Yeah, I want to know too, but was this really necessary?
It would be better if it was in off-topic.

go read the rules for this section and then rethink this post

Arekan · July 23, 2013, 05:54:04 PM

I dont see any rules against complaining about people deleting everything in their thread before locking it.

kyle222 · July 23, 2013, 05:57:32 PM

you didnt look hard enough'
"this is not a spam board"

Things you can post here:

Stories of online betrayal
How tribal/offensive/noobish certain users are
Who you should or should not ban/admin

Arekan · July 23, 2013, 05:58:52 PM

This isn't spam though. Just because the OP isn't filled with millions of glittery sparkles doesnt mean it can qualify as spam.
The title spoke for itself.

kyle222 · July 23, 2013, 06:00:31 PM

this would still suit off topic
normally, dramas are for individual users who have done nefarious things
not complaining about some stuff like this man

Arekan · July 23, 2013, 06:00:51 PM

Look at the /support drama topic.

kyle222 · July 23, 2013, 06:01:59 PM

i dont see your point
thats a valid topic about a statement that is on the borderline of breaking one of the rules
this now
this is nothing

Alyx Vance · July 23, 2013, 06:04:34 PM

I support this.
It is very annoying when there are topics with a deleted OP and the title changed.
If anything they are just spamming the forums.
Soo yea
/support

/support isn't breaking one of the rules at all though.

besides I agree on this, it does get annoying

Shortcut · July 23, 2013, 06:09:51 PM

you can get an idea of what was there by checking the subject above a post, its usually "re: original topic name"

Arekan · July 23, 2013, 06:10:59 PM

That usually doesnt help much though, more-so I wanna know whats IN the topic.
The topic name sometimes sounds like something that was worthy to keep in the OP.

Nickelob Ultra · July 23, 2013, 07:00:55 PM

i don't see the problem, you just seem to be very curious about things and are sad because you weren't there to see whatever the thread was about, even if it was probably something stuffty.

BlockoBlocko · July 23, 2013, 07:02:33 PM

But sometimes you are embarassed of what you posted, so I think it is necessary.
