As we are a friendly place here, yours have not been deleted (yet).
Well since you ARE a mod, and you haven't acted like my father yet, and I totally think your media work is top notch, by the way, what exactly is cross posting? Because I was smart enough to use search to seek threads about screen rotation. I found a few, but none directly pertained to the N900. I didn't want to pose a question there and hijack the thread, so I posted asking those with pertinent knowledge to help me out in a dedicated thread/Brainstorm.

How else should I have done it, especially with zero help in the way of guides around here?? I didn't have any disruptive intentions, and I didn't post anything else in the threads. How do I know who knows what and how to engage them for advice? What good does a brainstorm do if it can't be found without you directing them there?

I actually posted in my own community about the mentioned brainstorm. I'm working on self help, but I did ask for help! Know what I got? "Go do something about it!" How can I know I'm breaking a rule if the only people able to help are only willing to do so if it benefits them, or are willing to attempt to block and campaign against you getting help?

Some of my posts HAVE been deleted, or they're hard to find. I made some comments to a couple of guys in the heat of a melee that I wanted to remove, and they are already gone. Why, as a mod, are situations like that allowed to fester in the first place?

I'll be the first to say I dug into a few guys I found downright rude, but if you allow the guys to call people idiots and treat the incoming people here they way many do, why would you expect less? Everyone is ready to tell me how wrong I am, and I'll probably beat you to it, but you have to stick up for the new guys just as much as your rude cronies. Don't tell me you can't cross post and thread crap, as they say, but you can call people out of their names, treat them like dirt, and attempt to lock others out of the use of the forum services!

Do you think that is a good environment for this forum? Is that the type of atmosphere tolerated by the mods? Because if so, let me know. I certainly won't tolerate it. I have adjusted my attitude, but the same jerks that ran lips before still do. How many posts must I have before I can call you an a..hole and whatnot? See my point?

how about now? it SHOULD be that a user DEMAND that I acknowledge something I don't know? How do I know who to listen to? I won't ever listen to someone that approaches me like a jerk. I think you're letting your friendships with some of the members here get in the way of impartiality. I could be wrong, but I wasn't attacking anyone unprovoked. If you knew me, you'd know I'm not about that at all. But as a mod, you have work to do, in my opinion. I'll be your scapegoat, but now it seems like you're condoning the jerks and blasting me for being one back.

We don't need to clog up the forum with debates about whose posts might conflict with rules that don't (yet) exist.

emails from who, your friends? I don't even know who the mods are, or their email addresses. Maybe you only know part of the story. I'm getting heated just writing this, and I ask that you be even handed when you do decide to deliver any justice around here. You can't have guys running around with that, "I'm not leaving until you acknowledge me" crap. If you have some authority, ok, but how do I know, and why don't i have that authority?

bunch of bs, bro, gotta admit. You should PM me and give me a call. I don't think you know exactly what has been going on lately.
