Zero tolerance on flaming?

Squinty, without any specific details, it is rather difficult to address your concerns. We will need some links for review.

3. No trolling
4. Contains your opinions on the subject
Is it correct that because your opinion does not match the moderators opinion he should just remove the post, without explanation besides maybe calling you a scrub !
I ask this because in one of your forums this is an almost daily occurence, the situation is such that any new thread which does not match the moderators opinions is closed almost immediately, but now and again they insult those who have posted before closing, and a friend of mine was actually banned permanently for asking the moderator why his posts were deleted in a PM.
I'm asking here as I think if I approached the moderator through PM I too would be banned, if and administrator wants details I will forward them by PM.
I hope this does not get ignored as the forum in question could be so much more active if a little common sense was used. OK, too clear up a few things.
1. Forum specific mods (like me) can not ban anyone. Only super mods (black italic forum name) or Admins (purple italic forum name) can issue bans. None of the above people will issue a perma ban without very good reason.
2. Don't like a mods closing reply, report it to an admin. We have to abide by all the same rules you do. If you feel you've been treated unfairly, take it to an admin.
