tanis, not a private mod, and no idea why you got booted from there, but as an example to this board, I'd like to highlight the two posts Figgy posted today as an example of what not to do before I delete them.

By itself, the first post, agreeing or disagreeing with the topical discussion is not terrible. I'm not here to filter out posts that don't add a whole lot to the discussion. in a vacuum that input is somewhat helpful. but what would be better, is a post that makes you think. but it's the second post "is that you gerald" that sells him/her out as a worthless troll and will get both comments deleted. He's been told a thousand times and still he makes these childish, baseless, useless slights. there are at least 3 boards on the internet. this one is the middle ground and I will not allow it because I am a power hungry mad man. also this post will self destruct in 24 hours to remove clutter.

I am the co-captain now.
