Gotta be the greatest theft ever. A 176lb gold bathtub, from the tenth floor of a hotel, with no one seeing you.

    Perhaps they wanted <b>privacy</b> while taking baths. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

    Good point, but they could have hid them during hours of operation (since this tub was not used 24/7). <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink-fix.gif" />

    Unless you own a smelter it's going to be hard to offload a giant gold bathtub.

    They probably had a hard time getting up and down the stairs with balls the size they had to have had. What a great story.

    Why would i get moderated? We're talking about gold bath tubs, and I'd say that, since I prefer showers to baths ( I never take baths ), I'd much prefer my shower to be made of solid gold.

    You also should read up on what censorship actually means, moderation != censorship.

    I've been moderated many times on these boards, I'm certainly not above the law.

    The back seat e-policing or the cynicism? I can't quite tell unless you specify.

    I was debating about keeping this open or not but since we have left the original topic, I think perhaps it may be easiest to go ahead and close it. There is a correct way, and an incorrect way to deal with things if you disagree with how something was moderated. The correct way, would be to contact the mod who did the editing (which would be me in this case) via either forum PM or IRC or even Email if you choose that way and discuss with them their reasonings behind their actions and resolve things that way. If you disagree or are unhappy with the result after discussing things with that mod, then the next step would be to talk to the next tier which in this case would be Comprox or Mouse. The wrong way though is to interrupt a thread to point out that you've been moderated and protest. This will only succeed in causing people to become tired of you. I think most of the comments on the original post have been made so I will lock this now.
