Either way, I offered an explanation to you only since you seemed confused why your post was removed, but you've turned it into some kind of a personal battle with me.
Serves me right for even trying to help you out.

Forum Guidelines are just that, guidelines. They aren't intended to cover every possible circumstance that could happen in the forums. Russ has indicated in the past that he prefers not to see wholesale bumping of old threads, rather that a link to the old thread be provided. Possibly something to do with the actual site functioning.

Please note that the title of this thread is worded "a sensible debate". Have a nice day.
If you are interested in "sensible debate", and have examples from Russ and the help guidelines please come share them with us. Thread 124573
GOTCHA!!!! I luv this.

That could inspire users to replace *** with other words... as you will probably soon see considering the number of jokers here at RHP.
You think I've never had a post or thread removed? You'd be wrong.
Get over it, it happens all the time. Don't let it get you down or ruin your fun.
Bring something to the table, be around for a while. Once users here at RHP see you're a frequent poster you will most likely have a better chance of creating a nonsense thread... but a new poster bringing nothing to the forum is more likely to have a thread alerted as spam and removed.
Don't treat it like the end of the world, move on.

Sorry, I'm not a moderator, you're wrong.

-Removed-I agree with this 100% that hits the nail on the head. Its what I've been saying all along, personal opinion and interpretation of the rules so that user A is modded differently from User B when the scenario is the same.
Furthermore if a user is seen as a black sheep, he can expect to be chided like a small child and sent text that is not even on the forum guidelines. Does this ring a bell?
-Removed-Once again, friends, let's turn to our friend, MR. OXFORD:
Mr. Oxford, defines sensible as: "1.wise and prudent; having or showing common sense. 2 practical and functional rather than decorative."
http://www.askoxford.com/concise_oed/debate
Mr. Oxford, defines debate as: "1. a formal discussion in a public meeting or legislature, in which opposing arguments are presented. 2. an argument."
http://www.askoxford.com/concise_oed/debate
This discussion is NOT being hijacked by one incident. We are having a SENSIBLE DEBATE about forum moderation, so far all of the proceedings have been civilized and drawing out FACTS where necessary. It is a sensible debate not an argument about one incident.
training wheels for new mods.
may i suggest that when new mods are appointed, they are not given the power to make modding decisions immediately; rather they are to refer decisions to a more experienced mod, and only when they achieve a certain percentage of match-ups between their own opinions and those of the more experienced mod are they to be given full mod powers.
the more experienced mods could give feedback about their (the new mods'😉 mistakes, helping them get up to speed quickly. i realise this is even more work for the new mods, but in the medium term they'll still achieve a lower workload, once the probationary period is over.

It's completely absurd if Kewpie is a mod. Didn't she already tried it once and was a miserable failure? It boogles the mind as to why would anyone ever consider her again for moderation. Was it because people felt sorry for her? Awful, awful reason.

Kewpie never was a mod, Kewpie is not a mod. Are you getting info from VR's busted rumor mill?
