Forum Etiquette, Moderating and the Report Button

I've been moderated - why?

Your posts may be moderated if they are in the wrong place, considered inflammatory, or ignore forum guidelines.
Moderating of posts includes moving your post to a more suitable thread, removing of posts from view, editing titles, fixing links or removing NSFW content (though we will not purposefully change context if it can be helped).
Legitimate threads that veer off topic are moderated to get it back on track.
Picture threads are for pictures and comments about the pictures, not to start lengthy discussions, use the SPAM thread for any random posting and discussions.
Off Topic is not a free for all where it is no holds barred. General silliness and jest is encouraged, but take it too far and it will need to be moderated.
When threads and discussions begin to turn into a war of words, posts and threads will be moderated.
Depending on the seriousness and how much time the moderator has, you cannot always be personally informed of being moderated.
Moderator’s best judgement is our practice but understand that moderators are human and sometimes we do UN-necessarily moderate posts, either through a misunderstanding or it can even be a click of the wrong button by accident.
Sometimes good material gets taken out in the process of moderation and apologies are made in advance here. However moderators are not expected to cherry pick worthy posts from out of control threads and there is occasional collateral damage.
Do not get out of shape if you are moderated. If you think it was unjust then raise it with a moderator via PM and they can look up the justification and discuss it with you in an adult fashion.
