What I'd like to know, though, is why Elaus's threads haven't been deleted as well.
Because he made them with the intention of discussion, no matter how trivial. HSR made his because he had a little hissyfit about Elaus doing it, so he decided to spam the board and drown out everyone else's topics simply to prove his point. I don't care what logic he uses to back it up, or how it would go down in court, I lost a lot of respect for him when he did that.

I agree. Good thing he stopped BEFORE I banned him from vent.

You know there's a reason I haven't been on for weeks, right?

It was never about Elaus. It was about the way these forums are moderated.
You want to make it about that, it's your problem. Not mine. Not Mal's.

No offence to anyone here (and I don't mean to jump into the middle of a discussion), but can't these forums simply be drama-free? I mean, we're all like-minded individuals (To a great extent), can't we just get along?
Quoted for necessary truthiness, dude.

Just like MyTie. xD.
Well eventually you'll mellow out. My passiveness will break you like it broke him.

It's not about you either, so could care less what you do.

Eh, just wanted to mention.
I can understand why you did it, btw.

I know we're all guilty of sometimes wasting too much of our time on the forums.
But...
What should I do at 30k posts? =P
Go outside?

You want to make it about that, it's your problem. Not mine. Not Mal's.When you did it, you said "I'm going to pull an Elaus, just because I can." And than proceeded to spam the forums and annoy a lot of people. That's a personal dig to Elaus, and showed obvious spite at what he was doing. If you're point is that it's not fair yours god deleted and his didn't, your using flawed logic. This is why I'm a semi-anarchist. I hate the idea of "rules" because everything has such a deep context it's useless and stupid to bundle them into a one size fits all. That's how stuff like this comes up. You were trying to annoy people to prove your point about how these forums are moderated, he wasn't. You got deleted, he didn't.

Obviously he didn't, since one of two things happened:
1) He didn't leave room for discussion. You could respond with one post and that's all the discussing that happened.
2) He didn't reply to half (probably more) of his threads, so he wasn't instigating discussion.
If he meant for there to be discussion he would have either broadened his topic or elaborated more.
Whether or not he is in the discussion did not change
1) Umm... Any post could be viewed that way if you want to, as long as their not debates. Are you going to invalidate every non-debate on this forum? The OP brings the topic, the replies bring the discussion. Make sure you know, I am no fan of Elaus's threads either, but I am defending him here with the fact that what he did and what HSR did are different. No matter how trivial, it's still a discussion.
2) What I said above. If someone walked in to me, an agnostic, and my friend, a christian chatting, said "Does God exist?" sits with us for a few seconds before looking at his watch and walking away, I can say for sure that we would have a pretty sizable discussion on our hands.

No it was not a "personal dig to" Elaus, it was a response to the attitudes of the mods. You obviously think you know better, and I have no need to convince you as you have no say in the matter anyways, so I'll just leave it at this: I'm thoroughly surprise people got annoyed. I expected a few laughs, some agreement, and the rest who could care less.

No it was a "personal dig" to Elaus, whether you meant it or not, and also it was a response to the attitudes of the mods. You obviously think you know better, and I have no need to convince you as you have no say in the matter anyways, so I'll just leave it at this: I'm thoroughly surprise you thought people would not get annoyed. I expected a few laughs, some berating, and the rest who could care less.
The problem is that Elaus made a lot of threads that were within the rules, and so you tried to do he same on a much more exaggerated scale, without the idea of actually discussing in them, which is against the rules, and then got them deleted. What's wrong with the mods here? Also keep in mind, that they made the rules. Their not up for your interpretation, their up so that they can get what they want from the posters. If there is a loop hole, that does not mean it's exploitable, it means they should revise it.

Actually, I did. Apparently you were too caught up in contriving your accusations to realize that, however.
Also keep in mind, that they made the rules
You went from saying you didn't believe in rules to now believing in them? At least make up your mind.
Regardless, I have talked to Mal. Extensively. We've come to somewhat of an understanding. You're arguing moot points that are both skewed and false.
