In Opposition To Censorship

Feb 26, 2012 Pizzasgood link
There once was a thread
About a spy who was red
Who created a guild to build ships.
Then to FAMY he wed,
To his guild became dead;
He was ditched like a stale bag of chips.

The guild bank they kept;
The red spy, he wept.
And onlookers recorded the show.
Jibes and mockery swept
Across the comnet
And on the forum the story did go.

Not very long later
Some dumb boring hater
Deleted the whole thing right off.
Was it our meddling curator
Or the post's originator
Who dumped it straight into the trough?

Regardless it's lame,
This censoring game;
Pretending that it never happened.
I've got news for you Jane,
I remember it plain,
And my voice is not easily dampened.

TRI is now led
By those who're not red
And bred in the art of the lie.
But hidden beneath the bed
By the morally dead,
Is the story that details the why.

We all have seen worse
Than this newbie's hearse.
Flames insults filth and drag.
So don't censor the 'verse
Like some scum-ridden curse.
Stand up. Wave fresh news like a flag.

The thread had hardly began
When they enacted their plan
Hoping for this news to dwindle.
But this flame I'll fan,
For I'm a rhyming man,
And you cannot stop my signal.

I just have to say;
In this very creative way;
That my life is not here for your pleasure.

I started a guild;
Because I wanted to build;
Not go after your ores and treasure.

It's been bad enough;
after enduring this awful stuff;
that I had to return to FAMY.

The least you could do;
[Itan] and your crew;
Is award me the VO Grammy.

there once was a post
from a Nation War Host
About a Red spy

That spy made a guild
and started to build
Untill he was killed

He wnt to FAMY
and won the Grammy.
From the poem he said

That spy is not dead
and still not wed
but he is still red

I'm not much of a poet, but I do feel the need to get on board here. There wasn't anything in that thread that called for just disappearing it; that's only appropriate for spam or blatant harassment. This was neither.

Of course, plenty of posts do get *locked* if squabbling gets out of hand, and more than a few rude comments have been edited for content. I don't think this was that situation either. The truth is, I don't know *what* the problem was, but such unusual behavior from the devs, who are normally very hand-off when it comes to player activity deserves an explanation.

I assume this refers to the "Tri Tri Tri" thread. I don't see anything delete-worthy about it either, so I assume the devs didn't delete it. I know that I read the thread up to the last post before it was deleted, so I am going to assume I deleted it by mistake. I have restored it. Please accept my apologies.

Ah, that makes more sense I guess. I was a little surprised, because like zak said, it seemed kind of out of character.
