Why the Porn Thread was Deleted

[DBlack]

I feel it's important to address the family because of this thread that was deleted by a staffer last night.

The Mod expressed her personal disapproval of the subject. That is her right to do so. The mod also warned that if the thread got out of hand, it would be closed and/or deleted.

A few members decided engage in a exchange with her in an inappropriate way of protesting her opinion and stance on the thread. This is clearly disrespectful to the rules and spirit of the site.

How to handle issues or complaints with staff:

If you have an issue with the staff, submit your complaint via the Administration forums or PM me directly. The open forums will never be a place where people can serve their own personal agendas by having a confrontation with staff. I simply won't allow it. We don't use the open board to settle beefs with you, so give us the same respect.

One of residents is actually a mod at another site, so I was particulary offended by this individual's disrespectful tone and hypocrisy. But then again, I guess this person decided to have one personality and set of morals here, and a different set at the board they are actually responsible for managing. How disingenuous.

I made the rules on this site. Most of them have never changed since it's birth. The staff here simply do their best to enforce them and be fair. If you don't like the rules, bring the heat to me, NOT my staff.

To make matters worse, the thread creator went back and created another thread, in direct disrespect to the board. What are we supposed to do? The AfroStaff is constent and fair; if we warn you and say we will take action, we will take action.

The thread was deleted because it turned into a childish back and forth. The thread was NOT deleted because of a personal disapproval of the thread. We disagree with alot of threads here, and 99% of them are not deleted. I fully support the mod's decision to close and delete duplicate threads.

If you have any respectful responses or questions about these rules, feel free to use this thread. Any ignorant or confrontational posts will be removed.
