You want black and white in a gray area. The TOS are black and white. If it is questionable it goes. You really are quite thick.
The TOS is written in standard contractual language and should be interpreted as such.
Where in the TOS, do you find the language "If it is questionable it goes"? This interpretation is contrary to the Forum Mods' own guideline thread which stated:
" We want an environment where newcomers feel free to post to the forums without fear of being unfairly attacked and where posters don't feel overly-policed.
We want these forums to be as open as possible. All moderation will be made using best-judgment and will never be used to stifle opinion, so long as such posts remain within the boundaries set out here.

If you are not intelligent enough to understand something so clear you will come across as thick. RHP is a private site they don't have to spell it all out for you. This is a catch all phrase that grants them the power to do as the see fit. Either you are to thick to wrap you mind around that or you are a troll. Take your pick.

If the thread bores you, don't post in it. See the thread referenced above:

These threads can usually be paraphrased by one three word phrase..."WAAH WAAH WAAH", so my post was actually very on topic, and as this is a public forum i have as much right to post here as you do.

You are missing the point (I won't bother to call you "thick"😉; RHP has the discretion to remove anything on the site if they so desire - no one is disputing that. But excessive forum moderation defeats the purpose of creating forums in the first place. As a customer (and part of the product) I am stating my view as to what I believe would be desirable for the site and consistent with the TOS and the goals that were stated for the forums. Your snotty attitude aside, I believe my view is more consistent with what the TOS says and what a reasonable person would interpret it as saying.

Originally posted by huckleberryhoundIf the thread bores you, don't read it or post in it. Some customers here take an active interest in the amount of forum moderation and like to initiate discussion of the issue. No gun has been placed next to your temple forcing you to participate in the discussion. The one crying here is YOU.
