And the ending of her thread with rules, you find: "Moderators are permitted to moderate as they see fit, which means they can infract, ban or delete for things not indicated by these rules if the offense in question is deemed not suitable for the forum." Ignore that part at your own risk.
Obnoxious, one little point you missed: "if the offense in question is not suitable for the FORUM".
Since this forum has its own rules, that apply for fun, then the purpose of this forum in particular, Spam and Game Central, is to have fun. Fun is an ambiguous word that means to entertain one self. If writing as you want to in large letters is regarded as fun, then so be it.
Just so I am crystal: I regard Game Central and Spam as a Forum, Share Something Pointless about your life as a Thread, and this is an example of a post.
The forum in question is regarded for fun. In this circumstance, it would not be suitable to punish someone for having "fun" since the offence in question would be suitable for a forum of having fun.
With that, the offence is suitable for this forum, thus, since the offense is appropriate for this forum, then there should be no issue.
Keep repeating all that to yourself, until you find out you're mistaken.
Unless you're talking about your own Forums elsewhere, of course. I wouldn't tell you how to apply the rules of your own Forums, just like you certainly won't try to do that to the Moderators of this one.

Sure, so long as you keep in mind that this section, while execution may be a lenient approach, it is still not exempt from the primary set of forum rules. :)
I still don't think that justifies removing it. According to the thread I posted, it stated, "this is a board FOR FUN ONLY", so if he wants to express himself and have fun in that way, I don't seen why that is a problem.
We don't want people to start thinking it's OK to make posts like that all the time when it's not a desired use of the forum. You're welcome to interpret the forum rules however you like, but disagreeing with how the moderator team has intended the rules to be meant does not mean you (or anyone else) is exempt from them.
And just to add: It's not much of a problem, which is why it was only removed and not infracted for. Also, I don't know if you saw, but the formatting was removed from the staff post he quoted sa well.
The guy wrote a post in larger letters. HOOOOLY SMOKES you people treat it as if Jesus himself came down from the heavens smoking a pack of Black Stones.

Shush. That was the least of it. It might even have been left alone and overlooked, if someone didn't try to come herp-derping with semantics to tell the people who wrote the rules how they can be applied. If "Jesus" came down I'd be looking for some nine-inch nails, so the situations hardly compare.
Lol all go on about infractions but what do they actually mean? And do they serve any purpose here whatsoever? The fun in this place has left long time ago now i think. I wish the old forum people would come back or even some funny people start posting, used to be so much better a few years back now its just this thread and the pvpers Q.Q.ing sad times :(

Taking a shot at other community members to cause drama between two people is disgusting behaviour.
Secondly, Adeptiss already acknowledged it was "breaking the rules", so by your theory, you could argue this person could of alerted the moderator to reformat his post.
According to your principles, anything is possible. I find it outrageous how you indirectly blame me for their post being reformatted.
