...Did that post ever personally attack anyone? That post put up a funny video that did NOT break any rules...again, you deleted it because you--in your infinite wisdom--thought it was "dumb"...your words, not mine!

[#4040ff]In most cases, moderators will not interfere in good natured ribbing or mild bantering. However, some members are more sensitive than others. Posts that offend any other member may become subject to moderating action…editing or deleting. Members who establish a pattern of frequently and openly challenging, heckling or berating other members will have their posting privileges curtailed."
[#BF0000]I have a hunch that most people are offended to be called dumb for making a post. Just because the attached video was funny doesn't change the situation.[/#BF0000]

My point is that moderators sometimes go too far...in this case, you obviously did. Now, his reactions may have gone too far as well, but YOU are the one that triggered that reaction by editing something that did NOT need to be edited. Had the original poster come back
or upset, then and maybe then should you have done something...but, again, you acted too soon!

[#800000]You are right, because in his and your opinion I went too far that excuses all of his actions. That excuse always justifies everything. You are right, moderators should always wait to see if the person shows that he is offended before the moderator takes any action. Of course we don't have anything else to do (like try to earn a living for example) than to keep coming back on BFT and seeing if the person has shown any sign that they are offended yet). Yep, that type of moderating would encourage more members to join and to make posts. Thanks for clearing all of this up for us.[/#800000]
