Very O/T with permission of Leon

I'd like to say that I am as regular of a board participant as anyone here. I read the board everyday, and post nearly everyday. I dont post a lot of threads but when i have they've all been bsaeball card related, and i believe pre war related as well(though there could be one or two, i dont have everything ive written memorized). That being said the morning after smoltz won his 200 game i started a thread in regards to Smoltz HOF chances since he just became the first pitcher in history to acheive 200 wins and 150 saves. I posted early in the morning and had several responses within the first couple hours, later that day i saw my thread was deleted. Now this thread im posting on, which isnt even BASEBALL related has not been deleted. And if the reason is because the person posting is a regular user, like said above by Leon, whats up with that? Am I not a regular user? My post wasnt related to vintage baseball cards, true, but ive seen many threads just like the one i started debating current players Hof chances, and dare i say had Barry, Jim, or someone of the like started the thread, it never would have been deleted. How about MVSNYC's "where'a MVSNYC at" thread. As if that has so much to do with vintage baseball cards. Or how about the thread talking about ARod's hot start this year, or the threads about Bonds HOF chances, or steroid use. In my opinion its favoritism. Robert has a recent thread asking if anyone has paypal coupons!? And that's still there on the main page. My thread was baseball related, and had some interesting debate and responses in the little time it was allowed to be discussed. Better delete that because it'll distract people from reading the threads asking for palpal coupons which are much better reading, not to mention its great relation to vintage baseball cards. If your going to delete all threads not related to vintage baseball cards, fine. If your going to let people post off topic once and a while, fine. But be fair and treat everyone the same. I went through the last 30 days of threads(of which many can be considered O/T) and the handful that i started were all vintage baseball card related. I thought we were allowed one OT thread per month if we are a regular user of the site? Am i missing something here?
