I will inform you of the reason:

A post from Racket yesterday mentioned cheaters in great detail yesterday, and though most of the post was perfectly aceptable the names themselves had to be removed.

The policy on this is Trolling/Naming Names (also referred to as Blacklisting - which is ileagal by law) and as policy I removed the names and as the reason for the edit I put the Policy Name in the edit line.

As a good and very active poster who I respect - instead of the 'rubber stamp' message to Racket quoting the post and listing the offense, blah, blah - I sent a simple friendly PM letting him know that I had to remove the names but agreed with the post so all was good This was not necessary - but done out of respect as I watch several posters with great insight into the game and enjoy their comments and posts.

Unfortunately - The policy Edit in the post he has taken personally. This was not the intent - not sent to him in any way in any message.

Now - I will not stand by and allow offences to take place, and this the only time I will come close to explaining my actions to anyone. I consider myself and the other Mods here very fair and in many cases we could take larger steps when I and others for the most part find it unecessary... if the train runs smooth, why hit the breaks

I wish you fair winds mate, and hope that you see past the policy label of one post to continue on.
