Within 15 minutes, BOTH threads were completely removed. I frankly cannot see any violation of the rules of TOTV in either thread, and the newbie may or may not make a bad decision in choosing services. And to take down a "Hi there" thread from a newbie makes no sense. So, WHAT GIVES???. (We'll see how long this post lasts) |
We are having some system issues right now. When we delete a thread or post and have the time to write an explanation, the system is supposed to send you a PM with the explanation. We found out yesterday that this notification function is broken...I don't know how long it has been broken.
The posts and threads you refer to were made by an overnight foreign troll or spammer. We often find these in the morning and clean them up before they generate too many replies.
Nothing nefarious...we are simply trying to moderate the board in accordance with the site guidelines.
Sorry for the confusion and suspicion these actions stirred up. We will either have to find a workaround or ask for your patience and understanding until the notification problem is fixed.
