All? Are you also referring to the posts that had nothing to do with S&S?

Does that mean I can create anything as long as it is not a defaced copy of an original? What about the 'Icing Space' cover & the mock-up book. They were deleted too! They had nothing to do with S&S and they did not breach your own rules.

I see! It's OK for him to break a rule written by you and that is written on the site to read, and be allowed to do so, but if I have some fun with it (to which there is no rule written) I am the one deleted.
Seems like pretty stuffed logic to me.

Isn't there more interesting or important topics to talk about.
Shame on you all.
To use your own husbands words "Some call it humour, others call it defacing and in bad taste". Well Kate, some people may call this thread an unimportant topic, others call it important! You choose to call it unimportant BUT it is important to me! Or don't you consider others points of view or their feelings. If you find it uninteresting: don't read it!

Mike, thank you for the email today. No, I don't "have something against you" except the consistency of what is acceptable and what isn't in the site. So, it's not a personal thing. it is an Administrator thing. You leave in posts (and threads) that break the rules you wrote, but delete posts that don't.

Again! Yep, again. This issue about blatant advertising was brought up many months ago and the same conversation ensued (we must define what is advertising yada, yada, yada,), nothing was done then and it was allowed to happen again.

Good! So just kick back and enjoy it and stop deleting the stuff that doesn't harm anyone. You only needed to delete the 2 altered S&S covers, not the whole thread!

I would like to thank those that sent me the many, MANY emails and PM's in support. Mutiny is afoot! : (that is meant to be humour! not a real Mutiny)
