My understanding it's up to the subjective judgement of Lud/Queenlives. There is no such thing as "perfectly fair" as that is subjective to each individual. In lieu of thousands of differing subjective opinions of what is fair, Lud felt that Queenlives had a fairly neutral and balanced one and should be allowed to use his basis of fairness as the standard. Based on his posts, I would have to agree. But realize by that nature, there's no way that everybody will perfectly agree with his definition of fair. So you and others will always disagree with his position on fairness and deletion; it's bound to happen. But it's a small price to pay for such an awesome group. Don't forget that while today some people may not agree with his deletion policies, others may appreciate them. Also understand that this will blow over in a matter of days, yet Queenlives does a very good job of moderating every day, all the time. It's a thankless position, like a moving company. Nobody says anything when you do your job, but if you drop or break something, they are all over your case. You should cut him a little slack, knowing that no matter what decision he makes, SOMEBODY won't be happy with it. Today it happens to be you, but if the decision went the other way, it would be someone else.
Think of NSX Prime as a really awesome club, where the women are hot, the alcohol is free and there are lots of cool people around all the time. However, the club owner has some weird rules, like say, no cussing. You go in and say, "damn that rule sucks" and the club owner says "hey, no cussing or you are out!" Now you can argue with the symantics on if "damn" is a cuss word or not, but the point is, it's his club not yours and if you want to stay, you need to play by his rules (even if he decides to change it at any time). Remember his club is his own private club and not a service he owes to anyone. If you don't agree with the rules, you are more than welcome to leave, but would you really want to give up this awesome club, with hot women, free booze and cool people, just because you don't like his policy on cussing? If so, I'd say it's more of your loss then theirs. Sometimes you have to take the good with the bad, and I would think this "club" has a lot more good than bad.
Look, I've been warned in content before and had my posts deleted. But ultimately I have to remind myself, is it such a big deal? So what if nobody heard my side of the thread? After this thread fizzles out, who really goes back and re-reads these threads any way? It's just a flash in the pan and for the most part (like yesterday's lunch) after a few hours, it's forgotten. Besides, do you think anyone will remember what you said? Nobody is going to change their opinion on something based on a post in some thread. I could be pro-Obama, anti-Obama, Pro-Bush, Anti-Bush, Pro-Kittens, Anti-Kittens, but ultimately who cares? It's not like someone is going to say, wow, based on Vega$ NSX's post, I'm now going go from Pro-Kittens to now hating kittens. Just let it go, thank Queenlives for doing an impossible job, and move on.
Might I suggest
