Butch… you’re always a beacon of civility amongst the tumultuous seas that are the forums.

Too add to what Butch so simply put, there are cetain instances where a mod/admin might need to intervene and read PMs (threats sent between individuals, illegal transactions that might threaten the board as a whole, etc.), But to delete threads and PMs in an attmept to keep competition down and draw customers in… that’s just wrong. Absolute power coruptes absolutely.
