Right after making the comment, I noticed the post was closed which was good. But now I see my comment was deleted; however the thread remains.
I have a suspicion that the moderator was the poster or a very good friend of the poster based on a similar action I have seen in the past.
Should the moderators identity be known and should they have unilateral ability to delete whatever they want.

I am fine with the way it is. I violated the rules about six weeks ago and was given an infraction and banned for five days. I don't want to do THAT again. I very much enjoy the exchanges here and the fact that none of us can get too nasty or too hateful.
I have at least ten posts deleted a month, because I post a LOT. I have posted on this forum for ten years and have only known the identity of one moderator. She and the forum owner are both from Atlanta. She did a great job, but I am pretty sure she doesn't do it anymore. I have my suspicions sometimes there is a new moderator because the moderation will change a bit, tighten up or loosen up. I have always wondered if it is a paid job.
Hope I am not in trouble for all these thoughts. I haven't had coffee yet and if this is deleted, I need caffeine. It always hurts, to be deleted, sometimes a little and sometimes a lot. But if a thread gets shut down because of your post, then you know you had your foot in it.
