Just to clear a few things up: 1) I don't recall getting a message, but I have had the discussion about me not being in CTWD with 2 or 3 users and I couldn't tell you any of their names off the top of my head so it's quite possible it did happen, I've just got no way of verifying it either way as my saved messages don't go that far back. 2) As moderators we only have the ability to "soft" delete posts. That means they remain visible to moderators of the forum they're in, and to the supermods, There isn't a single deleted post from BigotAlertAnalRimMan in the whole of January/February. If there were any posts in that time then they've been hard deleted, and that means they were deleted by one of the supermods. 3) As far as editing posts goes. There are only 3 of us (plus the supermods) with the ability to edit other users' posts on here (not sure why the comment was edited by CTWD members like DMD and PLT). If we edit anybody's post then it displays at the bottom of the post that we've done so. It would be pretty pointless a mod who was a member of CTWD editing CTWD critical posts to make them non-critical when it would be shown to the world that they'd done it. There may be times posts like that have been edited by mods, but when we edit posts it's usually because we've deleted a post earlier in the thread and we're removing a quote or a response to that whilst leaving the rest of the content on the site.
