Here's an ADT poster expressing his/her opinion on the matter

Steph -

I can understand removing posts to avoid hassles, but as a counter consideration, I would hate to see anyone who gets an unflatting post about them have the power to silence the entire community.

If all it takes is an e-mail threatening "further action" to quash all complaints and critical commentary the discussion board (and even reviews) on ADT might take on an un-naturally positive tone all the time.

Snowman makes a great point, but I think - like all others that will read the manipulated ADT post - that he's missing the point. We're in NO WAY attempting to silence the community. In fact, we encourage community dicusssion. What people don't realize is that Steph is preventing involvement by locking posts and banning opinion.
