I am familiar with the terms and the conditions, yes. I never said that the moderators did not have the right to remove my post, or any post, at their discretion. I was not suggesting that they are somehow required to notify me if they do so. I was expressing displeasure with their
choice of how to handle the removal of a post. I personally think it is a better practice to notify someone when a message is removed, either in the thread or privately.
Going to the rules that
@_caleb referenced, I don't see any category of prohibited content that telling someone to "shut up" would fall into. Of course, as has been established, these are your boards and you have the discretion to remove any post you like for any reason. But I don't see a clear case where what I posted violated the rules.
Also, I understand that sometimes the tone, tenor, or even humor of a message doesn't come through in a message board posting. I debated whether or not to add an emoji to the end of that very brief post. Perhaps I erred in deciding not to. It was not meant as an actual request for the poster to stop posting. It was meant as a short, sweet, and somewhat humorous way to indicate that I thought what they posted was patently absurd. I guess I need to work at better conveying the intent of my comments.
