Mostly natural talent but honed by years of practice. There are a few ways I could deal with a rule break in the thread (or generally) 1) have a word directly, 2) issue a warning/infraction, 3) suspend the poster. I used a bit of discretion and opted for 1) as it gave me a chance to explain even if it was more terse than you would have liked.

Jamesblade, Semi-Pro Waster is one of the most calm and dependable members of these boards and I, for one, cannot read anything in the sentence quoted from him that warrants your outburst.

Comments on how moderation is conducted isn't something I'd normally take personally but thanks for the support anyway. :)

Meanwhile, videos containing swearing are still allowed to be posted in 'Motors', but for some reason are deleted everywhere else on the boards. Why is that?

At the risk of sounding a bit daft it's probably because no-one with the power to edit it has noticed so if you do watch a video posted here with swearing please RTM it and it can be looked at. Sometimes it's also difficult to tell whether it is swearing depending on background noise/quality of sound/accents etc - I don't even attempt to watch every video that is posted so there's going to be lots of swearing in videos I miss. It's also much more noticeable in a static image than a transient sound - sometimes it takes a few listens to identify what is said related to the above point about difficulty in identifying.

Semi-pro waster, Nice post, maybe some Mods are ok after all :)
But could you ever be as good as my old 6800GT cooling MOD ?

See the computer on the bottom far left of the new image?, that was my very first PC.
A Sanyo MBC-550, it ran MS-DOS 2.11 and was outside of the PC spec just enough that if you wanted to do anything with it you have to create the program yourself.
Luckily I won a copy of Compsoft Delta V so that was the database sorted, and I managed to bag a free copy of Borland Turbo Pascal v5 so that was the programming aspect sorted.
I spent many a night wrangling Denthor's VGA tutorials into a CGA environment.

Bloody Awesome.
