Hey guys,
Just a bit of an FYI. There's been a few outbursts lately about threads being deleted, but since some of you have obviously missed the other times we've explained why, we just wanted to let you all know that when someone is permanently banned from the site, all their posts, and thus entire threads that they created, are automatically deleted. This is an inbuilt function of the bulletin board system that we use. It is not the mods trying to censor the drama, it is an automatic side-effect of banning a troublesome poster. And since many of the drama threads are started by members who end up getting banned, many of these threads are deleted by the system.
The reason this system is in place is because the majority of the people who get perma-banned from this site are trolls. If we have a troll attack and have 50 trolls come in and spam stupid shit in 200 different threads, we can deal with it much quicker by banning them and having their posts automatically deleted, rather than banning them and then spending ages trying to find and manually delete every single one of their posts. Unfortunately this also means that when a long term user is perma-banned, all of their posts and threads will be deleted too.
Hope this has cleared some things up for you all!
