This is one of the all-time great threads with 200 Goods in the post captcha area. Why on Earth has it been closed?

Any update? Thanks.
Looks like it’s still getting deleted. I’ll check in with Kirk. In the meantime you can feel free to repost with a different title and I can copy and paste the three most recent comments (which should have quoted comments too) in there too so you can keep the conversation going.

Can I ask who and why is deleting posts on
it happened to me already once, I let it pass.
But just right now, 15min ago, somebody gave a totally reasonable answer to some idiot, and the answer promptly disappeared?

No politics. Sometime we give threads a chance and leave threads open to see if a substantial discussion outside of political baiting develops. Suffice it to say, this didn’t happen.
Why was this thread modded out of existence? OP deleted, thread closed.

Hmm, seemed fine for the most part to me. Why not move the thread instead of closing it?
Also, kinda hard to have a discussion "develop" when you deleted the OP, which contained the link.

Just for the record I didn’t delete the OP. That was someone else. Though I didn’t disagree enough with the decision to undo it. Like I said, the thread seemed like bait to me but I was willing to give it a chance. And it was left up almost all day, that was plenty of a chance and in that time a good portion of the deleted posts came from that thread so it was closed.

Also the fact that you are spamming the board with that thread again make it very hard to believe you are not the OP of that post.

There was one today that tripped the bot that was just unfunny politics spam. If the fiekers is overly political or looks like bait it will typically get deleted but generally, we try and leave most of them up that aren’t obvious spam
Why are some Fiekers deleted and some are allowed to stay?
