In my case, I determined that my actions were unwelcome, and that I was not a good citizen of the community, with some input from several Forum members, including some moderators. Over the past several weeks, the posts criticizing my image posting seemed to get more serious, and less good natured. I decided that I did not want to be viewed as an obnoxious Forum member, so I made my own decision to only post infrequent, on topic images. I thank those that advised me to tone it down.
Also, with the exception of a personal post on the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross, which I took a chance on getting posted, trying to tie it in to what I call the "Sports Bible Verse" (see signature below), expecting it to be deleted by the moderators, and pleased that the moderators didn't delete until the end of that Sunday, getting me one Personal Message thanking me for the post; I don't recall having any other of my posts deleted by our moderators. They seem to show a lot of restraint, and patience. I think that they do a thankless, but great, job.
I agree with you that it would be unfortunate if this Forum were turned into the NFHS forum. This Forum is much, much, busier, thus providing a lot more information on rules, interpretations, and mechanics, and at the same time, it offers a little bit of fun. Again, I repeat, if anyone knows of a better internet forum on basketball rules, interpretations, and mechanics, that is, better than the Official Forum, please share it with the rest of us.
