Comments about site moderation should be made on the Forum Guidelines thread. We are not in the habit of deleting posts, and would rather not. Frustration is welcome on our forum. You can be candid here. But that comes with some necessary candor. Most people are pretty good at saying, "I am feel frustrated, now here's the issue." Distinguishing between our personal frustrations and the logical reasons for them is the responsibility of every poster.
A personal example, not very moderator like of me. I am frustrated with Les Jamieson over how he set up, promoted, and moderated his event. I have many fact and experience based concerns that I have expressed here at the forum. I can find many reasons inside myself to be angry with him, but that is more about me than him. Expressing anger toward him serves no logical purpose, and in fact diminishes me and the presentation of my legitimate concerns about his actions.
If someone posts something based more in anger than reason, or confusing the two, please do not respond, as the post may be deleted. You can't sit in our sandbox unless you play nice. No throwing sand, or stealing the shovel. And everyone gets to use the pail. We're trying to build a really big sand castle over here. Join us, or don't stomp around too hard.
"If there are sound reasons or bases for the points you demand, then there is no need to use violence. On the other hand, when there is no sound reason that concessions should be made to you but mainly your own desire, then reason cannot work and you have to rely on force. Thus, using force is not a sign of strength but rather a sign of weakness. Even in daily human contact, if we talk seriously, using reasons, there is no need to feel anger. We can argue the points. When we fail to prove with reason, then anger comes. When reason ends, then anger begins. Therefore, anger is a sign of weakness." - His Holiness the Dalai Lama
