I feel like my posts were more on topic then those derailing the thread. I don't receive any pm from a mod as to why my threads were deleted. Other posts in the thread they just tell people in bold not to do whatever they are doing but for me? Delete all traces of the post with no comment. This isn't the first time. Every time I post in a thread in videocards and it is in reference to nvidia shills its deleted. One post was like 600 words. boom deleted. Just ban me from the place so I don't waist my time thinking I'm able to interact. Just remember to tell me so I don't bother posting.

I was the mod who deleted both of your messages. For the record, the content was a clear violation of the ToS. The Video Cards forum is not ATOT. Your post violated the following guidelines:

- flaming
- foul language (this in particular)
- personal attacks
- thread derailment

Disagreements and differences of opinion are a part of life in the Video forum -- you are still expected to remain civil at all times, regardless.

Now, the reason I haven't gotten around to PMing you about this incident is that I'm still awaiting a consensus as far as to do about you. This was not a minor violation, imho, otherwise I would have simply left the post where it was and tagged a simple warning onto the end.

First of all thank you for coming out and telling me why you did what you did.

Flaming - huh? I don't even know what this means as my posts weren't directed at any individual but rather a group of individuals. My posts also weren't looking for a response but rather calling for a end to noise machine.

Foul Language - This isn't against forum rules anymore and "stfu" and "ball sack" are pretty mild considering they weren't directed at any individual but rather a group of individuals.

Personal attacks - Is this the same as flaming? See above.

Thread derailment - I was posting because of my concern for the nvidia noise machine constantly jumping into threads and destroying ones ability to gleam information in a word derailing threads.

The forum guidelines as far as foul language are stated in the stickied thread:

6) Foul language in topic titles, summaries or sigs and excessive foul language is not permitted. With uncensored language comes an increased requirement for responsibility among users. Moderator discretion applies.

You actually used three profanities (including one that wasn't mentioned in your above post), which I find gratuitous and unnecessary.

In any case, since this is your first violation in recent memory, we've decided to just let this one go at just a warning.

My key take away point here is that expressing a difference of opinion is fine, but you should do so in a civil manner.
