There have been a rash of complaints via email and reported posts regarding this issue, and honestly, it's been an issue for a while. So keep in mind:
Racial Slurs (whether 'edited/covered up' or flat out written) will cause a reply to be deleted without warning, and repeated issues with a topic will cause the whole topic to be deleted. Just an FYI --
We're trying not to have to dig through 200,000 posts and clean up the past, but figure that this is a 'from here on out' issue --
Thanks for your support and cooperation --
