Really makes you wonder what the tipping point was that caused the deletion.

Attack the devs (early part of the thread) go right ahead the worst is your stuff gets deleted not the thread that housed it briefly

Open homophobia again go right ahead only your stuff will be deleted and associated stuff with the comments, thread remains fine.

Circle arguments are fine as they abide by the rules of being on topic and relevant to ffxiv doesn't matter if same posters they ain't breaking no rules, thread should be fine.

Hostility and trolling, posts get deleted not a thread especially one that size.


All in all it actually does not look good on the moderation team here, it was a big thread, it had the most likes of any thread to ever and probably will ever appear on here, not even female Viera threads got that high, it had some of the worst things but also some really nice things to come into it yet it was there for over a year, new people occasionally popped in to support it as well or leave a message.

Nothing in that thread in the last week was anywhere near as bad as the early parts did with people attacking the devs, the open homophobia(using actual slurs and discrimatory behaviour not a troll who is skirting the line) that a certain poster showed that got me my only ever temp ban from forums because I rightly blew up at them, for the moderators to take action just now is concerning. This is one of the times they need to be clear why such a thing was taken down after so long even if it is just to the OP of the thread.
