I went back, and no more thread. I wonder if that is going to get me sent to the principal's office?
What it means is that you have the power to derail/annihilate any thread on DPF that you so choose to. You have as much power as Vaun Trevi and someone else is doing all the work...

Or is it only RTT threads?...

Plus, I've got this "thing" about badly written poetry produced by a self absorbed jilted lover sitting on their pity pot. She was just asking to be taunted...but I really wasn't heartless in my taunt.

...nope, I am the kiss of death there. I would guess that 70% of the threads on which I have posted have been significantly "moderated." many of them were closed. I am a total buzz kill.

I am rather surprised they did not nuke my 'moderate moderators' post. Steve must have smacked ChrisH around in the moderator's forum.

I've got a ruse... though I probably will have spoiled it by posting it in here. You PM me what you want to post in a thread. I'll go into the thread and "respond" to your nonexistent post by quoting your invisible post in my response. The mods won't know WTF is going on? They'll think one of the other mods is deleting the TFF posts...

The mods, I believe, can see what posts were deleted, hence the ChrisH expression 'not visible to members': I suspect they are visible to moderators. I'm sure one or two others here can confirm that.

By the way, I found out why I was suspended from dpf, or rather, why ChrisH suspended me. When I reported ChrisH to the mods for closing my 'feedback' thread after caling me out, I briefly summarised the import of ChrisH's PMs to me. ChrisH thought that I misrepresented him, and so suspended me. (Actually, he used a phrase other than 'misrepresented', but I have too much respect for the English language to repeat the bastardised phrase he actually wrote, the use of which made him sound foolish, rather than impressive as he no doubt intended.)

I haven't heard from any moderator other than ChrisH, in any capacity. Perhaps the cat is away and the mice are playing.

I am banned forever. I think it is an IP ban. How can I get around that?
