I do agree Trevor but I assume the thread was taken as a breach of the TOS as it was having a dig at the moderation and it's uniformity. Even so a PM explaining so would be better accepted than just some smart alec remark from a moderator or as in this case a deletion without remark.
The terms of service are just purely an interpratation of these written words, some could consider "Cloud appreciation" Thread as spam and a breach of TOS but having been created by a moderator will never be questioned. To send an explanation isn't asking a lot.
Yes this isn't a democracy until the membership have had enough and walk away and IIS is no longer. A lot of long term members have walked or just sit and watch without comment. This doesn't lead to a good informative forum.
There is other forums around which have gone this way and now have an active membership of one or two. Go look at Southern galactic.
Disappearing Threads.
