Really bro you are going to delete this post because I am trolling and spamming in GD? REALLY!? I can't even comment or express my feelings about what is going on the boards. Mind you, I was posting in GD! Yup, I think the moderation team needs to be cleaned up. ChickenWrap was right all along.

While I think that thread should have been removed, I think the reasoning is off.

The original post seemed fine, although perhaps designed to stir up more drama between ChickenWrap and the mod team than I think actually exists (based on my conversations with him and interactions since that decision was made). While I don't like that as making up more drama than exists makes everyone's lives a little bit harder, it's not really against the rules.

The comments, however, immediately turned into witch-hunting a specific individual, and excessively so. If you feel there's something we need to review, pop over to the Discord to let us know. A thread that becomes a witch-hunt isn't okay though, and the level of clean-up that I saw there means that removing the whole thread was probably the right call -- just not for the reason given in that message.

I'll make sure to bring this up to the moderator in question.

Hmm, ... well, your post (unlike this one, ironically) didn't really have anything to discuss. You weren't really even giving an opinion other than how entertained you were by what was happening. It doesn't actually even suggest that you're in support of ChickenWrap, but that you are enjoying the drama, and the post seems to simply reflect the drama in a way that doeesn't add to either side.

In this post, I can at least discuss if the removal of your post was justified.

I would argue that the board mods should be less inclined to remove / delete posts unless the content is offensive / harmful, or if the post itself is being spammed. While your post IS spam, .. unless you're repeatedly posting it, I see no harm in leaving it up. I think in your case, and in many other cases that the mods are removing posts should actually result in a lock on the post.
