[ChrisCavalier]

Why did you deem it neccesary to remove my post about the passing of James Brown.It did not violate any rules of the forum and was read over 70 times before being removed.There are have been non sports related posts on this board in the past.He was an important figure in the world of music and culture.Please....an explanantion
Jon

Hello Jon,

Your post was removed because it contained profanities and implied profanities (with the use of asterisks as you have also done in the last post) in both the title as well as body of the post. This was in violation of the forum rule which states:

No Offensive Language or Materials. Please do not post any messages, images or links that are obscene, vulgar, sexually-orientated, hateful, threatening, racist, sexist, discriminatory or otherwise violate any local or international laws. This includes links in your signature, profile, bookmarks as well as posted images, photos and avatars.

In addition, your post was found offensive by another forum member who responded to your post. Thus, we deemed the thread inappropriate and removed it. While I am presuming/hoping some of the content in the post was made in jest, we will not allow posts that violate the rules and are offensive to other members. If you would like to make another post to announce the death of a celebrity please feel free to do so. However, if you do please make sure it is free of any profanities.

If you would like to continue this discussion please feel free to contact me personally using the contact information below. I will be happy to address any further questions you may have.

Sincerely,
Christopher Cavalier

If someone found it objectionable then so be it.You were doing your job.Thank you for the explanantion Chris.To bad that another member found my very mild name calling(scumbag) worthy of deletion.If they read my whole sentence they would have actually seen that i was commending James Brown for the artist he was.And as it goes for the asterisks(although it is clearly a rule)i think we are a little over the top with that rule.We are not living in the 60's here.The implied vulgarity rule seems to be a stretch as this method has been used many times in the past by an assortment of members.Anyhow not getting down on you Chris you do a great job.Thanks and happy holidays

Hello Jon,

Thank you for your post and your understanding regarding the rules. I really appreciate the fact that, although you may think we are a little conservative in our approach to the boards, you respect the decision and are willing to comply for the benefit of the community as a whole. BTW, as a side note, I think I'm more predisposed the 70's than the 60's which probably explains why I enjoyed seeing the movie 'Rocky Balboa' recently

Thanks again for your contributions and I look forward to working together for the benefit of the hobby.

Sincerely,
Chris Cavalier
