Why didn't you re-use your "classics" item to ask the question?  For that
matter, why are you bothering to ask?  You know quite well why it was
killed:  To (try to) prevent your continued vandalism.

Re. 1.  I didn't reuse my classics item simple because I can't reuse my
classics account.  It's a principles thing.

Now, I bother to ask because I don't understand what's wrong with it.  As I
understand it, Grex allows users to enter items.  That's all I was doing; and
I wasn't entering duplicates or anything nasty like that.  Additionally, I
wasn't entering items at any tremendous pace; surely, Grex can handle an item
being entered every five minutes without being overburdened.

This is clearly yet another case of censorship, and I'm the only one who's
incurred any vandalism under it.

When it's a system problem, it's not probably not a censorship issue. If
grex allowed similarly large items posted by other users but not those
posted by you, then it would be a censorship issue.

That doesn't make any sense; it's like saying it wouldn't be a censorship
issue if Grex was deleting posts with certain opinions, as long as it was
doing it to all people who posted them.

Opinions are not a system problem. Large files are.

Non-sense.

Please don't feed the troll, cyklone.

So most Grexers wouldn't be offended if I simply took care of what I perceive
to be vandalism or childish behavior and then simply ignored the complaints
that followed from said cleanup?

Hmmm, I might have to try that.

I'm not sure what you mean by "simply ignored the complaints", kip.
Would you mind expanding upon your comment?

I'm sorry, on my own second reading, I see that I wasn't very clear there.

I was suggesting that after vandalism was dealt with, should I simply ignore
the complaints of the vandals that I'm depriving them of whatever it is they
feel I took by cleaning up after them.

Certainly if they were other complaints from others about my action, I would
not ignore them.

If the 'vandal' asks a question, as in 0 above, it should be answered, as
in 1 above.  General railing and wailing should be handled as you see fit.

Fair enough, that seems reasonable.  I'll try that out and see what happens.
