Replying to What's the exact policy on deleting threads here??

Recently I've seen a lot of threads disappear (which i'm assimilating to be deleted by a mod/admin).

I'm not talking about dub threads, no mostly stupid threads on sg (i don't go often on nsg so i wouldn't know, and tbh i don't really care what gets deleted there) such as "who's the best pro". Yeah sure, they'll start a shitstorm, pros will get bitched on big time but wtf NS, you can't just be like hey, this thread has literally been created 50 times, so ill just delete this one before too many users post in it. Just now, a thread was made about do you prefer baggy or fitted. I get it, there's been tons of those but in all honesty those threads don't bother me. In fact as long as it's not a "how to backflip" thread i'm fine with posting the same stuff I posted in the last 2 same threads again.

End of the line, i'd just wanna know what the policy given to mods regarding deleting threads is, and if they are not just taking a bit too much advantage of their powers to delete any "annoying" n00b threads that will possibly start a shitstorm. I'm happy the summer bitching/trolling phase is over, but common, has NS definitely gone too soft now?
