But posts that did not contain insults were delete

But posts that did not contain insults were deleted as off topic. Posts that contained things that might have been termed insults if you stretched a point a LOT, were deleted as 'Off topic," not as violating terms of service.

Because:

if you have a certain number of "off topic" posts, you can have your posting restricted.

I received a number of frantic PM's from a moderator after Mako was outed (the first, within minutes of the posting of his identity) telling me that all of my posts were correctly deleted. When I responded by sending one that was not off topic, was not insulting, and yet was deleted as "off topic," the response I got was "Maybe it was off topic in the context." How can a post that is about the company whose message board it is on EVER be "off topic," especially when it is refuting a false statement someone else made?

Draw your own conclusions.
