One of the changes with the new site is that when your thread gets deleted, you'll get an automatic message telling you so. Please keep in mind a few things:

1. I probably deleted 30 things today. If you respond to the automatic message with "why" I will have no clue what in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ you're talking about. Be specific and give me a thread title.

2. The fact that you know who deleted your thread means we anticipate getting a lot more "what the fuck fuck you you asshole why do you delete my thread about the party and bullshit remix I swear that ish was fresh" garbage and abuse in PMs. Don't bother. If that's your reaction, I'll temp ban you, because that will get old really fast.

3. If you have a legitimate question about why your thread was deleted, if you're specific as to what thread it was, and if you're reasonably civil about it, we'll probably give you our reasoning for it. Don't expect to be able to argue your way into having the thread restored, though, we delete a lot of stuff just based on judgment and it's up to whoever deleted the thread as to whether it stays that way.

This has been a public service announcement from your friendly neighbourhood moderating staff.

Better question is why would someone take that username for themselves unless they were a trolling alias?

This needs to be bumped because 80% of the PMs I get now just say "why?"

I'm not answering that crap. I do not have the time explain this to all of you. If you want to know why your thread was removed, tell me what thread it was.

This is actually quite a generous thing to do, because almost 99.999999% of the time a thread get deleted, its always a good reason, and the mods who delete threads use impeccable judgement when it comes to that, so the fact they are actually getting you a chance to try and "fight" it, is qutie astounding to me, because i would so rather use my time somewhere else on NS than explaining to some little 12 year old about why their stupid post got deleted. Because i do my part on here and refer posts that are extremely inappropriate to mods or admins because i would hate seeing this site go down the tubes.

And this needs to be sticky'ed for future NS'ers and curent ones

but just another way the mods are doing their part here on NS

Yeah, same, which is why I'm pretty much ready to just say we get rid of this feature, because kids just bitch moan and complain despite the fact that their thread was absolutely idiotic and clearly needed to disappear. But you're wrong about the opportunity to fight it thing. That's not the point, the point was just to let you know and possibly give you an explanation as to why. it's not like you're going to win a debate over it and it's going to be put back, despite what morons on here seem to think.

Yeah I know that you can’t debate to put your post back, that more the reason why i put fight in quotation marks, because i couldn't quite pick a correct word that would suit the situation,

But I think the BST needs to have a much more strict hold on what people post.

For example, if a seller does not follow the rules (i.e. the "buying and selling for dummies" thread) that are laid out, as in, no pictures, description, etc. equals instant deletion of thread, no questions asked.

Also maybe even implement some sort tool that when someone (usually a noob) finds an older thread in the BST, make it so they can ONLY PM the seller, because if there is no clear post saying "SOLD" they should still be able to communicate to the seller, in the off, but still possible chance that the seller still has the item in his/her possession. This will prevent the idiot from bumping a thread that is over a year old, keeping the BST clean, and I know there have been several threads about this, but I'm just putting my two cents.
