Making a thread vanish isn't a great form of moderation. I joined a public forum to try and get along with a variety of people in challenging discussions. Smaller, private forums might be cosier, and more comfortable, but I wanted to be outside my comfort zone. If I was moderated for something I said, I'd like to know why, so I can improve.

Perhaps something was added that was libelous, and a disclaimer from the site doesn't cover them unless they remove such items as soon as they are brought to the attention of management, though. I seem to remember something in the thread about parties suing one another at one point.

Oh well, if I want to contribute to the common knowledge, and be ruthlessly moderated, I can always go back to posting on Wikipedia, where I can try and do an improved rewrite.

;)Thats the problem with the 'creative commons' anyone can contribute, I suppose it becomes a bit like the tower of Babel the internet...the secret is to own your bit of space and write what you like without anyone coming in to argue with you, which comes back neatly to moderation and the need for it.
