Note that it is no use to complain about the rules. They are how they are, and they are how they were intended to be. Guideline: http://support.borland.com/entry.jspa?externalID=293 Etiquette: http://support.borland.com/entry.jspa?externalID=294 Legal Notices: http://www.borland.com/us/website/legal.html When we see a violation, we will often cancel it. Sometimes we will warn the person, but we are not required to. If a person is a repeat offender, I personally will not warn the person again and again. What is considered a violation is up to our discretion. It also no use to discuss this with us. It is bad enough that we must cancel, and discussing a cancel is asking too much. While it may appear that we cancel whatever we personally dislike, this is certainly not the case. We are guided by the rules above. We do see each other's actions, and we will react if we think one member is going overboard on a certain subject, and discuss this internally. Also, when a TeamB member considers a particular post questionable, and is having difficulty determining whether it merits cancellation, he or she asks the other members, in a private forum. This sometimes leads to quite lengthy discussions. So if there is some question as to whether a post could be offensive, the collective opinion of all of TeamB contributes to the decision to remove it or leave it. This certainly can only help lead to fair and consistent treatment. I hope this answers a few of the issues brought up here. -- Rudy Velthuis [TeamB] http://velthuis.homepage.t-online.de Mother-in-law = A woman who destroys her son-in-law's peace of mind by giving him a piece of hers. - Anonymous.

I agree that TeamB cancels posts that are polite and inoffensive. I've experience the same tactic from TeamB when you don't agree with certain members of TeamB's arguments - but yet you are very polite in doing so. I think that kind of behavior is very unprofessional. I do wish TeamB weren't the moderators.
