It wasn't. Its not really a big secret you can get any post deleted at any time if you spam report enough for a vague enough reason.
Its abused all the time. Its why these forums frankly are dangerous. Because it seems like nothing is actually moderated, Its just "oh, 4 reports? should i read it... nah, 4 reports is enough, /DELETE"
I think the GM staff was just "Thrown" at the website. Cause i know Baccan is an in-game and Forum GM. Double the work now and probably no extra pay, I can imagine they must not be very happy with it. They are after all, only human.
Pretty much. I've seen posts that *luckily* got SS'd before they were deleted that weren't insulting nor offensive in any way, They simply disagreed with another person. That post got deleted, But the post he was responding to did not, (which was frankly far more offensive).
Maybe its off and on, But I've definitely seen very non-offensive statements deleted by a mod which seemingly the only reasonable explination could be someone spammed report.
Don't they have a list of people who spam report? Why not take that "privilege" away from them?

They should also take away the ability to delete posts.
Too many people want to try to save face and delete their own posts to try to make themselves look good in a week.
"You can't say I said that, I deleted that post, so you can't prove I said that"
"I didn't intent to defame you, I'm sorry you thought that way, so I'm going to delete any evidence as to otherwise."
Actually, if SE actually gets hard on trolls again, it might make this forum somewhat reasonable again.
You're basically asking for every fundamental aspect of a forum to be removed. Next thing you know you'll be asking to take away the edit feature. Just stop while you still can.
Ok, what about the ability to delete more than 2 posts a day?
There might be some reason why somebody would genuinely need to delete a post, but to delete everything one said in a thread, isn't that going to far?
