The bottom line is the fact that when the moderators do delete a thread it is for a good reason. Common reasons include SPAM, breaking the forum rules (usually watermarks), rude posts or when a person contacts us and asks for something of theirs to be removed.

Personally, I don't want SPAM (even if it has been deleted) lingering on the forums.

If a post breaks our rules or somebody has asked for their material not to be posted here, I don't want our members to try to contact each other in order to trade any "questionable" material.

So if your thread/post ever gets removed, the first place to check would be the forum rules. If you don't think it broke any rules, feel free to contact a moderator.

Thanks,
