Why did I get thread muted in the . thread?

Dec 29, 2017 yodaofborg link
I've noticed a few of my posts get removed lately, and I do not mean the obnoxious ones where I swear a lot, these ones seem fine, but telling blaqk that nobody is going to believe a word he says ever again is hardly grounds for a thread mute? Another example is Luxens Xmas give away thread, I simply posted a character name I actually have, and this post was removed too. (I was not pretending to be Ecka, or anything, like some others)

Now I could raise a support ticket for this, but I raise enough of them for various reasons already so would just like to clarify, do the moderators here actually think that they can bully me into silence by deleting the innocent posts, hoping it will drive me mental? I really can see no other reason as to why that last one would have been deleted, I know you do not have to explain yourselves to me, but what? come on?

Just to clarify for others: I am not deleting my posts, you are not crazy either, you did see that post get deleted for no apparent reason.

I dunno Yoda.

Regarding the giveaway, did your pilot receive a prize? I do remember you signing up, and if your submission had been deleted before i ran the giveaway i can run off the program with a single pilot name to get you your item.

A lot of your posts have been pretty...ehh... lately. Maybe someone just removed all of your most recent posts at once and that one got caught in it too? shrug

Yeah, a lot of my posts have been pretty ehh recently, but they are still there(kinda my point). I'm not bothered about the giveaway, it was just a post that i noticed that had been deleted that really should not have been. (no, bumcheese got no prize)

I get it, I am an old bitter player that should be forgotten about, well I was promised a few virgins I never got and blah blah blah for VO in 10 years time if I pledged my virgin daughter to the god a1k0n who has gone silent since that time but whatever man. This is weird.

[edit]

So is Whistler, and so is Phaserlight, who gives a crap how old I am? Yer a nasty bastard Luxen.

I got a thread deleted recently but it was well deserved I explained in detail why one should off themselves for suggesting lens flares

Yoda:

In the post you have referenced above, you called someone a "dick" and a "bell end". Had you opened a ticket you would have been told this, as the thread mutes are well documented.

I find it fascinating how the mere act of deleting some people's posts, you can make make them feel very assailed and threatened. It's as if their posts are their literal limbs.

My favorite one is when a thread about a meme was locked for being "Political" or "Racist" meanwhile continued references to actual politics are allowed and actual racism can still be found in game (A.K.A Where the new players actually are)

Wait hold up whats even funnier is PELE Lmao Could have renamed it to FROG, MEME or DONT or disbanded it. But someone was like "eh screw it this will do" and changed a single letter. They even had characters in guild still named after The Boy's Club cartoon character. So the weird act of renaming the guild for a silly reason accomplished literally nothing until the guild vanished.

Are you telling me I can call all of TGFT dickheads, but someone who pretended to be dead I cannot? Ok, fine, I get it, what about the others?

You asked for an explanation and got one, despite the fact that you should have instead opened a ticket and had a conversation with the devs as requested.

This thread is precisely the reason for that request.

We're not going to re-hash things that have already been covered, trot out the old "oh but there's this worse thing over here" red herring, or otherwise debate things that you should handle with the devs on your own.
