I feel the need to interject as there has been some miscommunication or lack of communication with regards to the thread deletion of "If Your Interested....." and I would not had known that there was further discussion had it not been for me checking Recent Wiki Activity for posts related to the G5 Server issue.

First, allow me to address the reason for the deletion (which I did mention in the email, more on that in a moment). The content contained sexually suggestive comments that not  offended several new members, and these members has children that come to the forum seeking advice and tips on playing the game. Your action, though not intended violated the Wiki TOS (Terms of Service as well as the forums guidelines.  The proper thing for me to do was to delete the thread.

Second, as it relates to the parents and children. It is very easy for us to play this game and come to the forum without realizing that underage children can and do play this game. I am also at fault in that thinking (though my niece plays sometime and my godson used to play, I gave no thought to them visiting the forum because they never had. However just recently, we had a young person try to register to the forum but they could not. Registering to the forum does not preclude them from reading posts and subsequently turning to their parents and asking, "mommy what did that mean?"

Thirdly, to your point about not receiving the email. I can certainly forward it to you or post it on the forum. Obviously the proper thing to do was to address the issue with you off-wiki. But since you inquired through MD, I did inform her of the action and the reason why. Acting on your behalf, I would have thought she would have articulated exactly what I told her to you. Apparently not.

Fourth, your suggestion to move your story to private email is indeed the most prudent thing to do as it would allow you to be more "creative" in your prose.

In closing, and please forgive me for this lengthy dissertation, but I trust that I have provided clarification.

Also please note that your issue is not isolated. There are quite a few that we are addressing and there might be more as new members come aboard and find these various posts and blogs, thus we are bringing on more members to assist in the monitoring.
