I would just like to say that the adab in this thread has been appalling. It is disconcerting to see respected senior members behaving so disrespectfully with each other.
Shaytan is an avowed enemy of ours and he will do anything in his ability to sow discord amongst us. May Allah protect us from his ploy, ameen.
Wa alaykum salam,
Aameen to your dua. I'm sorry sister Manal and brother Ahmed for my poor adab. I will request my posts to be deleted from this thread.

No need to delete posts; I think we've already got this "post deleting problem" on this forum. Posts always keep disappearing, but of course- that's a whole topic of its own. There's nothing to find offensive in your posts, so I see no reason for deleting them. The matter has been discussed and exhausted, to a point where we met at a point of understanding. I think its better keeping the posts, so that others can understand what's going on.
I'd like to request the moderators to stop deleting posts, unless absolutely necessary. Threads can be closed, if the topic is being derailed, or any problems occur. I'm sure you all know the rules, set in the FAQ, better than I do:
Moderator Guidelines
Moderators are in a position of authority on this forum and are expected to set a good example for others to follow.
1. Watch over their respective forum and ensure that people follow the Forum guidelines.
2. Move any posts that do not belong in the forum to the correct forum.
3. Ensure the forum is free malicious remarks
Moderators are expected not to: 1. Replace any text in someone's post unless it violates the forum rules.
2. Use the power to carry out any personal issues with others.
Moving Threads: Any threads that do not belong in the forum, and are better suited somewhere else, can and should be moved.
Deleting Threads: Threads should rarely if ever be deleted. They should instead be closed.
Closing Threads: If a thread is getting out of hand with beef and after warnings doesn't look like it will get back on track.
If a thread has become a giant freepost.
If the thread is inappropriate.
Moderator Complaints If people feel that they have been treated unjustly, or feel that a moderator is not doing his job or is abusing his power, they are encouraged to contact us.
Now, ^ this guy, is simply a prime example of someone who deserves to be banned. Permanently. Via IP.
I'm another example; its rare (for some strange unknown reason) to find people speaking up to moderators, to read the FAQs.
When I joined in early 2005, it was difficult to find that a moderator has deleted someone's thread or post. Now however, it appears that moderators like to test their abilities more often. I understand that much has changed, but some things were better, before they changed. Now, the normal users are reminded to read the FAQs, when its evident that moderators are forgetting to read the guidelines themselves.
You were around when spamming was legal/promoted and I wasn't a mod then, so there was no power misuse. You should have stayed a bit more and you'd have loved it. To assure you, such pranks WILL be repeated from time to time, to create lightheartedness.
I am quite annoyed by the recent arguments here^.
The question here was about the pranks, and there you shifted to questioning moderators' actions publicly, remind yourself of some more forum rules. We have a separate section to test our abilities and so we don't do it out in the open.
My point wasn't for your annoyance, it was to remind people- of some obvious facts. I wrote it in reply to Bedouin's request for his posts to be deleted. Details are already given, in the moderator guidelines. If that no longer applies, then an update to it maybe necessary.
As for the pranks; the choice is yours- I and two others were merely pointing out the difference between right and wrong. By no means can we influence your decision, nor need to.
