[QUOTE="curiousbrain, post: 803053, member: 31608"] Under ideal circumstances, I would definitely agree; however, with the internet being a remote and anonymous thing, it's improbable that any claim can be substantiated - unless BrownCafe wants to start a peer-review process, which would inevitably involve real UPS time and resources. And to that point, another related issue is that certain people can use their positions at UPS to "check" on certain claims by various people; that should discourage some from making outlandish claims, but then that also raises the issue of whether that in itself is not a violation of the TOS, or at the very least, principles of integrity. Deleting the threads of wild unsubstantiated allegations; makes sense to me. It might not make sense to people unfamiliar with the 'rule' or the context it was made in (this one); thus, it may give BrownCafe an unfriendly face and reduce traffic? Just brainstorming. I am the last person to quote the TOS, as I'm sure I've violated the letter and/or the spirit of it already. So have you, though, and many others; my point is that if the TOS is upheld hard and fast, it might be a very quiet place at times. Not that that is a bad thing, but just thinking out loud. Nothing to say. What is "integrity" in all contexts, though? In certain aspects, everyone can agree that stealing money from your mother is probably not the way to build integrity; however, in other aspects it is very subjective - such as what constitutes integrity in the avenue of an internet forum.
