I believe the mod who deleted the BBV thread will post in here eventually.

Yes. From the sticky:
1. Keep Your Posts Respectful- Racist/sexists/homophobic etc. posts are not acceptable. If you are unsure if something is racist or sexist or homophobic, err on the safe side.
- Do not make posts that insult, attack or threaten someone. Disagreeing with another poster is fine; threatening them, telling them to *****, STFU, insulting them, calling them names and other ad hominem attacks is not.
- Avoid flaming people and arguing back-and-forth, repeating the same points over and over. Save yourself (and us) the headache and just block the poster and your problems will disappear.
- Do not troll.
Use some common sense and treat people with respect and you will have no problems. Posts along the lines of “X is a ****ing ******/douchebag/gay/bitch etc.” will be deleted and result in warnings/infractions/bans. These rules also apply to posting about well-known players. Criticize them if you want, but do it with some respect.
Recently threads about Alan Meltzer and Scott Montgomeryhave been locked because of too many idiotic insults. Lots of threads and posts about Negreanu, Durrrr, Gavin Smith, Gobbo, Dario, Chainsaw, Kevmath, Luke Schwartz etc get locked/deleted.
Usually if I delete a post that insults a woman, I get PM'd a complaint that "how come you delete a post like that because it's about a woman but if someone said that about a man it's fine."
If I delete a post that insults a man, I get PM'd a complaint "how come you delete a post like that because it's about a man but it's fine for people to make misogynistic posts."
If I delete a racist post, I get PM'd a complaint "how come you delete a post like that because it's racist but you let people post anti-semitic stuff."
If I delete an anti-semitic post, I get PM'd a complaint "how come you delete a post like that because it's amti-semitic but you let people post racist stuff."
If I delete a post that insults the French, I get PM'd a complaint "how come you delete a post like that because it's anti-French but you let people post anti-American stuff all the time."
If I delete a post that insults Americans, I get PM'd a complaint "how come you delete a post like that because it's anti-American but you let people post anti-Euro stuff all the time."
So yes I delete, infract, lock, ban for all the various types of idiots ways people can come up with to insult people in NVG. And people always whine about how unfair it is and how their free speech is being violated.
