Hi

on this thread 'where do you all come from?'
http://www.veggieboards.com/boards/showthread.php?t=5994

i had posted a joking reply 'where i pee from, i also come from :lol: '


this was about 2 days ago




there are many instances daily of individuals making jokes and posts with such 'sexual' twists to them which made me not see my 'joke' as something to be moderated or looked on upon as someting to be deleted



however, i was contacted by a particular moderator today saying -

PM content removed by ~Brandon.




i replied saying that i find that quite unfair for the reason that so many 'things' like this goes on posted on here daily by others and nothing of such is ever moderated/deleted as mine was quick to be done to.


sure, we have 'a lot of minors that frequent VB' so what about everyone else's posts that are frequently 'suggestive' or outright obscene/lewd??


i don't see how my 'joke' was seen fit to be picked out, out of all else that goes on on here, to be something of such great 'deviation' to be picked out and deleted.

:mad:

I have to say that I've also witnessed similar things happen. :sealed:

Edited out PM content, closed thread. Community Assistance is not the place for this, Rahil. If you have concerns, send a PM to Michael. This isn't going to turn into a mod bash-fest.

What we try to go by is... If it's not ok for cable TV it's not ok here. I have never heard anyone mention that bodily function on cable TV. Also keep in mind that we have children here as young as 13 years old. That comment was not appropriate.

If you see something you feel violates the rules please report the post. Complaining about it later really does no good.
