Moderators can be out of control here...

[Michael C.]

I am referring specifically to "Idiot's" thread, that was later deleted. I commented on that there, but there was absolutely no justification at all for deleting it. Sometimes the moderators want to get good information out, and I appreciate that. But why is this some exclusive club where someone has to know someone in order to start a thread? When Poker Al started, his posts were deleted too. Then it turned out some people "knew" him, so it was OK. So why is it that the content of the post is dependant on the person who posts it? If the poster is not known or believable, people don't have to follow him/her or believe them. BUt there should be clear rules for what posts are/aren't allowed, and a particular moderator being in a good mood or a particular moderator wanting to control the flow of information shouild not be some of them.
