This really isn’t the place for this, but let me try to provide some clarification on moderation if I can.
Players may report a post if they feel it may violate policy and while they may be wrong in their assessment, it isn’t considered a “false report”. The only thing that may happen when a post is reported is it may be temporarily hidden and marked for review. From that point it is entirely up to the moderation team to determine if the post violates policy or otherwise requires moderation.
If someone abuses the reporting system by using multiple characters or accounts to report a post, that is usually recognized and dealt with to discourage further such abuse.
So, if a thread is found to violate our Forum Code of Conduct a penalty may be applied to the posting account and the post/thread deleted or otherwise edited.
However, there are other reasons why a thread may be removed. As mentioned, if the thread gets derailed or otherwise devolves, the moderation team will usually attempt to remove those comments to get it back on track, but often the derailing discussion becomes too pervasive and it is best to close or remove the entire thread.
A thread also may be removed if there are many other threads on the same subject, as there is easily with the Plunderstorm threads currently. A thread may also be removed, without penalty, if the title and/or initial post is judged unproductive.
The thread that was recently deleted was simply unproductive along with being one of many existing threads. If you have feedback on the event, it would be best to join one of the existing threads, or even the original comment thread which announced the event.
I hope that helps.
