9.1 For some reasons, some of you here have some of the moderator or (co-)developer's email address such as MSN etc as a privilege.

The rules applies to all communication's method including but not limited to MSN, Facebook, Twitter, phone contact number, built-PM etc.
Be warned that we, as the developers / co-developers have to the right to remove you from our contact list or be given a block / report spam (At our discretion, depending on severity) if you pestering us to give you a special preview of your project.
To be fair, this rule will be applied to all developers and co-developers of any project as well, where a developer has the right to remove any co-developers who breach this rule (At their discretion). *Important! (Maybe developers should be de-mod if they breach this rule as well?). This is not saying that you cannot ask us for the latest project updates as we may get lazy to post on forums (If not what’s the purpose of our contact details given to you in the first place), but just don’t pester us for unfinished work.

3: This can be subjective point which varies by each person / at a different time. How to ensure this rule is enforced without prejudice??
We have expected users to know their forum netiquette, and that it is common sense, but there have been some posts where these basic rules have not been followed.
I will be posting more soon.

Rule 5.1: Are we still allowed to use the word 'delected'?

Method 1.
Rule 9.1: Moderators are allowed to close an eye?
Method 2.
Delectable
Etymology
Medieval Latin delectare (“‘to delight’”)
Adjective
delectable (comparative more delectable, superlative most delectable)
Pleasing to the taste; delicious.
Noun
Singular: delectable
Plural: delectables
Something fitting the above description.
E.g.: These include such delectables as cars and drivers, country club memberships and personal use of corporate aircraft.
Delected a double post.
How about we standardize the delected / deleted word using.
Eg: If a post is whiten-ed off, instead of deleting the actual text (Hightlight to white), then we use delected. Otherwise, use "deleted".

Pardon my poor "ANGUISH", but what are you trying to bring out? I still don't quite understand you, sir.
mod note: Don't worry, your post is edited to 'have better English'.

Actually, I mean by delecting posts means by hidding the text where the user can just highlight it to see the content. There is a reason why I highlight it as white colour instead entirely using backspace to remove it.
