I have checked on old thread which was in Google search and I see it is now gone. I remember it because KING posted to it and when I check the topic listings I see that KING's posts are not showing any more.

Is this idea of moderation simply editing or deleting some specific posts by KING or simply deleting everything topic he has contributed to

Since when does moderation involve deleting everything posted by a person instead of just deleting and editing the posts?

This is simply destroying a lot of work other people contributions just because of a single person and it makes you wonder whether those seeking to undermine the forum are just using KING as an excuse.

If that is the case the Tukuler was a better moderator than the one responsible for this

On further investigation it seems that everything topic he started has been deleted but those he contributed to are still there.

As it is in the last few months that his posts have been showing signs of excessive paranoia shouldn't just the recent ones have been deleted instead of everything?

And if he claims to have been wrongfully arrested and jailed by the police why doesn't someone ask him for a case number from the relevant police force or courts to see what legal recourse is available him.

If the guy is mentally ill is it wise to shut of one of the few avenues he has for communications or social engagement? After all anyone could see that most of his posts were the rants of a person off his medication, assuming he had any at all.

They deleted everything because they probably didn't want to comb through thousands of posts to see if he said anything MORE that was possibly illegal. They're probably more concerned with keeping the site around for ppl interested in research than going through what were probably thousands of posts of one individual.

He was calling for violence towards police if memory serves. The site does not want to get shut down because it seems complicit/endorsing of that behavior. The site's mods didn't step up to be a therapist to anybody who shows up, they're here to make sure the site isn't shut down over behavior or speech that might not have been legal to begin with.

For the record I didn't remove any of KING's posts. Sam must've did that after Cass did that imagebomb blitz of cop pics and fbi threats. Though I do agree with getting rid of the cop threats, those were unnecessary.
