Interesting...

I didn't notice that until you pointed it out. When I read my message (after
it had been approved and publicly visible) this morning, I was too groggy to
notice a difference. I notice they trimmed an off-topic comment on the top
(something to the effect of 'just testing the new boards out'), and trimmed
where I signed my name at the bottom.
I'm not comfortable with this happening either. I think all-or-nothing
moderation is far better - perhaps rejected messages could be held in a
folder for each member, with Administrator comments on what is wrong with
them, and a chance for the user to fix them themselves.
From a pending message about the Next Legend I have, I would expect my
comment, "The Monorail would make the perfect Futuron Legend, even though I
know its re-release is an impossibility. :^(" to be trimmed, as well as my
name at the bottom. While great for the kids, I don't like being censored.
I'm doing a fair amount of self-censoring on the opinions I give to those
boards in the first place. I don't see the problem with a signature line of
your name - I'm leaving out a LOT of things I could put in a signature
(email, website URLs, company name, etc etc).
