My idea of this question came when Ratimov deleted some posts of his that were so relevant to the community. No one questioned his behaviour in a way of stopping him. That is because he owns the contents and they are his intellectual properties. Having received hundreds of merits for such post, didn't change that fact that those contents were his.

Really? how does someone can ask him to stop it if he want to do it? many users were actually talk about him.

1. Should Ratimov aka Symmetrick be in DT1?
2. Ratimov is deleting self-moderated topics. He now goes onto my Ignore list.

I'm not sure with "those contents were his" if you read Merit Source - Plagiarist

Yes, the forum participants talked about it but no one was able to stop him. No one I mean is the mod or the admin. If it were a forum where the contents posted doesn't belong to the poster, he would have been sanctioned or banned. But letting everything slide made me believe the forum is a good definition of freedom. Even at the heat of the matter, his forum alias was still changed.
I'm not particular about him, but he is the only good example I know that fits OP questions.
