I just posted a thread, and it ***POOF***, disappeared. I admit, it was in the wrong discussion board. So if it was moved fine.....I just don't see it re-posted anywhere.....Oh Mr. Moderator....your not going the way of the Gestapo on us are ya??? BTW, if my thread in question has re-appeared while typing this thread, please dis-regard...... :D

But see threads like this won't last forever. They have 2 or 3 posts in them that don't really say anything important or provide useful information so if they get tossed and they aren't necessarily missed.

Was it respectful? Was it appropriate? I posted the reference to that 'game industry slam' which is still here.
If you post stuff you wouldn't say to your mother or say in church, then be prepared for it to be deleted.

It was'nt disrespectful, nasty, or anything like that...I refered to a post that was locked, the "Correct DLORDS.EXE where can I get it?" thread. I offered to sell my legitimately paid-for Dungeon Lords game for what the game was worth....the cost of shipping. I also made the statement that pirating is not legal, and it is wrong to steal from the developers/producers.....I did, on the other hand, point out the fact that we the consumer have been robbed or "pirated" by DC/HP. The original thread was a little bit sarcastic, but I really don't see why they would remove it. I must have stepped on some toes.....or it could be some gliche.....who knows. Maybe a moderator could tell me what happened.............
Well in most forums I frequent talk regarding piracy in most forms will get the thread closed... so this could be the case
Also "offering" to sell your legimately copy is illegal AFAIK....I dont think you're allowed to re sell software....at least I think that is the case in Denmark....
If the abovementioned applies I guess it is reasonable they closed your thread.
Off course your comments regarding DC "robbing" their customers probably didn't help give you the benefit of the doubt :D

I have one thread closed in the forums but it wasnt deleted. Besides is the Feedback forum only for positive comments? What is this respectful stuff? at the least we were disrespected when we bought it. Without swearing or vulger speach or threats it should be allowed to stay.
