Does that make the TOS violation acceptable just because no-one may see it? Isn't a violation a violation no matter when it was posted? How can you be certain no-one would read old posts? I firmly believe most of us here read old posts unless we are sitting in front of our computer or phone 24/7. Believe it or not, some people don't follow boards on a daily basis and still want to read the posts they have missed.
If a mod sees a post that is a violation to the TOS, shouldn't they remove it? If it is past the time that they could remove it, shouldn't they also request that an admin remove it?
Invest in your DD and you can't go wrong.
