I completely understand that...however, why wouldnt the moderator tell the reporting member to go through and report all of the non related topics, instead of just one. If you single one out, and let the others stay...thats discriminating by someone, somewhere.

If the moderator doesnt want any unrelated topics on his forum, he should get rid of all of them...not just sit around and wait on people to report them. He must also use some form of judgement. More than likely the person reporting did not like the topic and just decided to report it...or for any reason...Is the moderator bound to remove any topic that is reported?

In order to retain some form of dignity, the moderator should either:

1. Get rid of any threads that contain foul language, are non RC related...etc.

2. Issue an apology to the offended and correct any wrong doings.

If you posted a thread, about anything....and the moderator locked it....and overlooked others that are doing the same thing that they locked yours for...would you be upset? Doesnt matter what the thread is about....if there are ten or a hundred others just like it that are being left where they are for months or years...you wouldnt like it.
