Well, I think Im going to just leave this to the mods and admins to figure out how to deal with the rules that are clearly written in the mod handbook,
that had the rules as stated been followed this entire thread would have been moot. So it seems at this point that the mods need to figure out if they are going to be polite enough to follow their own rules. Either way, frizzle, I appreciate the passing along of my situation to the mod that my original post was addressed too, and mind you I only did so in this forum due to the nature of the thread...
I do believe that my original post 'did' fall into the category of Needing some help and a place to talk to the entire BL staff, in the hopes that someone could pass a message along to the 'mod the question was intended for, so in that cause I do not see how my post should have been UA'ed. However whats dont is done and the past can not be changed, so we can move on. I just hope that in the future, some of the mods that were involved in this thread could take on the courtesy of following their own rules just as un members are expected to follow the BLUA that we agreed too when signing up for membership. Nuff said from my point of view.
My intent here was not to entice the squabbling between staff as it appears ro have started. I was just trying to get a better understanding of what I had done wrong to have had my post either deleted or not approved, not cause all of this, however looking back it does seem to have shown a discrepancy as to the mods that follow their own rule as we the membership are made to follow the sites BLUA. Sp please do not take this post personal against any one person, mod, or admins as that was not the case, my intention was to bring to light 'a view from a different POV, one where it appears that the mods seem to be able to live above the rules and we the membership get penalized when we inadvertently broke a rule especially when we had no clue we have done so. People need to be able to learn from their mistakes, not get reprimanded and never told why. Hopefully some good can come of this and it will not come i the form of asking me to vacate the forums.
PS To Address Felix,
I agree 100% and completely. However that is not me, I do not by any means intend to make the same mistakes over and over again, however back to what I had said before, if I am not given the courtesy of knowing what mistake I made, then hwo I am to learn that what I did was a violation as if what was said here is true and not all admins feel they need to follow the Mod Handbook due to the amount of mod work they have too do then maybe it time to make some changes. By no means am I trying to tell anyone how to run BL, I am simply trying to make it easier for all members especially the greenlighters who are more prone to make mistakes easier to learn and understand the rules and there by making BL a far more enjoyable place to be apart of. Basically because of this issue and the way is was handled by some of the mods has made me feel like a second class member and do not feel comfortable posting or responding to post anymore for fear that I may post something that for some may be breaking the rules, and by other mods is perfectly fine. That's not the type of forum I'm comfortable being a part of. If it were not for other mods and admins posting back on my behalf, I would have resigned my membership already.

I do apologize for that, I have been really sick the last 2 weeks with severe bronchitis which nearly turned into pneumonia had it not been for me getting to and spending over 8 hours in the ER getting pumped full of IV antibiotics. This always scares the hell out of me as the last two times I had pneumonia I was in ICU and almost died. Last year after a simple gall bladder removal I was in ICU 2 days later with pneumonia, a collapsed lung and got MRSA in my blood from the surgery. So as I am sure you can understand my mind was a bit down and I over reacted to what should have been a simple thing.
