The Rules For When Threads Are Deleted

This is difficult to do when you have a different person moderating each forum. Each person will have a different standard of what is okay and what isn't. You can't regulate that very well.

Although I think it's fairly standard that if a mod receives more than a couple "report this post"s on any given thread, it'll be deleted.

I guess I'm not sure what the big deal is, since, as there are only three of you chatting, it would be just as easy and probably more productive to get on AIM. While the thread didn't really annoy me (it was easy enough for me not to read it), by starting it up again after it was deleted multiple times, it makes it pretty clear that at least one of you was doing it purposely to annoy other posters. If it would be just as easy for y'all to have this conversation on AIM, ask yourself why it's such a big deal that you NEED to have it on GC. If there's a better reason than "We like to annoy the rest of the posters," I'd love to hear it. And if there's not, then . . . uh, why are you arguing?
