Yep. Legit. It's a pretty weak move to repeatedly try to dodge bans with after-the-fact self-censorship - and it was insulting for him to leave the rest of us in suspense over why he was banned through repeated cleansing of the paper trail.that's nonsense. the mods and admins have been deleting and editing infringing posts for literally more than a decade.
sometimes it gets left up with a public note added if it's not too bad, sometimes we just edit out the most flamey part, sometimes it gets deleted. it is that way now, and it was that way on the old forum too.
Appreciate y'all taking the time to explain the sitch. Tensions are high and it's nice to have a reminder that we can have confidence in the reasonableness of the mod team.
I'm not saying y'all have never had an itchy trigger finger, but you're definitely some of the least tyrannical mods I've ever encountered.
