why was amit_S's thread deleted?

[sanketh84]

hey mods,
just wanted to know why his thread was deleted(sachin,kumble vis-a-vis ponting,warne)? i understand the language was a bit on the offensive type with the b-word used and saying 'racist' aussies was totally uncalled for. i mean u could have warned him about the language. do u think he got the facts wrong? i haven't heard of a couple of incidents but most others was the truth. i'm sure he can vent his feelings in this indian team forum about the match referee deciding to side with ponting's australia with ponting's history compared to sachin and kumble's spotless record. he surely can hope bhajji is acquitted on this indian forum cant he??

Off course he can, but what he can't do is make personal attacks on Aussie players with the use of foul language.

WAT is a family forum that allows children of any age to read (and post if they wish) - and they should not be subjected to such bile.

He also published graphic photo's of Warne in some kind of underwear, with two topless models, again hardly fit for viewing on a family forum.

sanketh believe me this was not a run of the mill Warne v kumble.
A question for everyone interested: Would you wish to let your children see a half naked man, covorting with two topless models on a cricket forum?.Parents trust us to keep this site fit for their children to visit.
The matter is pending Mod Revue.
EDIT:

i'm sure he can vent his feelings in this indian team forum about the match referee deciding to side with ponting's australia with ponting's history compared to sachin and kumble's spotless record.

I agree - but also this can be done in an adult way, I hope you will agree that debate is far better than causing a slanging match, had that post been left up - then that would have been inevitable.
PS: He also called a certain nations players RACIST - this could have resulted in "world-a-team" being sued for libel, and the forum could have been CLOSED down.

Action could have been taken against amit_S, or even myself and maybe fellow moderators for letting racist accusations stand, I am sure any fair minded person would not have wished we risked this course of action to be even remotely possible.

sanketh84 asked a question, and I hoped I came some way to answering his concerns.This is not normal procedure on a cricket forum.

I hope I have gone some way to meating sanketh and others concerns.

Thank you.
