As to "deleted" posts in general:

Posts that break the rules are often either 1. altered, 2. moved to the moderator area so they are no longer in public view or 3. deleted. Most are not deleted unless it is hard to extricate them from a thread due to software limitations (and deletions typically only are done by Adminsitrators, not Moderators); however, the public will not see the posts anymore unless the infraction is small enough that we can edit the post, putting an edit tag and a reason, without changing the content of the post. However if the majority of the content of your post is breaking the rules, it will be removed from public view. We are not going to let the embers smolder until it becomes a blaze.

As to "deleted" posts of Frank:

Any posts of Frank that were removed were done so because he broke the rules and refused to comply and only those posts that broke the rules were removed. They were all from recent multiplayer games and concerned user fighting violations as described in the Board Rules. Frank wants to argue about those rules and was given several breaks before he was banned for a day earlier in the month. He was told not to keep pushing it when he came back and to follow the rules and he chose to break the same rule again.

He was even given another chance, but was told the next ban would be a week and after that a subsequent ban would be permanent (again as per board rules) and he chose to leave rather than to live by the rules. That's his perogative, and if he felt he could not live by the established rules than it was probably a good decision for him to make.

Look, most of you know that we don't run the forum like little Forum Nazis and we have a pretty relaxed atmosphere around here. Unless you are making an *** of yourself, we leave you alone.
