I have e-mailed back and forth with PH Flame a bit today regarding the removal of the posts. Here is some of the reasons why they get removed.



1) Talking about removed posts will get a post removed with out question (read fast this post is not long for this world LOL)



2) putting the first letter of a swear word then blank spaces and the last letter of a swear word, or using the dollar $ in place of an “s” in a swear word will get the post removed



3) Off topic stuff is OK as long as the forum is not over run with non-herp related things, so maybe talking about motorcycles and tattoos are ok for now, but we can’t go crazy with it.



4) A post that is removed due to the Violation from #1 will cause the posts that follow it and possibly the entire thread to be removed if the remaining posts are referring to the removed posts.



5) Calling the moderator names and swearing at them gets you in big trouble and possibly banned, don’t do this LOL. Remember that there is another person at the other end of the line, not just a emotionless computer.



6) Sex related posts (say goodbye to Stacy’s and Brenda’s pictures LOL) are a no no.



7) Calling out a scam in the classified ads, regardless of how bad it is, that is also a no no. Use e-mail to notify each other of the scams, or post it to the BOI.



8) Any thing else deemed inappropriate and that is decided by PH Scales (who is our moderator for this forum)



I think most of what gets pulled is because of the swearing, so if we can find a different word to use please do, if you can’t then send it via e-mail because you may cause the entire thread to be pulled. Keep in mind that we must play by their rules because we are the guests here, so censorship is going to have to be part of the game. I wanted to thank PH Flame for getting back to me and answering my questions, and now if everyone has read this…….poof its gone!
