A thread was posted in the past 24 hrs, containing a help picture of how someone had set up the interior of their PM. It happened to contain a view of a shotgun within the photo along with a mention of its type and color.
A Moderator then decided to post a comment about what is and what isn't appropriate on this forum.
Myself and one other member commented that there had been nothing to cause any issues in the original posting.
I also looked for somewhere that stated the terms the Moderator used in his statement. I didn't find anything of the like within the Website's Terms of Use. http://www.verticalscope.com/aboutus/tos.php?site=promasterforum.com
Next thing we knew the Thread had been removed. Where did it go any why???

I don't see anything in these "Terms" that would justify the removal of the Thread and it's photo. If I'm reading this all wrong, I hope someone who decided the post was violating these Terms and removed it will post here and explain what I missed in reading them. In this way we can all learn from this and continue to post Threads that meet the Website's Terms of Use.
Thanks!
Hopefully this post won't be found disagreeable to someone and be deleted also...
