Moderators on this forum are very few in number and volunteer their services for no reward.
Posts can sometimes take a few hours to be approved if no one is available .. it is hardly a matter of life or death.
With regards to my post yesterday regarding the Arctic 252 updates, yes they could have been attached to the original thread, but I did not do so. Why? .. because the last post there was one month ago, it was buried half way down page 3 of the forum and I missed it!!
Your attempt to then force a non issue by posting a response in the old thread instead, actually alerted me to its existence, but by then too many people had already viewed the new one and it would have caused more confusion to take it down. Hence also the reason your post was rejected.
I am afraid it is as simple as that. No deliberately breaking the rules, no one law for them and one for us and no "manipulation of the board" as you so eloquently put it.
Most folk are more than happy with this forum and the relative ease with which they can post here. We do our level best to keep it that way and while at times it may not be absolutely perfect, for the most it works just fine.
