    How can it not be mysterious? At least until it's understood, what else can it be called but mysterious?

        I know - sometimes they've been deleted before I can post a response. I think this "Message Deleted" feature is rather ridiculous - at least when it's being abused like this.

        A high proportion of your responses translate into "Yer stoopid!" So, I suppose I didn't miss all that much.

        At least (unless I'm misremembering) you've expressed this opinion previously, which puts you light-years ahead of Dryrot, who enjoys the abusive nature of it and boasts of his ability to help censor me.

            With no pre-defined rules for message deletion it's rather stupid. Some offensive messages have been deleted, some inoffensive messages have been deleted. Doesn't make sense. Some have been removed after 2 votes...I thought it took multiple (i.e. more than two) to remove a message?

            And some of my posts vanish within minutes, sometimes even as I'm correcting a spelling error or missing word I didn't notice before I'd initially posted it.

            How long did it take you to come up with this attack? The effect of the programming is quite impressive.

                I'd believe that if some of the messages weren't still in blue - and some of them only have 2 votes.... An explanation would be nice. Apparently, while I was away, I missed loads...

                You're right - some of mine were removed after one vote. However, the fact the Ilion is not subjected to this attack makes me still believe it is instigated by him.

                    Exactly what I was thinking. Right now, I'm trying to balance, by voting anyone who isn't offensive up to a 5.

                    %'s don't necessarily seem to help. Fistcuffs post below was supposedly so protected, and is now gone. Someone is having a good bit of fun at everyone else's expense. I hope Chris is able to detect the offender's identity and has the Lawyers drop him a not-so-polite suggestion.

                          The thought crossed my mind, but what exactly would be the point? If Chris wanted to shut SB down, he could. If he wanted to eliminate all negative voting in here, he could.

                                  Or, especially if it is Troy as I suspect, Chris gets pissed enough to keep deleting him every time he reregisters.

                                    I don't read all the old threads - too hard to go through message by message. I assumed all the deleting meant that I had missed some kind of flame war or something. Apparently not. Which is what makes this latest bout of deletion rather strange.

                                      I don't read all the old threads - too hard to go through message by message. I assumed all the deleting meant that I had missed some kind of flame war or something. Apparently not. Which is what makes this latest bout of deletion rather strange.

                                      Ah. Well, if there was, I missed it too (and, like you, I wasn't about to read *all* the posts of the past week). But, hasn't there been a sort or inverse (and one sided) flame war going on for months?

                                        How utterly strange is it that our very own Dryrot *boasts* of his ability to help censor me? Yet, here he is spinning strange conspiracy theories and/or accusing me of possessing extraordinary hacker skills [edit: recall, I am the epitome of stupidity] Is it not strange that to collusively censor me, and laugh about it, is not abusive of the site and its terms [and yet, when for whatever reason, Dryrot is experiencing the same, it *is* abusive of the site and its terms]? How odd life is.

                                          Never let a good crisis go to waste, after all.
