RJ200725 two threads deleted: any explanation why?

[Harleyquin13]

I've noticed the two threads for the game with the RJ code given in the title have been completely wiped from the forums. Since I started the second thread and followed all the rules regarding thread creation, I'm asking what rationale was given for their complete deletion with no warning regarding non compliance of game thread discussion rules.

Only reasons I could think of are creator requests to delete the discussion threads or a bias against any thread which doesn't provide an English language title. The latter would not surprise me if it was the reason for the thread obliteration.

So search only gives these results:




And the deleted thread's OP doesn't have any information on who deleted it, only when:


Unfortunately it says it was deleted May 21 2017, but that contradicts the edit on the OP which was made June 5 2017 and the final post in the thread being made August 27 2017. I can't screenshot the message it gives me saying that no moderator actions have been logged on the thread because it's a temporary banner. My best guess is that this thread was fucked by either the last vbulletin update or the conversion to xenoforo.


As far as I can tell there was never another thread for this game or it would have popped up in my search results, unless it had been merged with the original thread and there's no evidence of that.

Going to rez the original thread as I can't see a reason not to.

I doubt that's the only thread that's been hit by the same mass deletion. Not sure how you got your search results since using the RJ code didn't give anything on my end.

Threads that have been "removed from public view" (soft deleted) like that one are visible to mods or users that have been given permission to see them through the forum's permissions interface, so it wouldn't have shown up for your search.

I don't see the thread revived in any forum.
Not sure if it's worth creating another thread for the sequel knowing the forum is likely to randomly delete it for no good reason.

Thanks. Looks like I remembered wrong and it's just the one thread. At least it's back from the dead.
