You say a mod deleted your post with no, explanation, they could of thought the same as the other members and thought you were asking for a source. So deleting the thread is better then banning you.
Once your thread was deleted you should of stopped and thought could my thread be breaking the rules. Then reworded it, I'm going to say your thread probably fell into the "not another one" category. That's why you got the answers you did. Is that right, no.
We were all new and some still are, but in their rush to be part of the crowd. They think putting people down, will make them look better then the other person, it just shows immaturity on their part.
You make a good point, we don't know who we're dealing with on the net. So threatening people is useless, but with that in mind, you still don't know who you're dealing with when someone tries to befriend you and sell you something, so beware on that end as well.
We all need to remember this is a no flaming board, so lets keep it that way. Belittling people because of a question they ask, shows your character. If you think you're better then people here what's to stop you from trying to take their money? Don't trust people that belittle others, to make themselves feel better about themselves

I catch myself getting frustrated with the same scam-me.com source checks, I even started a thread gave the protocol for doing source check and I'm still getting them. I have "don't ask me for a source" in my sig and I still get people asking me.
