My understanding is the rule exists because some folks will post indiscriminately, then ask to have what they posted deleted or while upset a member will ask for massive deletion of their posts. Both are disruptive to the community. Plenty of others already said this, mods have limited time to do their volunteer work here without having to delete tons of posts. I have never seen any behavior to indicate any of them are sadists. Any time I have been approached about something I said/did in the forums it was done with courtesy and respect.
Like MuseumGhost I've been a member of several online communities. PC is the fairest, most smoothly run of the ones I participated in.
