I don't get it, but I'm not buying into a conspiracy theory for or against certain posters. It's just not at all consistent and it is irritating to see an interesting thread closed down without warning.

In the past, posts were deleted and writers were sometimes publicly admonished with a note "stay on topic" or "do not talk about other posters".
But that seems to have disappeared. Sometimes posts are deleted without any explanation. Sometimes threads are closed or just disappear.
I don't blame the Mods at all because they have to read a lot of crap and make a lot of judgment calls.
I'm sure there is much going on behind the scenes that we don't know about. And TOTV stays calmer if there is no explanation given - then there nothing to argue about.
So even tho it is random, and sometimes I'm curious .. "did I screw up here", "am I going to get sent to the principal's office", I do believe the Mods are doing the best possible job they can.
