Since you are asking for feedback...
A quick fact: Whiteblue is the poster with the most posts. A quick look to member statistics reveals that this has been achieved in about half the time than for most other heavy posters. Interestingly, the same look also reveals that he is likely to lose the "race" to the first 10000th post...
Anything that happens to your posts is bound to be magnified 9000 times. The same way that football teams that spend a lot of time attacking are favored by penalties more often than defensive teams. The more time spent in the area of the other team, the more penalties there will be. The more posts made, the more posts that can get moderated.
That said, the person with the most posts in a forum is never the one making the most insightful posts. The filter for when something is worth posting is obviously set lower than for other people.
Whiteblue: You are the best googler in this forum. The same way that CrucialExtreme is the best image finder right now, it makes you a valuable member. You can find quotes from the past that nobody else can, you seem to be able to find links between two events that would otherwise remain hidden to most people. That said, you seem to find a lot of gems and a lot of crap. It goes with the territory of making the most posts, and it is not always easy to distinguish between the two. You also often give the impression of having an agenda, but that is only my personal opinion. In this particular case, the first post is quite legitimate if you feel like that, the title and leading poll can only be described as sneaky in view of the real subject at hand.
I personally have followed with great interest your betting odds threads. They are nice, they are thorough, they are informative and they most definetely belong in the off-topic section. Moderation is very loose in the off topic section, there almost everything except insult goes.

Posts that are in accordance with the rules, are respectful with the other users and do not violate the rules for posting in particular threads (car development , race threads) should be protected against deleting and copy pasting to another place. That has always been the policy on this board.
Do you realize that what is appropriate in particular areas of the forum is the decision of the moderators, that that is in the very definition of a moderator?

Do you realize that that is against the posting rules?
Again. You have the most posts in here (you do have 2.75% of ALL posts). That doesn't make you the most important poster nor the most correct one, but it does make you the most likely to attract moderation! It doens't mean there is a crusade against you.
One last note: The voting system is coming. It might be bad or good, I don't know, but it is intended to deal with the fact that there is an impossible work load on the moderators right now. It should have a subtle but steady effect on many things.
Let's give it a go, lets give the moderators a truce while it is being implemented and tested and fine tuned, maybe let's give it a 100 day grace period like it is done for new politicians; and then lets see what the situation is like in the forum.
Rivals, not enemies.
