Oh moderators - some moderation please.
Robo-mod cannot be blamed as the post was there for at least 5 replies (ten maybe). Just because of a word that - [taken out of context] can cause offence - should the whole thread be removed?

The wording used in that thread - by the original poster - was poetic. I'm sure that no offence was intended, and it summed up in a very emotive way a lot of heart-felt feelings about the game.
Context is everything, the removal was not justified.

One of the Scooby Gang had a thread deleted and now Daphne is crying about it. Hang around for a while and the rest will turn up in the Mystery Machine...

Sasquatch managed to sneak the effing-work into a post, which was really quite good. It managed to hang around for a decent amount of time and replies before it got deleted...

Can you still bypass the swearing on the forum via the edit?


Edit: Only a wanker would try it.
