Re: Good bye.
He didnt get banned as far as I know.
PMing him will still send him a notice that he has a PM. He can come get it if he wants.
Not all of his posts were deleted. I still show hundreds of posts. As far as I know, only his long loud rants which he posted after he was told to drop it were removed.
As for diffusing, yes it could have been. Complaints happen on a regular basis here and we rarely take extreme actions. I think its obvious who it is that didnt participate in the effort to diffuse.

Hey, sorry, I wasn't meaning to complain. I just wanted Frank to know I'd be sorry to see him go, as I'm sure many other people are, even if it was completely his own fault and he had been getting ridiculously argumentative.
About his deleted posts though - it's not just a few from recent threads, it's all the posts he's ever done ever, so far as I can tell. I guess he must have done it himself.

No problem, just making sure everyone knows the policy on changing/removing posts and that we did not wipe out all of his posts. Almost all of his posts are still there, you must be inserting a space or something in his username when you search.

Re: Good bye.
Um, have you looked at them? They all say "Post deleted by Frank Trollman". Pity. Never mind.

Re: Good bye.
I'm guessing he went back and deleted them all by hand.

Re: Good bye.
I think you did a good job Mindi, although an unpleasant one.

Both Gandalf and Mindi tried very, very hard to defuse Franks anger and explain the forums rules. Sadly Frank for a very, very intelligent guy just seemed unable to accept or live by those rules.

Sorry, no I didn't know he did that. Guess we will have to reinstate the editing window in the future. Obviously he was trying to get attention. And yes, Gandalf, Annette and myself all tried to get him to understand that whether or not he agrees with a rule, doesn't mean he doesn't have to follow it. He didn't want to budge and felt he was justified in leveling personal attacks based on things that had happened inside of MP games. Frankly I couldn't care less what happens in people's personal games, just don't bring the drama on here. With all the available ways to snipe at each other if you really want to get into a fight (ICQ, IM, Email), you don't need to bring it here.

Wow. After arguing so long about the worthiness of his points, he deletes them? And I made such a strong case with him that his initial comments were allowed and remained. Then he goes and deletes them making me... grrrrr....
*sigh* If he wishes to erase his worthy contributions then I guess thats the way he wants it.

That's what I did when I was banned from another forum.
