While I appreciate many opening posts break ToS and need moderation, particularly with the increase in drive-by rage posting of late, much of the meta that follows in these threads includes useful discussion on the initial topic.

For example, this evening a rage post thread about DPS performance was deleted, during which several people made interesting points about adopting the Maat gate mechanic from XI to help players better learn their class, away from group instances. This kind of discussion is useful, and should really remain for development to see.

Could you please alter moderation methods to facilitate this? Perhaps simply changing the OP to an infraction message would do the trick?
