That's why I almost never post in self moderated threads. I ignore them mostly. People say they'll remove spam but that is usually not what happens. They only remove the posts the don't like. Then what's the point? I don't even need to read what's in the thread because I know that's some coward posting crap and afraid of the potential answers.

That's unfortunate, but I know exactly where you're coming from and I tend to be wary of them myself. I've noticed that whenever I've started up a self-moderated thread I get way fewer responses than I'd normally get if it was just a standard, moderator-moderated one.

Anyway, that is indeed messed up if notblox1 is deleting posts en masse because of reasons not related to quality or being on-topic or whatever. He could have made a local rule (or multiple rules) in the OP and then reported posts to the mods if they violated them. Not great forum etiquette. BTW, what the hell kind of forum is altcoinstalks? Just that name alone makes my head hurt.

With regard to what notblox1's thread was about, I've dealt with Royse off-forum and didn't have much in the way of problems with him, but that was before his reputation got tarnished. Once that happens to some members, where they end up becoming a pariah in the community, sometimes they just roll with it and their behavior takes a turn for the worse. I've seen that happen here before with members like aTriz and some others--and I'm not saying that's what happened with Royse, just stating my thoughts. After the Bitlucy thing, it seemed like Royse couldn't do anything right in the eyes of our critical bitcointalk circles.
