I think deleting that Dan guy's thread was a mistake. It started out with a serious question on a serious topic, one that needs a serious reply.
Unfortunately both the terb community and Dan quickly decended into name calling and childish behavior. Plainly he was over the top and deserved his ban.
However I think deleting the thread can't be good since it gives the appearance that there is something to hide. I think damaging allegations like that need to be dealt with in the full light of day.
If I were a mod here I would have posted a reply to the thread denying the allegation and stating terb policy, banned Dan, and then closed the thread.
Just my $0.02 but this is a sensitive topic and it needs fairly sensitive handling.

Fuji the thread was put up by this guy to create the kind of whacky dialogue that quickly happened. It had no value, and I believe this issue has been dealt with in other threads.
I would not be surprised if dirtydan was the guy running the other review board, and was just trying to stir up shit here and scare away new members.

I think it was because Sheik had already explained enough and did enough talking in his previous threads regarding the topic there was no need for another explanation as some other fools would pop in "join date: June 2009/July 2009/Aug 2009" and do the same thing, same explanation, and again and again. Let's move on and have a beer.

You would think so, but often the opposite happens, where a thread gets page views and people doing drive by reads take it seriously even if there's no validity to it. It's a fine line for mods. (note to Sheik: You gonna put this sign of "respect" in my notes, dude???)

Even you tried to have a calm, rational discussion and he made accusations towards you.
Not sure if you saw the other threads he contributed to, but he hijacked other threads that had nothing to do with this subject, he also created threads with a photo that he claimed was Shiek and photos of a house that he claimed to be owned by Shiek. He was using names, not terb handles.
He was firing off accusatory threads as fast as he can until his banning, which he knew would come. terb is a "secret society" of sorts in that the overwhelming majority of us would deny our memberships, so as a result, it's easy to post a cluster-fuck of accusations without fear of retribution.
I don't know what skeletons the terb admins have or don't have in their closets any more than I would know yours or you know mine. Maybe there is something to it, maybe there isn't. And if there isn't any merit to his accusations, I think it's extremely unfair to those having the finger pointed at them and so they have no choice but to delete his threads/posts.
It's only a matter of time before he comes back though.
Well said sir.

This is well said, but the other side of this is that dissent of any kind and innocent questioning is not well tolerated here, as I have learned. I don't have faith that any thread the mods didn't like would last, however honest the questioning. I have said this many times to Sheik and others that when people's posts/thread disappear and there's no explanation and no consideration it tends to irritate people immensely--especially those that contribute to the board. It's always "We're too busy to hold your hand."

He posted pictures of sheik and his house. I think it is fair that he was banned and the threads where removed.
