I'm not seeing why the thread and Puzz's posts are such a problem to warrant this ... and I'm surprised because the staff taking action has generally had a "hands-off" approach to moderating.

Consider the contributions that this patron has made over the years--I can think of few individuals who have spent as much time, thought and energy on forwarding TW here at the org or elsewhere, aside from the game-makers themselves.
Exactly. I second that. And for the same reason I'm still quite irritated that his posts were deleted.

Sasaki, how could you consider Puzz3D's posts as spam? He posts his opinion about Shogun in the Sword dojo at totalwar.org. Isn't this the right place?

Just because you don't remember or don't care doesn't mean it is true.
Frankly, the tone in your post comes across as patronising and arrogant. Maybe that is becuase I'm not a native speaker but I doubt so. "Usually I just let it be"?
You could've done better as a moderator in my opinion.
I still think that deleting his posts was wrong and would like to see them restored.

As Tosa says, it's perfectly valid to offer an opinion about a certain title.
If you, as a moderator, think it's getting off topic, there are a lot of things you can do. It should be the last action as a moderator to delete a post, not the first.
I you, as a member of this board, are of a different opinion or are annoyed by Puzz3D then you can always skip his posts.
