendly suggestion on how to improve the site.

This all reminds me greatly of the huge disaster we just had at the forum (Age of Kings Heaven) I just came from.
That event, which led to the temporary closing of the forum by the overzealous though well-meaning forum admin, was blown all out of proportion because the moderators began getting a little too eager with their thread closings, which led to vociferous complaints from some forumers (myself included), which led to defensive moderators, which led to more thread closings, more protest, and finally bannings.
I honestly believe that a light but firm hand is a moderator's best friend.
Ming, I think you should treat this forum as if it were a woman that you were making love to. Be gentle, take your time -- if you're uncertain about something, ask before acting. Two-way communication is the key. And always use protection.

DL = what?
I know what it means. We called 'em "smurfs" back home. But what does it stand for?
