Hello Dhepee,

http://www.totalwar.org/cgi-bin/Rules.shtml

We have the ability to remove objectionable messages and we will make every effort to do so, within a reasonable time frame, if we determine that removal is necessary.
..

The staff has also the ability to edit all messages by all users, but we rarely use it in order to avoid misunderstandings as to the identity of the originator of any given text.


Unfortunately, rarely isn't that rare anymore these days. Perhaps it happens more that the rules/good manners are ignored?

I have removed objectionable language from posts too. It's not rare that I then get a complaint that I should leave it there and politely, humbly and kindly beg the author to edit it. Yes right, keep swearing/rants/insults up for days until the hothead cooled down to please edit it.
