what's going on. almost all of my messages were deleted. ric or whoever is running this. what the hell is going on. why are you deleting my messages. this is a free forum. people in today's world can speak freely if they want. let the people speak. so what if someone says something inappropriate. it's not like five year olds come to this forum. common man, what's wrong with you. if you have the power to edit messages, it doesn't mean you are hype if you delete someone's message. do something creative so that you can be hype and not delete people's messages on the forum. common man, think about it. i am awaiting your response.

You are right, is it a copmuting problem or some anti-democratic action going on?

coa_034, I have been very fair to you. I went as far as sending you an email when I first saw your posts to explain the problem rather than do it through this forum and save you the embarrassment.

I am not going to spend my time editing all inappropriate messages. If you've gone to lengths to get around the built in editor, then obviously the tone of your whole message is a negative one.

Once again, I will say this, and you better read this carefully coa_034. Messages that racially attack a person or country, or verbally abuse someone will not last very long on this forum. Period.

I'm not going to get drawn onto an argument with you either coa_034. I've explained to you now in the forum what I told you in private. If you can't figure it out by now, you won't. It's not about being 'hype' it's about being intelligent.

Be very careful with what you post in the future because your warnings have run out.

This is my only response on this topic… any future negative ones by you will lead me to believe you haven’t grasped the meaning of ‘FAIR PLAY’

i understand whay you say about attacking a country or a person, but can't i say that a player sucks. numerous people have done that on this forum, but when i said that beckham sucks, my message was deleted. why, i ask?

There was one topic that had four or five messages that all but one were bad, including the first one which set the tone for the others... I deleted the entire topic. This is what may have happened to the post you're reffering to. If the topic is still there and your post isn't, then your post was much worse than you remember. Going by the tone of most of your posts, this is probably the case.

You were a bit out of order

Last Answer.... No that was not the topic I was reffering to, although I did delete that topic. That topic was deleted because I got an email with the translation of what you were saying.
