Here's an e-mail telling me that my post was pulled, and why it was pulled. Pretty gay if you ask me:

Dear BARAKA,
Your message copied below has been removed from the Discussions about the new GemStone topic for flaming. The GemStone III Forum has a family oriented atmosphere where people can exchange ideas and information without fear of being harassed or intimidated.
I removed your post because it was inflammatory towards those members of the Mentor Society that you were referring to. While you didn't outright mention anyone specifically, those persons familiar with the thread that began in the Mentor Society's official boards folder would be most familiar with one particular person in question. That, coupled with the post mentioning that the poster found your message fairly offensive, prompted me to pull this post. If one person found it offensive and posted about it, the assumption can be made that others found it equally offensive, yet did not post.
Please feel free to repost your message, after having removed those parts of the message that are inflammatory. Simply mentioning the lack of fondness for the society would be acceptable, as would a generalized reason behind that lack of fondness. But phrases such as "OOC snerts", "cranial rectal inversion syndrome", and "OOC idiot" are inflammatory and against Forum policy.
It's important to us that you understand why this kind of posting is not acceptable. If you feel unclear about the guidelines for posting, please read the 10 hints for posting that are prominently displayed on our website. Our guidelines specifically request that members count to 10 and be kind when posting.
If you have any questions about my action in removing your message, please don't hesitate to email me so we can clarify the issue to your satisfaction.
Sincerely,

That's no fun though. Besides, a lot of people aren't too fond of the mentor society anyway, mainly because it's gotten to the point where half the members are OOC snerts that have cranial rectal inversion syndrome. So while the items would go to new people, a lot of people don't want to deal with the mentor society in any way, shape or form to begin with.
Besides, new characters can't hold magic metals anyway.
For the record I'm not bashing the mentor society, as there's a lot of good mentors there. It's just getting to the point where they'll let anyone in these days as long as they have a clean record, even if they're known for being an OOC idiot.

Now what the hell was wrong with that post that got it pulled, when tons of other posts talking about OOC idiots/snerts don't get pulled? Only thing I can think of is that it's cause I was talking about the precious little mentor society. As for this "one specific person" the mod was referring to, I really have no clue what they're talking about. Besides, saying "half the mentors" these days isn't talking about one person. Morons.
