RE: MODERATOR ETIQUETTE
Note that he had to send an email rather than a PM while serving notice of his having modded the post because he knew, even as he was writing it, that he was being offensive and that he would violate RCU policies if he used a PM. (the rules for PM's are the same as the forums)
So apparently he is allowed to be offensive in the course of his official RCU duties, just as long as he circumvents RCU's server?
That is just wrong.
Here are a few quotes from RCU's policies:
(Note that there is no mention of deleting images because they are "stupid")
I think that the mods are generally liberal in allowing us some leeway to "stretch" the rules here and there. But I think they have an obligation to hold themselves to a higher standard lest they risk their own credibility when it is time to drop a hammer, no?

Doug,
Almost every time you post you are being rude with one of your pictures. It's possible that he finally had enough?
Maybe you should read this prior to every post:

Just wondering if fellow RCU-ERS would appreciate a personal email from MODERATOR J DUNKER calling a post you made ''STUPID!!!''... Kind of rude and unwarranted in my book.
Here is the PERSONAL EMAIL i recieved... Not even a PM. The picture was the energizer bunny
Same as a bowl of popcorn picture that we have all seen a thousand times in the past. Bet ya none of those popcorn photos provoked a personal rude email stating your pic was removed because it was stupid!!!!...

RE: MODERATOR ETIQUETTE
Thank you Bevar that is exactly what I ned to say about the picture which I have deleted before when that member posted the same picture.
The thread in which the post was with only the picture was made relates to a collision between a fullsize aircraft carrying a passenger and a 46% model at an organised event. It was a serious incident and may have far reaching consequences.
I am going to lock this thread now. Afterburner1 has made his point and others have refuted it.
