A moderator not only closed a thread but deleted all the posts under it.
I was a moderator of this forum a few years ago and it was my understanding that unless the post was derogatory or inflamatory in some way that it was ok to post. If the post was in the wrong area it was moved but
NEVER were we allowed to delete a thread or post without a clear cut reason.
Do the moderator's now delete and close post just because "they" do not care for the content?
Before I post any further here I would like to know what rules "I" broke that required that the time I took to post those messages was wasted.
If select posts broke a rule or went over the line then by all means delete "those" posts but to nuke the entire thread?
A guild was recruiting Druids and thread became a discussion about what Druids bring bring to guilds, certain battles and their difficulties and yes.... a few post from me about past "select" guilds recruitment policies toward Druids.
There was no name calling. No rules broken that I can see yet the entire thread was wiped.

P.S. The "thread" says it was moved... moved where?
P.P.S. The moderator stated the thread was a rant thread.... what rants? What is a rant? Posting how Druids were treated in the past is now a rant?
P.P.P.S. If the few parts of the thread that were considered a "rant" caused an entire thread to be nuked.... why not just nuke the bad and keep the good?
P.P.P.P.S. If you deleted every thread that went off topic there would be few, if any, threads left. LOL
