Was this the otter thing? .. this was the otter thing wasn't it?This. The mods on these forums tend to favor the people who report, rather than actually looking into the situation in full. I still remember awhile back when a rather vile topic was posted and instead of giving a ban to the OP, they temp- banned the people who posted anything mildly mean and or off-topic that upset said OP. A good swath of the forum was temp-banned for two weeks and the offending topic only went down a few days later after people finally started reporting it. Course that whole thing was another kettle of fish and many of the off-topic temp-bans were in retrospect justified, I was one of them, but the point is that the pattern for mods on this forum is pretty cute in dry. Did someone report a topic or post? Then we'll look into it. A topic is getting wildly out of hand but no one reported it? We're not going to be proactive or step in to try to tell people to follow the rules.
WHERE IS THIS KETTLE EVERYONE KEEPS INTRODUCING ME TO?
I'm pretty sure there was a swear word in there, possibly partially blocked out by asterisks. I vaguely remember him referring to the game devs as that swear word or describing the graphic effect he wants removed using it. Whatever it was, if someone reported it then it just needs to meet a bare minimum of something against ToS to be removed. If it was just a post later in the thread then only that post would have been deleted. Because it was the original post, the entire thread has to be deleted because having a thread without an original post doesn't work.Have you receive an email? I've had a post removed and got an elaborate email warning me and saying which guidelines I've violated + repercussions when I violate again.
I don't remember how you worded it but that MNK aura thread seemed innocent to me, wonder why they'd remove that. Unreasonable post removal would really put these forums in a bad light imo, considering it would be accompanied by next to no mod or dev interaction and no communication in general. Silent removals and no communication is no good for a community medium I'd say.
This is not some grand conspiracy where SE is unreasonably deleting posts.

I imagine being overly and even rudely critical of the development team is grounds for a post being deleted, they are still people. It's all customer service, and I know first hand that customer service reps can be seen as less than human in the eyes of their customers.
Also there's a little envelope thing next to the thread title that displays how many posts were deleted. It wont tell you by who of course. I thought that was neat when I hovered over it and saw that lol.
