Because, of course[^], the place has been an absolute hell for the past few weeks?

Nope, but some idiot tried to screw up your computer by posting a response to you that contained a link that would have trapped you into a spawn-cycle. Christian contacted Chris who decided to implement the solution he'd mentioned at the time he resurected this forum. So it's all your fault. ;)

Actually, I reported the post (the response to your post, that is, - after "enjoying" the link, which was disgustingly obscene as well as a spawn attack. After having to power off to escape, I thought it needed to go). I did not request that your post be removed, but evidently Chris felt it necessary to remove the whole thread. Your thoughts on moderation policy /charter would be welcome. The consensus seems to be that least is best, with post editing - with accompanying explanation for the edit - rather than removal as the primary mechanism. Hopefully, slime like the jerk that responded to you will stay away and no moderation will be needed, just as has been the case since we were sent to the back room and disarmed...

I'm sure I've explained this to you multiple times -- I long ago developed the habit of automatically unchecking the "Notify me by e-mail if someone answers this message" box. I got tired of having the kiddies spam my inbox with their pointless attempts at insult. Sometimes, these days, I make a conscious decision to re-check it.

Nope. I generally have to page down in the forum ... and so, of course, I rarely go many pages.
