A "last word" about what happened with Den tracy:
Nobody of you should consider him/herself guilty for what happened because it was my own decision, I explained it privately to some of you but I'll do it publicly.
- In this site everyone can express their opinion, but there are exceptions, and the exceptions are for moderators and administrator and the reason is obvious: a "moderator" should "moderate" and an admin should "moderate" and "administrate". An user's opinion is only an opinion, an admin/mod opinion, in a certain context, express the line of the site.
- An administrator should be present on the site, nearly sometimes.
Den Tracy expressed a lot of times his intention to leave Posetteforever and the
Poser world and it is (obviously) incompatible with an admin status. Personally I left the things as they were because I never believed him but I made the same not only with Den Tracy: when another user asked me to erase his subscription because he wanted to follow other routes I erased nothing because I was sure that he would came back, as it happened. But, at last, a "goodbye" is a "goodbye" and you can't be an admin anymore, it would be a nonsense.
As the webmaster I feel the responsability to consider the users all the same, old friends and new ones, so having an admin express his opinion in an unmoderate way and causing the loss of other users I had two choises: 1) Do nothing 2) Free the admin from his duties.
I've done nothing for two days but I continued to think about the situation because something should be made and what I thought that could be the right thing to do was simply to free Den Tracy from his admin's chains so that he can express himself the way he wants: as a "non privileged" user he shouldn't cause other user's loss with his opinions and he can go and come back all the times he wants without feeling bad for his admin's duties.
I haven't banned Den Tracy, I said him the same things that I wrote here.
I have not made a choice for "new users" against "old pal Den", my decison has been taken considering the two aspects that I've explained before and I've nothing personal against Den Tracy, so none of you should feel guilty: I have the full responsability for what has been done.
Those kind of things happen in forums sooner or later and the last decision is of the webmaster, and I felt very very bad when I had to do it even if I had to say that, at last, I've done nothing of too much dramatic, but it seemed to cause Den's loss: I'm very sorry about it and expressed it a lot of times, every time he goes away from posetteforever.
One last thing: please don't write your opinion here, if you want to say something to me about the thing write me in a PM because it would cause a "friend or foe" situation.
As far as I'm concerned I don't consider what happened in such a serious way (as I said) but it seemed to cause to some of you a bad feeling to the site so write me sincerely, if you think that Posetteforever has become a sad and useless place I'll close it and consider the idea a failure.
My apologies

- this reminds me to myself.
so I'll keep it alive and working as long as I can. No matter how many people are here: You have to know that the place is opened, the heater is warm and the beers are cold. I've a part in what happened: not enough surveillance. I thought about it and what should be done from me was to edit and purge myself what I thought was offensive and then PM to the author the reason of the censorship, even it is contrary to the "right to speak" rule in which I believe

Sorry!
