In this day and age, with all the sickos out there, you need moderators (they deserve more respect than being sneered at as "police"). If we were "self-policed" by folks with no power to "zot" the vile pictures posted this morning would still be up, wouldn't they!
BTW, the Admin Mod just posted the guidelines to posting on this forum, and they can be found elsewhere as you well know. You are trolling for flame wars, pal.

Anyway, I thought I would take the time since a false charge was made (that tons of stuff gets pulled) and list all the threads that have been pulled since December 29th, not including those posted by returning bannees , those pulled per the request of the poster (usually because they messed it up and wanted to post it over), and not including those pulled for being duplicates.
On the 29th: "Hitler, All Too Human", a vanity by a newbie defending Hitler.
"E-Gold Accounts (Vanity)", a solicitation.
"Deomcratic Underground on the warpath", pulled because we don't want the forum innundated with threads about the strange views of the DU crowd
"2030: Looking Backwards [Catholic Theocracy in America]", anti-Catholic bigotry,
"From science and computers, a new face of Jesus", pulled by Jim for being flame bait nonsense
On the 30th, none.
On the 31st, "NEED HELP FINDING A ARTICLE ON ELIJAH WOODS", a one line vanity claiming Woods is gay
"Help Save Martha (vanity)", solicitation.
"Sixpack's scenario on America's Fate...", advocating sedition
"WHY DID MY ARTICLE AND MY POSTING PRIVILIGES GET REVOKED", by the guy who was advocating sedition

"Those who refuse to learn from history are condemned to repeat it. (Bush=Hitler)", propaganda.

"Study: Married men have less testosterone than singles", Jim pulled this thread because it was getting way out of hand and not really relevant to the site charter.
"Before you gotta go, think of the possibilities (1/3 of women ages 35 and 44 delay urinating daily)", inappropriate for the forum.
On the 2nd, "The Threat To American Life", bigotry.
"'ARTIST' EATS BABY ON TV'", gratuitous.

On the 3rd, "Conservative Database available!!!", solicitation.
"Why Isn't Randi Rhodes Syndicated?", advertisement for a liberal talk show host.
"Identity Thief Returns Identity To Victim; Claims To Have Been 'Scared Straight'", unsourced- poster was requested to provide the source.
"Las Vegas opens first gay resort", Jim pulled for being gratuitous.
"Boycott China", one line vanity that should have been a reply to any number of threads instead of its own thread
"Maryland State Police Reach Deal On Profiling Agreement Targets Race-Based Searches", offensive language.
"Think Hard", propaganda.
On the 4th, "Dear Fellow Americans:", solicitation.
"an open letter to the people who are spamming this forum", pulled by Jim.
