You really need work on Moderation.

How in the slightest use of the term is a comment proving someone was indeed wrong, inflammatory?

In the instance of your recent deletion, mostly because you dredged up a month old thread for no reason other than to brag about how you were right and the other poster was incorrect. We typically allow the resurrection of old threads only if the comment is adding something valuable to the discussion, but bringing old threads back to life just to rub things in people's faces isn't okay and is, yes, a little inflammatory.

You'll note it was simply a deletion and a warning though -- no punishment was applied.

Yet, it's really not. If it was inflammatory it would have been something more like "I was right, hows it feel to be a a ****ing moron!!!"

Yes it was poking at them cause they were wrong, but do you realize how many threads around here do that, and yet they don't get their comments deleted? Or how many threads continually exist even though according to your "rules" shouldn't?

That would be very imflammatory and have earned you a punishment, rather than slightly inflammatory and, combined with bringing an old thread back for that purpose, enough to earn a small "please don't do this again." There's a critical difference there.

Yep. And, frankly, your comment might have been fine had you not clearly gone so far out of your way to resurrect a month-old conversation just to make the point. It's a combination of both that led to the action.

Now that's just a bit ridiculous. I could see if it was over a year old or more like many threads that get pointless posts in them, but it wasn't that long ago.

From the perspective of a third-party (myself) reading this public thread, the mod seems to be in the right here (beyond being in the position of technically in the right, on the basis that they're a moderator).
