If I wanted the domain posted in every single one of your posts, I wouldnt have edited my original response to remove it. Use your head numb nuts this isnt primary school. Your offer isn't worth my time, you don't value it.....that's fine with me...move on.
Your little fit of posting a domain over and over again because someone doesn't accept your offer will probably mean you wont be around here long, much like the reputation you have at Namepro's : https://www.namepros.com/threads/chronic-spammer-steven-pilditch.859074/

Seriously, you're the first person to complain and moan when someone is spamming. Most of which you are happy when I clean it up instead of waiting a day or so for admin to get to it, same applies here. Id expect him to respect the fact I removed the domain from my post like many other members on here request. I'm sure as hell if other members are entitled to request removal of mentions of domains then I am too especially with paid membership. On a professional forum id not expect someone to try and post it 30 times out of spite because I didnt accept his $200 offer.
For the record, his posts are not edited I mealy added my domain to the censorship system, I did think about cleaning up the thread and removing all the spam but since it involved me I wanted to remain transparent until admin was able to review. If you don't like it Dave have a winge to admin and he's more than welcome to remove my permissions.

He had no reason to keep mentioning the domain its as black and white as that, If someone wants a domain mentioned in a sales thread, its up to the domain owner.......not whether you think its right or wrong because you think your opinion is better than anyone elses. On a professional forum his repeated attempts to spite another members request given his history would have most likely ended up much worse than a couple of censored words so lets think him self lucky I dealt with it instead of someone else.
Im done here David, If you've got a problem take it up with admin. Maybe if you'd like your opinion of the running of the site to be "considered" you should sign up for paid membership and express your discomfort over trivial matters in the dedicated members forum. As you've mentioned you dislike the way current or past moderators have done things because you are not "in the know".........apply to be a moderator and show everyone how its done.
As far as im concerned a moderators action is an internal staffing discussion or if it needs a community voice/opinion its then taken to the members that support the community.....not for a the local victor Meldrew to have a daily moan about something that may have already been discussed between staff and doesnt need to be announced to the community.

@Adam H you have to admit it got a bit bizarre
If a random member here asked you to censor out a domain of theirs, what kind of reason would they need?
I assume "I don't want my domain posted" wouldn't be enough, or would it?
I don't see what is so bizarre about it, mountain out of mole hill.
I replied to this thread instead of PM'ing the guy, quickly edited "my" post to remove the URL and respond to his PM. Because I edited "my" post and rejected the $200 the guy felt it necessary to mention the domain in public ( for what ever reason I have no idea ) . But in that circumstance you expect a little decorum and common sense, Upon tactfully censoring my domain out of his reply to my rejection and replacing it with "domain" ( which still made perfect sense ) the guy continuously posted to try and get around the censorship thus showing him self to be a bit of a plonker.
People report posts all the time asking for domains to be removed from quoted posts, I don't see what the difference is here. Instead of outright removing it with out permission from admin........I censored the domain so he could then decide if its ok. I should have locked the thread at the same time and put the guy in moderation for being a plonker for admin to deal with which would then have gone completely unnoticed by the unofficial forum committee squad.
Lesson learnt though, I will leave all moderation , spam clean ups, complaints and small edit requests to admin from now on, if everyone has to wait a week or 2 for it to happen so be it. I don't make money or benefit from this place other than a couple of members hiring me to help them in the past. Yet I pay for membership and like to help where I can.
To answer your question though Murrey, No other member would "need" to censor their domain, as a simple request to remove it if they have paid membership would be enough, paid membership allows members to request small things such as post edits as far as im aware. Yet because I wanted to remain transparent I didnt physically want to edit his posts, hence censoring. If had moderated him completely so admin could deal with it...........im sure that would have been equally as wrong but the difference being is that head teacher would have been none the wiser.

It's a little bizarre because as you said, it's a mountain out of a mole hill, but the mountain was built by two 
I only ask because editing posts like that could seem an abuse of power, but if it's a courtesy offered to all of us then obviously that's different and can't be seen as such.

Wasn't edited, so his repeated attempts at saying the domain over and over were auto replaced by the system, I added variants of his creativeness of 101 ways to write the same domain. Thus proving what a plonker he was replying to himself for the best part of 20 mins and confirming that I should have just banned him from the outset given his history.
But as always with this place, in classic acorn style its understandable why no one wants to moderate this place.
For the record, I would have have done the same for anyone else before this and those members that know me.....know I would go out my way to help anyone.........I shall not be now incase I get called out for it and it wastes more of my time I havent got to waste.

I agree with Adam here.
When someone sells a domain name they normally remove the name so it doesn't get found down the line through search engines, so Adam wanted his offer to this guy removed as it wasn't accepted and may want to charge differently for this domain in future so wants no reference to it so he can't be held to ransom by someone saying, "well you were offering it at £xx before on Acorn."
