Thread deletion

Just wondering why that SWAT video thread got deleted?

[Matt]

Because it was inappropriate to post a video that uses the death of someone as entertainment.

Not meaning to get into an argument but isn't it really up to the people on the forum to decide that? I didn't see any indication that it was a video that most people wouldn't see on TV, or that it was rated 18+.

But anyway, your the mod so what ever

No respectable news organization would show, fairly close-up, multiple gun shots being fired into a man and him lying down dead. They would report on it, but they would not show the actual video.

And, no, it's not for the forum members to decide. If the forum members were to decide what stayed and what was deleted, there wouldn't be moderators.
