They said they would PM us when I asked in the other thread... mine have been deleted as well without contact.
I too havent seen mods on any other forum do this so... nonchalantly. What gets me is the threads that ask stupid 'read the manual' questions are left to blubber on and on.
Fair moderators but the deletions make it seem like a sensitive etiquette forum rather than a cool spot for car guys.
Edit: Proper section or they might delete this too! lol
